소개
The gongfu tea tray (cha pan) is a draining tray used in Chinese gongfu tea service. It features a slotted surface over a reservoir or drain that catches excess water from warming vessels, rinsing tea, and discarding rinse water. This allows the host to pour freely without concern for spills, creating a relaxed, flowing tea session. Trays range from compact travel sizes to elaborate stone or hardwood pieces.
