Verdant Tea

We love circular tea trays! The shape creates an open space and an invitation for everyone tasting tea to be equally involved. This well-built tray is a perfect size for home or work, and is big enough to comfortably hold a teapot or gaiwan, a pitcher and several cups. The dark staining on the bamboo dramatically sets off the white and blue of fine porcelain. The size and weight make this board packable for travel.

This beautiful mini tea tray features a black lacquer style surface as a dramatic backdrop for your fine tea wares.

This simple bamboo tray is a perfect set-up for modern gongfu tea. It is big enough to hold a gaiwan, a pitcher and two small cups, making it easy to move your set up around the house, take it to a sink for cleaning up, or even carve out gong fu tea space at work.

This dramatic dark wood tea boat is carved with 福, meaning good luck and blessing. The grooves in the carving give water a place to run off when brewing modern gongfu tea. The tea boat is a critical piece of the modern gongfu style, allowing brewing without a large tea board.

This beautiful hardwood 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.

The tea board is the foundation of gongfu tea, and this is solid foundation indeed, formed from a beautiful piece of hewn stone. The choice of material is a critical piece of the overall balance of a gongfu set up, and stone brings in a sense of groundedness, while reflecting on the rocky textural complexity of fine tea. The stormy 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 long and elegant tea board was designed to facilitate clean, modern gongfu - a contemporary ceremony where a bowl is used to catch extra water, and the pieces are more interchangeable and portable. This board has room for a gaiwan, a pitcher, strainer, and two to four cups, but still fits on a desk or living room table without issue. The bold carving reflects the mountainous topography of tea growing regions like Wuyishan, and also forms channels to catch any water that drips while brewing.

Gongfu tea can be a perfect solo companion, helping carve out time in the day to stop and enjoy taste, texture and aroma of fine tea.
