Handmade Olive Wood Teaspoon with Batik Handle
Our contemporary hand carved olive wood tea spoons are crafted in Nairobi, Kenya by Zephania and his small team. Wild Olive and Neem wood are used and are all sustainably sourced from his plantation in Kenya, alongside bone and soapstone from a local quarry.
Bone accents are a bi-product of the Kenyan farming industry and each design is hand batiked using vegetable dyes. Your loose leaf tea is crying out for these beautifully hand carved spoons with sustainably sourced batik bone tips. Available in two colors, each batik pattern is slightly different making every spoon completely unique.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Olive wood has an excellent reputation for being harder and less porous than other woods. We recommend hand washing your wooden utensils with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid boiling water and dishwashers as high temperatures may cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks.
The same measures apply to wooden utensils with horn or bone accents.
Treat them once a month with food-safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil). Simply rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
