Product detailed description
Overview
The presentation scoop (known as chahe 茶荷) is a tool that has been used for centuries to display and transfer measured tea into the teaware. The chahe became especially popular during the Tang dynasty (618-907) and was made from various materials such as bamboo, metal, or porcelain due to their water-resistant properties. Bamboo, known for its strength and natural resistance to moisture, is an ideal material for working with tea. This tool is indispensable for any tea lover who wants to enjoy a pure infusion while appreciating traditional tea craftsmanship. The chahe is made from one piece of crafted bamboo. It has a well-shaped outer part that fits perfectly in the hand. The chahe is most commonly used during tea ceremonies and tea evaluations. Each piece is unique.
Use
- Preparation: Put chahe on your scale or on the table, and put a desirable amount of loose or pressed tea on it (standardly 5-7 g)
- Transfering: After you will observe enough the dry tea leaves as well as the tea aroma, hold your chahe in front of your teaware. With the other hand, use a teaspoon or tea needle and slowly push the dry tea leaves into the teaware.
- Storage: Store the chahe in a dry and well-ventilated place to maintain its properties and ensure long-lasting use. Regular maintenance and proper storage will ensure that your brush is ready for use whenever you want to enjoy your favourite tea.
