Technical details
Round Bamboo Tea Tray, 40cm
This large round bamboo serving tray measures 40cm (approximately 15.7 inches) across, making it roomy enough for a full tea setup. It is crafted from natural bamboo, a durable and lightweight material. Designed for serving and displaying tea ware, it works beautifully as a decorative tray or a functional serving plate. Hand wash recommended to preserve the bamboo. Not intended for direct contact with large amounts of standing water over time.
The Benefit
Your Tea Corner Finally Looks the Part
You know that little moment of calm before the first sip? This bamboo tea tray makes it feel even more intentional. Everything has a place, the teapot, the cups, the little dish for your spent leaves, and suddenly your counter stops looking like a jumble and starts looking like somewhere you actually want to sit down. That, dear, is worth something.
Why Bamboo
A Round Bamboo Tray Built to Last
Bamboo is one of those materials I trust, and believe me, I have tried plenty of others. It is naturally sturdy, lighter than wood, and it does not make a fuss. At 40cm across, this round serving tray gives you real room to work with without taking over your whole table. The finish is clean and simple, the kind that goes with every tea set you already own and every one you have not bought yet.
Picture This
Teapot, Cups, Tray: the Full Scene
Sunday morning, hold on now, do not rush. You set your teapot in the center, two cups on either side, maybe a small dish for the honey spoon. The round bamboo tray pulls it all together into something that looks almost too pretty to disturb. Almost. Then you pour, and everything is right where you need it, no scrambling, no drips on the tablecloth, just a proper cup of tea the way it ought to be.
Everyday Proof
The Bamboo Serving Tray That Earns Its Spot
Well now, a tray that only comes out for guests is not much of a tray, is it? This one is wide enough to carry your whole morning setup from the kitchen to the couch in one trip, and light enough that you will actually do it. Between you and me, once it is on your counter it tends to stay there, because it makes everything around it look a little more considered. That is the quiet kind of useful I like best.
FAQ
Your Questions About This Bamboo Tea Tray
How big is this tray exactly? Will it fit my tea set?
The tray is 40cm in diameter, which is roughly 15.7 inches across. That is a generous size, roomy enough for a teapot and several cups together. Mind you, measure your tea set if you are not sure, but most standard sets will sit on it comfortably with room to spare.
Is it really bamboo, or some kind of composite?
It is natural bamboo, honey, not a pressed composite or a bamboo-look plastic. That is what gives it the lightweight feel and the warm, organic look that works so well with ceramic and clay tea ware.
How do I clean it without ruining it?
Hand washing is the way to go. Wipe it down with a damp cloth or give it a gentle rinse, then dry it right away. Do not leave it soaking in water or run it through the dishwasher. Bamboo and standing water are not great friends over time, let me tell you.
Can I use it as a decorative display tray, not just for serving?
Absolutely. The round shape and natural bamboo finish make it lovely as a display surface too, for a tea corner on a sideboard, a small plant arrangement, or a curated shelf moment. It is designed for serving, but it holds its own as a decorative piece as well.
Will it work with both Asian-style and Western tea sets?
It does. The simple, neutral design of this bamboo tray does not lean too far in either direction, so it pairs naturally with a gongfu setup, a classic English teapot, or anything in between. That versatility is honestly one of its best qualities.

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?
