- Swirling Cloud Centerpiece Tea Board
This beautiful full-sized tea tray from Xiangfu Design Studio embraces their humble origins as a small workshop of bamboo crafters.

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.
