    Black Slatted Bamboo Tea Tray
    This beautiful mini tea tray features a black lacquer style surface as a dramatic backdrop for your fine tea wares.

    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.

    "Caravan" Wooden Tea Boat

    This beautiful tea boat from Xiangfu studio shows off their mastery of wood carving with a crackle motif and contrasting curved board shape, evocative of artistic patterns inspired by the exchange between China and the middle east through the Silk Road. The lip around the board itself will catch drips as you brew, making it the perfect backdrop for modern gongfu paired with a water bowl. Compact enough to be used on a desk with a full set of gaiwan, pitcher and cups, or as part of a larger modern gongfu set up, this is an elegant and versatile piece to have on hand for tea or even iced drinks in the summer.

  11. Topography Carved Tea Board
    Topography Carved Tea Board
    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.
  12. Yew Wood and Resin Tea Boat
    Yew Wood and Resin Tea Boat

    This stunning and truly unique tea boat from Xiangfu workshop is made from a combination of aromatic yew wood and resin. Beautiful pieces of yew are selected for their unique wood grains and shapes, and allowed to truly stand out against the swirled resin. This hand-building process means every piece is unlike any other. When the fragrant board is used for tea, the heat and moisture bring out deep forestry aromatics in the wood, bringing nature to your daily tea.
    Regular Price $58.00 Special Price $46.40
