Product story
In the world of gongfu tea, every object tells a story—and the tray is the silent stage where the entire performance unfolds. This retro-style ceramic tea tray, with its classic palette and solid build, draws inspiration from the stoneware trays used in Chinese teahouses during the late Qing and early Republican era.
Back then, tea trays weren’t ornate—they were tools. Fired at high temperatures and made from thick, weighty clay, they were meant to hold heat, contain spills, and age gracefully. This modern interpretation preserves that spirit. Its gentle curves, clean lines, and muted glaze create a timeless backdrop for your gaiwan, teapots, or teacups. No flashing patterns. No distractions. Just calm, confident utility.

Gongfu style brewing
Gongfu-style brewing, rooted in Fujian and Guangdong tea traditions, is an intricate method that maximizes flavor through precision and repetition. Using a small teapot or gaiwan, high leaf-to-water ratios, and short, successive infusions, this technique extracts the tea’s evolving aromas and textures. The ritual emphasizes mindfulness, skill, and appreciation of fine teas, making each brew an immersive experience.
