The Foundation of Every Great Tea Ceremony.
Every tea ritual needs a stage. This bamboo tea tray with built-in water storage and drainage is that stage — the grounding piece that brings your entire tea ceremony together, keeps your space clean, and makes every pour feel deliberate and considered.
Crafted from natural bamboo, this tray is designed for both wet and dry use. The drainage system channels excess water — from rinsing cups, warming the teapot, or the inevitable drips of a gongfu session — directly into the built-in water storage compartment below. No puddles, no mess, no interruption to the ritual. Just a clean, dry surface ready for the next pour.
Bamboo is the traditional material of choice for tea trays, and for good reason. It's naturally water-resistant, durable, and beautiful — with a warm, organic texture that grounds the ceremony space and complements any tea set aesthetic, from rustic and earthy to clean and modern. Over time, a well-used bamboo tray develops its own character, becoming a piece that tells the story of every session it has hosted.
Available in multiple styles and configurations — from compact everyday trays to larger ceremony setups — so you can choose the size and style that suits your ritual space perfectly. Free from high-concern chemicals and built to last through years of daily tea sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I empty the water storage compartment?
The water storage compartment is designed to be easily removed or emptied — simply lift or slide out the tray section and pour away the collected water. We recommend emptying it after each session to keep the bamboo in its best condition and prevent any moisture build-up. A quick wipe down with a dry cloth after emptying will keep your tray looking beautiful for years.
How do I care for a bamboo tea tray?
Wipe down with a damp cloth after each use and dry thoroughly — avoid leaving standing water on the bamboo surface for extended periods. Do not submerge in water or put in a dishwasher. Occasionally treating the bamboo with a food-safe oil (such as mineral oil or bamboo oil) will help maintain its natural lustre and prevent cracking over time. With proper care, a bamboo tea tray will last for many years of daily use.
