Verdant Tea

This two sided tea cloth is made for caring for your yixing pottery. The suede side can be used to buff a pot after it has been rinsed with hot water, while the cloth side can be used to catch drops and dab build-up during brewing for even seasoning.

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.

These practical and affordable coasters from Xiangfu are perfect for framing off your tea cups while you brew, or for display. Xiangfu uses bamboo of varying sizes and stains for a very loose and natural aesthetic, a warm wood finish that really sets off white porcelain with stunning contrast. Due to natural variation, expect each coaster to be slightly different in finish.

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.

Bamboo runners are one of the most traditional ways to set off a space for gongfu tea. The natural wood evokes the great outdoors, and rolls up easily for travel or storage. The bamboo runner looks great with a tea boat and coasters for modern gongfu ceremony.
