Tea Table Help

by le victoria » Jan 3rd, '09, 03:53

I really want to buy a tea table.
Preferably in a deep cherry finish.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
[[This would be my first tea-table, if that even matters.]]

Thanks in advance.

First off, are you looking for an actual table (a coffee table type thing)? Or are you looking for a full sized table with built in drainage for tea brewing? Or are you looking for a tea tray?

You might have a look at this old thread, on a similar topic:

If you're looking for tea TRAYS, I can source some for you out of Taiwan to whatever specifications you need. Contact me through my blog at taiwanteaguy.com, and let me know the details. I'm pretty sure I can save you some money compared to what a lot of sites are charging.

Umm. I think a tea tray is what I'm looking for.
Or what wyardley said, a tea table with built in drainage.

Either or.
Thanks for the links posted already.

A tray is generally about 1-2 feet wide (give or take) and a few inches high. A full table is the size of a large desk - by all accounts it is a [large] piece of furniture.

Personally I want to get a nice second hand coffee table and mount a tray in it. My tray is a large one - approx 2 feet by maybe 18 inches - which gives me plenty of room, even if brewing for several people. It also has a drain tube. So if I can find a decent coffee table, I can cut out a hole of the same dimensions and mount the tray in. Then all I would need is a place to put it :)
