In Pursuit of Tea Tea Tray

The tray features a removable slotted top that sits over a sturdy base. When you pour excess water or rinse your tea leaves, the liquid drains through the slots into the base, keeping your table dry. To clean, simply lift the top piece and empty the accumulated water from the frame.

Yes, it is designed specifically for that purpose. The drainage system handles the frequent water usage required for gongfu brewing, providing a stable and mess-free surface for your gaiwan or teapot and cups.

Because it is made of natural bamboo, this tray is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash it with mild soap and water, then wipe it dry immediately to prevent warping or mold. We recommend occasionally applying a food-safe mineral oil to keep the bamboo conditioned and looking its best.

With dimensions of 11.5 inches by 8.5 inches, it is sized to comfortably hold a standard tea set, including a teapot and two to four small cups. It is compact enough for a personal session but spacious enough for a small gathering.

While it is designed for tea service, the tray's elegant aesthetic makes it a versatile piece. You could certainly use it as a decorative serving platter for dry snacks or as a base for a coffee station, provided you do not expose it to high heat or liquid-heavy foods that might damage the bamboo.
