Verdant Tea

This clever circular teaboard features a fully waterproof hidden plastic tray to protect the beautiful bamboo board itself. The circular tea board is a statement piece in gongfu brewing, a symbol of everyone’s equal place at the table for tea, and a mirror of the circular gaiwan, pitcher and cups. Boards like these can be used on their own for a compact set-up at a desk, or as a tea boat for your favorite Yixing pot, lined up on a runner with a pitcher, cups, and water bowl for a full-sized elegant modern gongfu set. The dot and line motif for draining is inspired by the trigrams of the Yi Ching.

Every few years, Xiangfu Workshop releases a flagship teaboard, one that they designed to meet any brewing need flexibly and affordably. This simple bamboo draining tea tray with an elegant bird motif is Xiangfu’s answer to the essential teaboard, the one that they outfit tea tasting schools, and teahouses with for everyday heavy use.

When you have an exquisite tea set up, the board should be there to help every cup, teapot, and the tea itself really shine. This stunning centerpiece minimalist tea board does just that. No lip, on slats for draining - just a simple, carefully cut and sloped piece of bamboo with just a few drain holes lined up down the center. For a perfectly minimalist look, you can let water drain to the hidden plastic tray without a drain tube, but for big sessions, you can hook in the drain tube to keep going all day.

If you have gongfu tea every day, you might have a whole table devoted to your tea set up. If so, this centerpiece board is the perfect piece to serve as a backdrop to all your beautiful cups and teapots. This board can facilitate big group gongfu tastings, or side-by-side comparisons where you might have multiple gaiwans going at once. Or it can serve as a beautiful display for your prized Yixing between uses. No matter the set up, this board is ready to help create incredible gongfu sessions. You can either let water drain to a built-in hadden tray, or connect the included pump and tube to drain water to a larger basin.

The circular platform with a carved lotus is the centerpiece of this board, serving as a place for a favorite teapot or gaiwan, while the carved channels are perfect for cups and pitchers. This deep, dark, solid board is actually made from dense resin-soaked bamboo that is kiln-fired for deep color. The board can be used with a drain cap for modern gongfu or with a tube in place for traditional draining gongfu tea.

A carved bird motif is paired with cleverly designed grooves running along the surface to a drain channel that goes all the way around. This allows for a draining board with no slope. The fact that water poured over teapots drains away, even under the pot itself makes this style the preferred board for yixing collectors looking to show off their most beautiful pieces. A tube is included for flexible drainage, but the board is also a gorgeous framing piece in modern gongfu sets with a water bowl.

The geometric lines intersecting the octagonal window evoke mist rolling by in the early morning. They also serve as a channel to drain this evocative tea board. A favorite teapot in the choice ‘window spot’ gives it center stage. This board draws on Xiangfu’s rich experience with bamboo as part of their new “Sacred Fig Tree” series, a new style of board made with dense, resin-soaked bamboo for solid weight and durability.

This beautiful full-sized tea tray from Xiangfu Design Studio embraces their humble origins as a small workshop of bamboo crafters. The Chinese name 水云间 literally means “the space between clouds and water,” an evocative image that inspires the cut channels that serve as the drain for water poured during tea ceremony to run into the hidden tray underneath. The channels mirror the steam on a just brewed cup of tea rising and swirling, priming the tea board as a special “space” for tea. For big group tea sessions, this board has a drain with a tube so that you can keep brewing without emptying the tray itself.

The natural rough hewn-texture of this monumental stone tea board serves as a grounded foundation for gongfu tea. The choice of material is a critical piece of the overall balance of a gongfu set up, and stone evokes the rocky landscapes where fine tea grows, while reflecting on the minerals-driven textural complexity of great tea. The hewn grey of this board turns dark and lustrous as hot water is poured over it, and the water flows down the channel along the edges to drain to maintain a clean modern look. For modern gongfu ceremony, cap the drain with the included cap and the board works as a stunning tea boat.

This dream-like, abstract hand-painted porcelain gongfu tea brewing set from Peng Yuan Qing Hua studio shows off the studio's masterful, gestural painting skills and the depth of color contrast they achieve between lustrous white porcelain and traditional blue glaze.

This extraordinarily-limited set is inspired by the Song Dynasty scholar’s garden pavilion studio: a contemplative space away from the bustle of the house to write poetry, practice calligraphy, and critically, drink tea. Each piece was chosen for their exquisite but unassuming nature - a set of tea ware that puts the tea first, but if you look at and handle each cup, the teapot or the board itself, their beauty shines through. The pot is a special kind of Ru - a tricky, difficult to pull off white glaze. This is not your classic porcelain. Ru has a softness and inner glow that comes through in the light. It feels completely different, but in a subtle and understated way. The cups are fully hand made pieces, thrown by hand and painted by hand to a staggering level of fine detail. The thinness of these pieces piece and what the artists were able to achieve is unreal. Jingdezhen porcelain is on another level.

Finally, the tea board itself is made with lovely yew wood and a striking aromatic resin. This board smells like a forest when it is hot or covered in tea, bringing a piece of the outdoors to your daily brew. All together, this is a set for truly enjoying every sip.

Experimental Porcelain Artist Yi Xuan hosts professors, research students and collectors at her family home and kiln built into the side of a mountain on the outskirts of Dehua. When everyone gathers to have tea together, Yi Xuan uses only her own work to brew, and one of the top requests she kept hearing was for presentation plates that could act as teh foundation for a gaiwan or teapot, the saucer for a cup, or a plate to show off the tea leaves before brewing. This year, she decided to fire a very limited number of plates using her wild ash glaze finishing process. She released half to us and keeps half at her studio to offer guests as they sip. This truly one-of-a-kind piece is the exact plate pictured. Yi Xuan’s process and her kiln make for stunningly unique pieces that can never turn out the same again. Once this individual piece finds a new home, it is gone.
