Using this bamboo scoop (Chashaku), you can conveniently measure the matcha powder needed to prepare your tea without a scale. The curved shape of this wooden matcha measuring spoon helps you scoop out the tea powder effortlessly from every tin and pouch. How much does a matcha spoon hold? Each scoop weighs approximately 1 to 1.5 grams. How to use a matcha scoop? First, warm your matcha bowl (Chawan) with hot water, then discard the water and dry the bowl. Hold the Chashaku like a pencil, to scoop the matcha powder and put it into your bowl. Ideally also use a matcha sifter for extra smooth and creamy matcha. For each serving of matcha or matcha latte, use 1 or 2 scoops, depending on your preferred strength, and whisk it with 60 ml of water. For traditional thick matcha (Koicha), use 3 to 4 scoops with 30-40 ml of water. How much caffeine in a scoop of matcha? A scoop of matcha powder typically contains 30 to 70 mg of caffeine, but can range from 19 to 88 mg, depending on powder quality. How to clean matcha scoop? Wipe it with a dry paper towel or cloth to remove powder. As bamboo absorbs moisture and can crack, avoid water and soap. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and dry thoroughly, or gently use a soft toothbrush for stuck bits. Always air dry completely and avoid dishwashers to prevent damage and taste contamination.
