Chaban (Tea Tray) Flat Board, Dark Wood, with Drip Tray # 97069

This chaban uses a raised rim and a slotted centre to guide rinse water into the drip tray below, keeping the tea table orderly. Its broad, flat surface gives a teapot, fairness pitcher, cups, and accessories a stable setting.

Chaban, 茶盘, means tea tray in Chinese and belongs to the practical furniture of gongfu tea. At the table, vessels are warmed and rinsed on the tray, while surplus water is collected rather than left around the teaware.

Made in China from dark wood, this piece shows a smooth brown surface and softly rounded outer edges. Wipe it dry after use, and avoid leaving standing water on the wood for long periods.
