Bamboo Dry Brewing Tea Tray with Embroidered Cloth – 3 Shapes (Gourd / Begonia / Cloud)

The simplicity of bamboo, the poetry of embroidery. This Bamboo Dry Brewing Tea Tray comes paired with a matching embroidered cloth - a bamboo tray of natural warmth and clean form, dressed with a piece of traditional embroidered fabric that adds color, texture, and cultural artistry to the tea table. Together, they create a tea setting of quiet, layered beauty.

Bamboo Tray (竹制茶盘)
The tray itself is crafted from fine bamboo - a material prized in Chinese culture for its natural beauty, lightness, and the subtle organic warmth it brings to any setting. Bamboo is the companion of the scholar and the tea lover alike, its clean lines and natural grain providing a grounded, unpretentious foundation for the tea ceremony. The tray is shaped into one of three auspicious forms, each carrying its own cultural meaning.

Embroidered Cloth (刺绣布垃)
Laid upon the bamboo tray is a piece of traditional embroidered cloth - a small textile work of delicate craft and refined color. The embroidery adds a layer of softness and artistry to the tray's surface, protecting the tea ware placed upon it while bringing the warmth and intimacy of handcraft to the tea table. The combination of bamboo and embroidered cloth is a distinctly Chinese aesthetic - natural material and human artistry in quiet conversation.

Dry Brewing Style (干泡式)
Designed for the dry brewing (干泡) style of tea ceremony, this tray keeps the tea table clean and elegant without the need for a drainage system. Simply place your teapot, gaiwan, or cups on the embroidered cloth and enjoy the ceremony with a focus on the tea itself.

Three Shapes to Choose From
• Gourd (葫芦形) – 13cm × 11cm × 1.5cm
The gourd is one of the most beloved auspicious symbols in Chinese folk culture, associated with prosperity, longevity, and protection. Its rounded double-lobed form brings a warm, folk-art charm to the tea table.

• Begonia (海棠形) – 14cm × 14cm × 1.5cm
The begonia (海棠) is a classic motif in Chinese decorative art, its four-petalled form elegant and symmetrical. Associated with wealth and good fortune, the begonia shape brings a refined floral grace to the tea tray.

• Cloud (云朵形) – 20.5cm × 14cm × 1.5cm
Clouds are a symbol of good fortune and celestial blessing in Chinese culture. The cloud-shaped tray is the largest of the three, offering a generous surface for a fuller tea setting while maintaining the lightness and poetry of its form.
