A matcha measuring spoon that holds 1 g
This matcha measuring spoon is sized to hold 1 g of matcha per scoop. That matters more than it might seem. Too much matcha turns a bowl bitter, too little leaves it thin, and a kitchen teaspoon can hold more or less depending on how heaped it is. With a set measure, you find the strength you like and make it the same way every time.
Using a 1 gram matcha scoop
Most servings call for 1 to 2 g. We start most drinks at two scoops: whisked into about three ounces of water at 175°F for a bowl of usucha, or into two ounces as the base for a latte. One scoop makes a lighter cup. Changing a recipe by a single gram is easy, and you will taste the difference. It is handy in baking and recipes too.
Stainless steel or bamboo
A stainless steel matcha scoop gives an exact measure and is built to last, so it suits a busy kitchen and daily use. Rinse and dry it after use. A bamboo chashaku is the traditional tool, lighter in the hand and less precise. Many people use this scoop for lattes and the chashaku for a slower bowl. Sift first with our matcha sifter.
