Pressed Bamboo Tea Tasting Tray # 95852

This pressed bamboo chaban provides a broad, level surface for a teapot, cups and a fairness pitcher. Its raised dark rim contains splashes, while the warm inner panel and clean square profile keep a tea table orderly without distracting from the ware.

The chaban is a modern tea-tray form used in gongfu tea, where brewing involves rinsing vessels and pouring several infusions. Raised edges and a recessed centre help keep water on the tray, allowing the tea table to be cleared neatly after service.

Bamboo is widely used for Chinese tea furniture because it is light, renewable and suited to slatted or laminated construction. Here, the pressed surface has an even grain and warm brown finish; wipe away moisture promptly and keep it dry between tea sessions.
