This is a tea tray made from a single piece of natural wood. It's a solid wood finish that makes the most of the wood's natural shape, allowing you to enjoy the texture of the material, including the natural grain, knots, and cracks. A metal drain is attached to the side, allowing water from brewing tea to drain naturally when a hose or similar is connected. The surface is carved to prevent water from pooling. There are signs of aging, minor scratches, cracks, and color variations typical of natural materials, but this does not affect its use. Please consider this item only if you understand that it is a natural material and is being sold as-is. It has a strong presence as an interior decoration and is recommended for tea ceremonies, such as Chinese tea and sencha.
