Looking for a tea tray

by jlheng » Jun 25th, '10, 08:05

Do any of you know any online suppliers that sell round metal tea trays, such as the one shown here: http://www.tentea.com/stainsteelro.html

There is something horrible about a stainless steel tea tray to me. Here in Bangkok, many of the mom and pop tea shops in Chinatown use this kind of tray. It's about as commercial as you can get and has little aesthetic appeal. It's so cold looking and harsh. Gives me the willys just to look at them. :x

I like the look of this one better:

And using a waste cache for leaves so it doesn't get messy.

I like the looks too.
It's the $65.00 price tag that scares me. :mrgreen:

Design is nice. Material still the same, COLD. Not much lovable about stainless. :)

I am hoping that this online vendor does not cross the line at this point. :!:

Ha, I was thinking the same thing, but I didn't see any trays on their website. Those look like pretty generic trays for the chinese market.

Don't know what I'd do without my tea tray...
