Chaban (Tea Tray) Square Black # 95860

This square chaban places a slatted bamboo top inside a raised black melamine frame, creating a clear contrast and a contained surface for teaware. The grooves guide rinse water below, while the broad shape gives a stable setting for a complete tea arrangement.

Chaban, meaning tea tray, is used in gongfu brewing to manage water from rinsing leaves, warming vessels, and pouring excess tea. It sits beneath the gaiwan or teapot, cups, and fairness pitcher, keeping the table composed through repeated infusions.

Melamine and bamboo are widely used for practical tea trays made in China. The dark frame surrounds the golden bamboo grain and gives the piece a clean, functional appearance; rinse gently, then dry the bamboo insert.
