This tea tray combines a wooden handle with a stone tray, giving it a simple yet unique appearance. The tray has a water retention function, and any leftover tea will flow along the grooves on the edge of the tray into the water collection tray below. The water collection tray is designed as a drawer and can be easily separated from the tea tray by pulling it gently.
The phrase inches海纳百川 inches (hǎi nà bǎi chuān) is carved on the top of the tea tray. This is a Chinese idiom that means inchesthe sea is capable of containing all rivers, inches often used to describe a person who has a broad mind and can accommodate various thoughts and cultures. Placing this idiom on the tea tray is in line with the spiritual core of tea culture. Tea culture emphasizes self-cultivation and socializing with more friends, not rejecting communication with others because of their different values, but rather using the broadness and inclusivity of the ocean to listen to others’ ideas, accept differences between people, and use a cup of good tea to bring people closer together. Therefore, this is not just a tea tray but also a reminder to oneself and a pursuit of a higher spiritual level.
