Know before you buy
Since this tray is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it with mild soap and water, then wipe it dry immediately. To maintain the bamboo's longevity, occasionally apply a food-grade mineral oil to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking.
No, this tea boat is not food-safe. It is designed specifically as a decorative organizer for your tea ritual and to catch water during the Gong Fu Cha steeping process.
The two-piece design features a slatted top layer that allows water to drain through into the solid base tray below. This keeps your teaware dry and prevents puddles from forming on your counter during multiple infusions.
With dimensions of 15.75"L x 8"W, this large tray provides ample space for a gaiwan or teapot along with several small tasting cups. It is sized to comfortably accommodate a traditional Gong Fu tea setup.
While bamboo is naturally water-resistant, it is a porous material. To keep the tray in top condition, avoid letting standing water sit in the base for extended periods and ensure the tray is fully dried after each use.
