Bamboo duo – tea scoop and adjusting pick for Gong Fu Cha
This bamboo duo includes a tea scoop and a thin pick to measure, transfer, and adjust leaves during a Gong Fu Cha preparation, with a gaiwan, teapot, or small tea table.
The scoop allows you to take a portion of leaves, then slide them cleanly into the gaiwan or teapot, without touching them directly with your fingers.
The adjusting pick helps guide the leaves, free any that are stuck, or slightly reorganize the material in the vessel, without tamping or crushing the leaves.
INFORMATION
These accessories are useful for preparing loose-leaf tea with greater precision. They allow you to measure, move, and adjust the leaves without unnecessarily breaking them or scattering the material on the table.
The scoop structures the first step of preparation: taking the right amount, observing the leaves, then pouring them into the gaiwan or teapot. The pick then intervenes to guide or clear the leaves if necessary.
Bamboo is lightweight, easy to handle, and suitable for precise tea gestures. Its shade, grain, and details may vary slightly from piece to piece.

stoneware gaiwan with two cups,
suitable for short infusions and small servings.
To organize the tea table and collect rinsing water, it can accompany the

🤍 Ikane Workshop Tip
Scoop without tamping, pour in a single motion, then use the pick only to clear or guide the leaves. This way, the tea maintains a cleaner preparation, without unnecessarily breaking the material.
