A bamboo tea tray with a slatted top over a shallow reservoir — the practical surface for gongfu tea. Water spilled during pouring runs between the slats and collects below rather than spreading across the table.
Gongfu tea involves pouring water over the pot, over the cups and over the tray, repeatedly. A dry tray would be constantly wet; this one has a slatted top and a reservoir below, so water drains away instead of pooling under the cups.
Laminated bamboo with an oiled finish and a drainage spout at one corner. Bamboo will mould if left wet, so the routine is simple: tip the water out after each session and let the tray air-dry right side up.
