The Traditional Gongfu Tea Tray, also known as Cha Pan (茶盘), plays a
significant role in the Chinese Tea Ceremony. It ensures a seamless and
organized tea-making process by collecting any water or tea that may be
spilled during the various stages of washing, steeping, and pouring.
This prevents any mess and allows for a focused and enjoyable tea
ritual.
Crafted with elegance and grace, the tea tray serves its
practical purpose and contributes to the enchanting ambiance of the tea
experience. Its presence evokes a sense of harmony and beauty, bringing
tea enthusiasts closer to the essence and philosophy of tea.
Hand-carved
from pine wood, this state-of-the-art Gongfu tea table embodies the
true spirit of the Gong Fu tea ceremony. The craftsmanship is
meticulous, evident in the elegant design where water and tea gracefully
trickle down the branches and into the trunk, symbolizing the nurturing
and growth of the tea tradition.
Serhiy is a Ukrainian woodwork
master. Ukraine is known for its woodwork craftsmanship, and it is also
where the eastern tea tradition planted its roots in the early 90s and
since grown big and strong. Serhiy pours his passion for Gong Fu Cha and
woodwork craftsmanship into creating these exquisite tea trays.
Many
years ago, in his small garage, captivated by the beauty and philosophy
of Gong Fu Cha, Serhiy began making wooden tea accessories, and his
hobby quickly evolved into a full-fledged occupation. His dedication to
his craft led him to the "International Tea Expo" in South Korea, where
he exchanged knowledge with other tea and woodwork masters from around
the world, continuously refining his skills.
Despite gaining
acclaim as a wood craftsman, Serhiy remains humble and perpetually
devoted to learning and improving his artistry. His deep love for
nature, wood, tea, and beauty is evident in every piece he creates, and
"Tree of Life" stands as a testament to his craftsmanship. We are
honored to present this signature tea tray to tea enthusiasts,
encapsulating the essence of Gong Fu Cha and Serhiy's passion for his
