Each scoop is hand-hammered from a single sheet of flat copper, and every mark on the surface is a single strike of the hammer. One end scoops bulky leaves and the other slides tea into narrow teapot openings, and the scoop stores between the canister's two lids. The textured top contrasts with a smooth underside, and the copper darkens gradually with use. No two are identical, and color tones vary slightly. Matching canister available.
