FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
Is this a draining gongfu-style tray or a flat serving tray?
This is a flat wooden serving tray, dear, not a water-draining gongfu tray. It is designed to hold and display your teapot and cups neatly, not to channel away rinse water. If you practice gongfu cha with a lot of water pouring, you will want a different setup for that.
How do I clean and care for this wooden tea tray?
Hand wash only, and do not soak it in water. Wood and long soaks are not friends, believe me. Wipe it down with a damp cloth after use and let it dry fully before storing. Keep it away from the dishwasher entirely to protect the wood over time.
What can I actually fit on this tray?
It is designed to hold a teapot along with cups and small tea accessories. It works well as a dedicated tea station surface. For the exact dimensions, check the product listing details so you can be sure everything you love fits comfortably on it.
Does this tray come with a teapot or cups?
No, the tray comes on its own. What you receive is one wooden tea tray, ready to use. Teapot, cups, and any other accessories are sold separately. Think of it as the stage, and you bring your own cast of tea things.
Will this tray work with my existing tea set, whatever the style?
Well now, the Japanese-inspired wooden design is quite versatile. Its natural wood tone and clean lines sit comfortably alongside most tea sets, whether your style leans traditional, minimalist, or somewhere cozy in between. It is a neutral, warm piece that tends to get along with just about everything.

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?
