Nankei Brass Tea Scoop (Chasaji)

A Scoop Designed for the Tea Caddy

This brass tea scoop is made to fit precisely between the inner and outer lids of Nankei’s tea caddy. It stores invisibly within the container itself, becoming part of the tea storage ritual rather than a separate tool.

Its thin profile allows it to slide easily into loose leaves without crushing them, making it especially comfortable to use for everyday tea preparation.

Uncoated Brass That Ages With Use

Made from uncoated brass, the surface gradually deepens in color through handling and time. The hairline finish is intentional, giving the metal texture and character as it develops patina.

Each scoop will age differently depending on how it is used and handled.

Light, Thin, and Delicate by Design

This scoop is made from thin brass. Because of this, it may bend or dent if dropped or subjected to impact. This lightness is intentional — allowing it to move smoothly through tea leaves with very little resistance.

Made to Be Part of the Tea Ritual

Rather than being stored in a drawer, this scoop lives inside the tea caddy itself. A small, thoughtful detail that keeps tea preparation simple, organized, and calm.
