Technical details
Bamboo tea tray with built-in drainage grid
This rectangular bamboo tea tray doubles as a draining board, thanks to its built-in drainage grid and integrated water tank below. Rinsed cups and teaware drip directly onto the grid, and the water collects underneath, out of sight. Made entirely from bamboo, it is suited for daily use and gongfu-style sessions alike. No separate drip tray needed. If you are looking for a portable bamboo serving tray for on-the-go tea moments, we have that covered too.
The benefit
One bamboo tray, zero soggy counters
Hold on now, let me tell you something. A wet counter after rinsing your cups is nobody's idea of a good time. This bamboo tea tray with drainage grid takes care of that quietly, the water disappears below while your tray stays ready to serve. You get a draining board and a serving tray in one piece, and your tea corner finally looks the way it deserves to.
What it is made of
Solid bamboo, built to handle real tea life
Bamboo is one of those materials Granny has always trusted, mind you. It is sturdy, it handles moisture better than most woods, and it ages gracefully with use. The rectangular shape keeps things orderly on your tray, the built-in grid lets water drain straight through, and the tank below holds it all until you are ready to empty it. Simple, honest construction, nothing fussy about it.
In use
Rinse, drain, serve, repeat
Picture your gongfu session: you rinse a cup, set it on the grid, and the water is already gone before you reach for the next one. Or it is a quiet Tuesday morning, you are brewing your everyday loose leaf, and the tray holds everything in place while you pour. Between you and me, once you have a bamboo draining tray on your counter, going back feels unthinkable.
Why it works daily
The grid that earns its place every single day
Well now, the real test of any teaware is whether it makes your daily ritual easier or just prettier. This one does both. The drainage grid means you are not mopping up after every rinse, and the tank below means no drips on the table during a gongfu session. It works for a casual morning brew just as well as for a proper multi-steeping afternoon. Practical, believe me.
What you receive
Your bamboo tray, ready to pour
You get one rectangular bamboo tea tray with its built-in drainage grid and integrated water tank, ready to use straight out of the box. That is your serving surface and your draining board, all in one piece. And from Granny Lulu, every order ships free across the US, comes with a 30-day return window, and a real person answers if you have a question. No bots, honey, promise.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
Can I use this tray for both everyday tea and gongfu sessions?
Absolutely, dear. This bamboo tea tray is designed for daily service and gongfu use alike. Whether you are rinsing a single mug on a Tuesday morning or running a full gongfu session with multiple steepings and cup rinses, the drainage grid and water tank handle it all without complaint.
How does the drainage actually work?
The tray has a built-in grid on the surface. When you rinse cups or teaware, the water drips straight through the grid and collects in an integrated tank below the tray. You empty the tank when it is full. No separate drip tray, no puddles on your counter, no fuss.
Is the tray only for serving, or can I drain wet cups on it too?
Both, and that is exactly the point. This bamboo tray works as a serving tray and a draining board in one piece. You can set rinsed cups directly on the grid to drip dry, then use the same surface to serve your tea. Two jobs, one tray, one price.
What is the tray made of, and is bamboo a good choice for teaware?
The tray is made entirely from bamboo, which handles moisture well and holds up to daily use around hot cups and water. It is a practical, natural material that has been used in tea culture for a long time. Mind you, bamboo does need to stay reasonably dry between uses to last well.
What does Granny Lulu's shipping and return policy look like for this tray?
Free shipping across the US, a 30-day return window, and a real person reading your emails. That is the Granny Lulu deal on every order, this tray included. No fine print to squint at, no automated runaround if something goes sideways.

With over 60 years of experience in the world of tea, we are happy to share our expertise with you.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
