The Dry Brewing Tea Tray (Chaban) No. 5 is a bamboo tea board without a drip tray or drainage system. It is made for a tidy ritual where order on the table and the beauty of serving matter: excess water does not run into a container, but stays in the teapot or goes into a separate vessel if needed.
The light rectangular board looks simple and warm. The photo shows a smooth surface with a faint bamboo grain, a row of small holes along one line and a round woven insert at one end of the board. This tea tray fits well in a modern interior and suits tea drinking at home.
