Technical details
Round Bamboo Tea Tray, 25cm
This round bamboo serving tray measures 25cm across and is designed to hold your teapot, cups, and accessories neatly in one place. Made from natural bamboo, it works as a display tray, a serving plate, or a simple catch-all for your tea setup. Lightweight and easy to move, it suits everyday use on a counter, table, or tray shelf. Hand wash recommended to preserve the bamboo. Not intended for direct contact with large amounts of standing water.
The Benefit
Your Tea Corner, Finally Pulled Together
You know that little cluster of teapots, cups, and loose-leaf tins that somehow takes over the counter? This bamboo tea tray gives it all a home. Everything in one round, calm spot. It sounds like a small thing, honey, but believe me, starting your morning with a tidy, intentional tea setup changes the whole mood of the ritual. That matters more than people admit.
What It's Made Of
Solid Bamboo, No Fuss, No Frills
Natural bamboo, round, 25 centimeters across. That is what you are getting, and that is plenty. Bamboo is light but sturdy, it does not warp the way cheaper wood can, and it has a warmth to it that plastic trays simply never will. Mind you, it is not precious either. This is a working tray, meant to be used every single day, not admired from a distance.
Picture This
Teapot, Cups, Tray. Done.
Set your teapot right in the center, tuck two cups alongside it, maybe a small dish for your tea strainer. The 25cm round fits a modest setup without crowding it. Well now, carry it to the table, set it down, and suddenly the whole thing looks like you meant it. Because you did. A bamboo serving tray has a way of making even a Tuesday afternoon feel like a proper occasion.
In Real Life
Light Enough to Carry, Sturdy Enough to Trust
Between you and me, the best tray is the one you actually reach for every day. This one is light enough to lift with one hand, even with a full teapot on it, and the round shape means no awkward corners catching on cabinet doors. Hand wash it, dry it, put it back. That is the whole routine. No fiddling, no second-guessing. Just a good, honest bamboo tray doing its job.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
What size is this bamboo tea tray?
It is 25 centimeters in diameter, so a round tray about 10 inches across. That fits a small to medium teapot and a couple of cups comfortably. It is not meant for a large gongfu spread, but for an everyday tea setup it is just right.
Can I use this tray with a draining grate or water reservoir?
Hold on now, this is a solid bamboo serving tray, not a gongfu drainage tray. There is no built-in grate or water reservoir. It is designed for dry serving use, displaying your teapot and cups, not for pouring water over leaves directly on the tray.
How do I clean and care for this bamboo tray?
Hand washing is recommended. Wipe it down with a damp cloth or rinse it gently, then dry it right away. Do not soak it or leave standing water on it for long, as that can affect the bamboo over time. Simple care, and it will last you well.
Is this tray only for tea, or can I use it for other things?
It is called a tea tray, but bamboo does not know the difference. Use it as a small serving plate, a breakfast tray, a catch-all for candles and small objects on a side table. It is a round bamboo tray, and it works wherever you need one.
Is this tray sturdy enough to carry a full teapot?
Yes, bamboo is naturally strong for its weight. A teapot and a couple of cups are no trouble at all. Just keep in mind it is 25cm across, so do not overload it with a full tea service for six. For a cozy one or two person setup, it is perfectly solid.

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.
