    This saucer is perfect as a tea boat for modern gongfu brewing where you skip a full tea board. The saucer will catch any small drips from your teapot or pitcher and act as a beautiful understated backdrop while you brew. The saucer also works beautifully as a paring with any saucerless celadon gaiwans in the collection if you prefer the look and feel of a saucer set-up, but is equally at home with an yixing pot.

Adding a pot like this to your tea set eliminates the need for a large draining tea board. This modern, purposeful and elegant way to drink tea can be reconfigured in any space for any size gathering.

This gilded Longquan porcelain vase is an elegant piece for both tea ceremony and on its own.

These coasters are hand woven in Yunnan from bamboo and become darker over time as they absorb tea spills.

  4. Wood & Resin Elemental Coaster
    Wood & Resin Elemental Coaster
    Our tea-growing partners like to describe tea as tian di ren, a collaboration between earth, sky and people. These coasters are an evocative reflection on this collaboration - with resin capturing the feeling of “sky,” of water and air, the wood burls as nature and earth, and the joining of the two, the act of craft by the workshop, the people. Symbolism aside, these are a stunning and beautiful coaster solution, ready to carve out a special space on your table for the finest teas. Each coaster is unique.
  5. Gongfu Tea Cloth
    Gongfu Tea Cloth

    The ubiquitous tea cloth is a critical part of any gongfu tea ceremony. A cloth is critical to dab any drips from pitcher or pot as your pour, to wipe down your tea board between uses and to polish your yixing, jian zhan, celadon, or any other pottery that grows more beautiful over many uses. The soft absorbent material was designed specifically with teaware in mind.
  6. Bamboo Runner

  7. Verdant Green Runner
    Verdant Green Runner
    This exceptionally long runner in natural fiber can be used on a grand dining table, or folded in halves or thirds for use at a tea or coffee table. The green is a beautiful way to set off tea wares, especially darker wood pieces and yixing pottery.
