Bamboo Vase Cha Dao Set Tea Utensil 6 Pieces

A Cha Dao utensil set not only contains the most essential tools for a gongfu tea ceremony, but also provides an element of decoration and embellishment: it is both a practical tool for brewing tea as well as an embodiment of tea as an art. Using natural Phyllostachys edulis, Chinese bamboo, as the raw material, TeaVivre’s Cha Dao utensil set is made through traditional craftsmanship, preserving the unique natural texture of the bamboo: the simple shape and appearance link the tea drinkers to nature. After using this set, make sure to dry it well to prevent the growth and spread of mold and bacteria.

Because of the natural properties of bamboo, there may be some nodes, spots, or rough patches on the surfaces of this set.

Material

Phyllostachys edulis, also known in Chinese as Nanzhu (楠竹), is a quality material with a high economic value. It grows mainly in Yingbing City, Sichuan, Hunana, and Fujian province, and is spread throughout the 400-600m hill regions of small mountains. Nanzhu is tough yet flexible, and as such is often used in construction, furniture, and other daily necessities. Tea trays made from Nanzhu are durable and environmentally friendly.
