Chaban (Tea Tray) Snow Rock - Resin Walnut Dry Brew # 95857

The chaban is a dry brewing tray in walnut and resin, with a vivid blue-and-white band inset along the rear edge like a stylised snow ridge. Its broad wood field gives teaware a stable, quiet base, while the raised border contains small spills.

The chaban belongs to the gongfu tea tradition, where a dedicated tray presents the brewing arrangement and helps define the brewer’s working area. In dry brewing, the tray remains a composed platform for teaware, with excess water poured away or handled separately.

Made in China, this tray pairs richly figured walnut with a resin inlay whose turquoise, cream and dark accents create the snow-rock effect named for the design. The recessed border helps protect the composition; wipe gently, dry after use and avoid abrasive cleaning.
