Chaban (Tea Tray) Playing Guqin Chestnut Large # 95864

This chaban offers a generous rectangular brewing surface, with fine slots for draining rinse water and a small opening for directing it away. The broad rounded wooden-coloured frame is comfortable to handle and gives cups and teaware a stable setting.

Tea trays belong to the gongfu tradition, in which water is used to warm and rinse vessels before tea is served. A dry-brewing tray separates the working surface from collected water, keeping the arrangement orderly throughout a tea session.

Made in China, it pairs a chestnut-toned surface with a darker inset and softly rounded frame. Pour water carefully through the drainage opening, empty the tray afterwards, and wipe it dry before putting it away.
