Overview

The small things make all the difference. There are many things which make drinking tea enjoyable. For us it is observing clean, clear liquor before appreciating the scent and taste. A traditional tea strainer is simply not fine enough to remove all fine leaf particles from Chinese tea, and so a Chinese sieve is traditionally used. Tea can be poured through the sieve into a glass jug or cups. The sieves are supplied with the charming palm holder to store the sieve when not in use. The sieve is an integral part of the Gong Fu Tea Ceremony.

Details

The sieve is part of the Gong Fu Tea Ceremony. It is used to ensure that the tea is clear and free of fine particles of tea leaf. This is ideal to use with the Yixing teapot, or a Gaiwan to infuse the tea. To appreciate the fine colour of the liquor, invest in a fairness cup to use alongside your sieve.

The sieve is approximately 6.5cm in diameter, and 2cm deep. The holder is approximately 8 x 5 x 5cm.

The tea board is for photographic purposes only and is not sold with this product. This product is not suitable for dishwashers or microwaves.
