Chaban (Tea Tray) Flat Board, Red Wood # 97071

This chaban combines a gently raised rim with a slotted centre, giving rinse water a controlled route away from the teaware. The flat board offers a calm, practical base for a teapot, cups, pitcher, and tea tools during everyday brewing.

Chaban, 茶盘, means tea tray in Chinese and is associated with gongfu tea preparation. It supports the warming and rinsing of vessels at the table, while water from the brewing process drains through the working surface.

Made in China from red-toned wood, the tray displays visible grain beneath a smooth finish, with rounded corners for a softened outline. Wipe it dry after tea, and do not leave pooled water on the wood.
