A tea mill that fits in the palm of your hand, made using the spinning lathe technique of Yamanaka lacquer ware. It is a fine article handmade with the traditional skill of wood grain craftsmen, and has the tender feel of natural wood. Unlike normal mortars, it features no roughness in the inner part making it easy to grind and to wash. With the pestle grinding snugly inside the smooth inner part, the fragrant tea leaf nutrients are kept inside, and the tea powder can be ground without much physical effort. Also when grinding, the action of turning the pestle while pushing it with the palm creates an acupressure effect. This utensil delightfully supports your healthy lifestyle by allowing you to grind the tea healthily by completely taking in its nutrients. Not only for tea, it can also be used as a mortar for sesame seeds and dried anchovies.
木地職人の伝統の技による手づくりの逸品で、天然木のやさしい風合いが生きています。
特徴は、一般的な擦り鉢と違って内側はざらつきがないため擦りやすく、また洗いやすいこと。その滑らかな内側に擦り棒が心地よく摩擦し合うことで、香り立つ茶葉の栄養分を逃すことなく、しかも力いらずで粉茶状に挽くことができます。
挽く際に棒を手のひらで押しながら回すので、ツボ押しの効果も。健康的に挽けて、お茶の栄養分をまるごと摂取できる、健康生活を後押ししてくれるうれしい道具です。お茶だけでなく、胡麻や煮干しの擦り鉢としても使えます。
