In Gongfu-style brewing, the cups, pots, and other serving items are repeatedly rinsed in hot water and tea to ensure that proper temperatures are maintained and that the vessels are sanitary, without diluting the tea. When making tea this way, a pot of tea will be brewed in 4 to 10 rounds. Because Gongfu is a wet process, the tea-draining tray is necessary to keep the process tidy and elegant.
nice bamboo with high quality finish. very practical and fits the hence tea set #1 perfectly. very happy with this tray!
