“Three Gentleman” Bamboo Tea Scoop Set

For the Earth subscription box, we’ve decided to mix things up a bit and expand our “tea cup” subscription choice to include “tea equipment” by making this customized JTH “Three Gentlemen” tea scoop set.

Traditionally, various scoops, spoons, and tongs used for Gongfu Teamaking are referred to as the “Six Gentlemen.”

In this set, I’ve picked the three most important of the six, the ones I find I actually use. The set includes:

1. A bamboo tea scoop, perfect for displaying your tea and sliding it cleanly into a teapot or gaiwan;

2. A long spoon for drawing leaves out of a bag or canister onto the tea scoop, ending in a sharp point to serve as a pick for breaking up tea cakes or clumps,

3. A pair of tongs, for grabbing cups and manipulating objects on the tea table (we also included a resting pillow for the tongs and needle, as a “tird-and-a-half gentleman).

All of these items come in a quality soft cloth travel pouch with the Jesse’s Teahouse teapot logo embroidered on the top, with a string-and-button closure.

Whether you use the items regularly, or just array them on the side of your tea setup to improve your tea-making environment, the set is made of quality materials and can be a partner to your tea-making for a long time.
