Bamboo Chinese Tea Trays

Chinese cultural activity involving tea preparation

Tea is an important part of Chinese tradition and has an extremely close relationship with Chinese culture. Tea has always been helpful in improving people's social achievements and respect for the arts. Today, tea production plays a vital role in economic development, while tea consumption has remained a practice of everyday life.

When drinking, attention is paid to the environment, atmosphere, music, and interpersonal relationships. The quality of tea is assessed by the color, smell, and taste of the tea, the quality of the water, and even the tea set. Making tea in the Chinese way requires a bowl into which the first brewed tea is poured. This is where our Bamboo Chinese Tea Trays set comes into play. This tray has bars in its middle through which the first tea is poured. Before pouring into this hole, the first brewed tea is poured into cups and only then into the cavity of the tray. All these steps represent the traditional way of preparing tea, where the tea leaves are washed away from possible dust and other impurities, and the cups are heated. During this time, the tea leaves remain in a bowl called gaiwan. Hot water is poured into it several times, and the process of pouring tea from gaiwan into a tray is repeated until the right aroma and color of the tea is obtained. Each time, the tea is poured into cups to be warmed and prepared for drinking.

This beautiful Chinese tradition has not left us indifferent. That is why we are delighted that we have included the Bamboo Chinese Tea Trays in our product range because this way of making tea is unique to the Chinese people. Therefore, these trays are also distinctive. If you opt for one of the trays, you too can be part of a remarkable tradition and prepare tea in a way that the Chinese have been doing for thousands of years.
