{"product_id":"bamboo-gongfu-tea-tray-1","title":"Bamboo Gongfu Tea Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo parts: a slatted bamboo top, and a shallow tray underneath that catches whatever runs off. In gongfu brewing the first rinse gets poured away and the cups get warmed and emptied, so a tray that can take spilled water is not a nicety - it is the thing that makes the whole method possible on a table you care about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is small on purpose. There is room for one pot and two cups, which is the size most tea actually gets drunk at. To empty it you lift the top off and pour the base out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 27 x 14 x 3 cm \/ 10.63 x 5.51 x 1.18 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 392 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBamboo, two pieces - slatted top and removable base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpty the base after each session rather than leaving water standing in it. Wipe both parts with a damp cloth and let them dry fully apart, not stacked. No dishwasher and no soaking - bamboo is a laminate of strips, and prolonged water gets between them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much water does the base hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnough for the rinses and drips of a normal session, not enough to be a sink. Empty it when you are done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stain from dark tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver time, yes, unevenly and mostly around the slats. Bamboo takes on tea the way a teapot does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it big enough for a full tea set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. One pot, two cups. A six-cup set needs a tray roughly twice this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the top come off?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It lifts straight out, which is how you empty and clean it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiled under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/natural-home-finds\"\u003eThe Serein Edit\u003c\/a\u003e, beside the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/olive-wood-kitchenware\"\u003eolive wood\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SereinHome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46499122217096,"sku":"Dsers","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/3992\/8712\/files\/Sf54404ce8619472f85ca97bc64a49919w.webp?v=1788848021","url":"https:\/\/sereinhome.store\/products\/bamboo-gongfu-tea-tray-1","provider":"Serein Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
