I am a huge tea drinker and wanted a ceramic scoop for my loose tea that looked modern and was convenient. The trilobal design of this ceramic scoop prevents rolling and rocking when the scoop is put down. I don't like it when spoons touch my desk at work and get gross, so I designed the Trilobal Tea Scoop with an upward angle and a center of gravity that keeps the scooping head lifted off the desk or counter surface. See my store for the matching stand for this scoop.
