Olive Wood Long Handled Coffee Spoon
Couldn't load pickup availability
These stylish hand-carved wild olive wood coffee spoons are great for measuring your ground coffee. The long handle reaches the bottom of deeper containers, and it's just as handy for stirring and mixing. Pair with our other olive wood utensils to build a rustic, contemporary set.
Who made your spoon?
Our contemporary wooden products are hand-carved in a Nairobi workshop run by Zephania, one of the founders of the popular Maasai Market in Westlands. They are made from wild olive wood, sustainably sourced from Zephania’s own plantations in his hometown of Kisii, where he continually replants trees.

Care
Olive wood has an excellent reputation for being harder and less porous than other woods. Hand wash with a mild detergent and warm water, avoiding boiling water and dishwashers, as high temperatures can cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks. The same applies to any pieces with horn or bone accents.
Once a month, treat with a food-safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil) — rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
