Re: Tea Tray hunt!

by Alex » Nov 8th, '10, 03:11

Very nice. I like ebony for tray. I stopped buying ones that use glue on the top section though as the ones I've used in past haven't lasted as long as I'd like. Glue and hot water for a long period of time arent a good combo :lol:

Hope you have better luck then me. 8)

Impressive and solidly built tea-tray. 8) Is it made from ebony wood? Where did you buy it?
Yes, indeed it is solid and so far no smell coming out of it when in contact with hot water. As for what type of wood, I don't know. They told me, but I forgot.

I bought the tray and my 2 zhuni teapot at Tacha, it is located on the row behind Tea-Li Kepong. They only sell their own brand teapots and puerh which are single estate puerh. Quite premium priced too ranging from <RM100 to >RM600 for 1 beeng. I've tasted 3 of their raw, and it is quite nice and refreshing. It has Hojo's puerh taste profile.
Thanks! I am familiar with Tacha teashop. This shop used to sell artisan teapots but has since switched to selling its own brand of teapots. I'll view their range of tea-trays the next time I drop by to Kepong.
They don't have much tea-trays. I think only about 6 types of trays on display. Nothing fancy.

I like this Topic it's like Window Shopping. Except...
I don't have to get up. Just slowly sip my tea and browse.
Maybe some tea cake with my tea. :D
