Tea Roasting & Incense Burner Set — Ceramic Dry-Heat Tea Warmer with Lotus Dish

The Art of Slow Heat — Tea Roasting & Incense Burner Set

Before the first steep, there is the roast. Gently warming your tea leaves over a candle flame — a practice known as bei cha (焙茶) — awakens dormant aromatics, drives off residual moisture, and prepares the leaf to give its very best. This ceramic set makes that ritual as beautiful as it is functional.

The kiln-fired ceramic burner is designed for dry-heat use — safe for direct flame, slow to heat, and slow to cool, creating the gentle, even warmth that tea roasting demands. The lotus-form dish above catches the leaf and diffuses heat evenly, while the whole assembly sits on a natural wood base that protects your tea table and grounds the set visually.

Use it to roast tea before brewing, warm a teapot, or burn incense during a tea session. A single object with many quiet purposes.

What’s Included

• ✓ Ceramic burner — kiln-fired, safe for dry heat
• ✓ Lotus dish (莲蓬碟) — for roasting tea leaves or holding incense
• ✓ Candle holder — fits standard tea-light candles
• ✓ Wood base — natural, heat-insulating
• ✓ Tea pick / stirrer (茶拨) — for turning leaves during roasting
• ✓ 1 candle — included to get you started

How to Use

Place the candle in the holder, light it, and set the lotus dish above. Add your tea leaves to the dish and stir gently with the tea pick every 30–60 seconds. When the leaves are warm and fragrant — usually 2–3 minutes — they are ready to brew. The same setup works beautifully with incense cones or loose incense during meditation or tea ceremony.

Perfect For

Aged pu-erh, roasted oolong, and any tea that has been stored and benefits from gentle reawakening before brewing. Also a serene addition to any tea table, meditation space, or slow-living ritual.
