Tea Habitat Huang Hua Li Hardwood Tea Tray

The set consists of a top tray surface with drainage slots and a solid base reservoir underneath. This design allows excess water to drain through the top piece, keeping your tea ware dry and the surface clean during your brewing session.

Huang Hua Li is a dense, durable wood, but it still requires care. Avoid placing the tray in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators, and wipe it dry after each use to prevent moisture buildup that could warp the wood over time.

Yes, the 11-inch square footprint is well-suited for a standard gongfu setup, comfortably accommodating a teapot, a fairness pitcher, and two to four small tasting cups. It is compact enough for personal use or small gatherings without overwhelming your table.

Because Huang Hua Li is a natural hardwood, the specific gold thread grain pattern will vary from piece to piece. You can expect the same high-quality material and color tone, but each tray will have unique, organic markings that distinguish it as a natural product.

While the wood is naturally resilient, applying a food-safe mineral oil or a specialized wood wax once every few months can help maintain the luster of the grain and provide an extra layer of protection against water stains.
