Chaban (Tea Tray) Pressed Bamboo Rectangular # 95867

This rectangular chaban presents a warm pressed-bamboo surface within a deep black rim, giving a tea arrangement both generous working space and clear boundaries. Closely spaced slots drain rinse water, while the round opening provides a defined route for collecting it.

Tea trays are part of gongfu practice, where water warms vessels, rinses leaves, and may be poured over the pot. In a dry-brewing tray, these waters pass beneath the slatted surface, allowing the teapot, gaiwan, and cups to remain arranged.

Made in China, the pressed bamboo shows layered grain and natural tonal variation beneath the dark frame. Wipe away tea and standing water after each use, then let the bamboo surface dry completely before storage.
