Hopefully the collective tea knowledge of TeaChat will help me out with this dilemma.
I'm looking for a tea try, preferably something small/portable, inexpensive, and perhaps can have "tubing" so it can drain to a larger container. I'm basically looking for a tea try to use for my college dorm.
Also, I'm a little curious about really "tricked out" tea trays. I remember when I traveled around China and Taiwan I saw some really sweet looking tea trays that were more like tea tables, with carved dragons and mini mountains. Has anyone seen where to buy these kinds of "pimped out" tea trays/tables?

Any search for tea trays should begin here:

I thought I had seen all the internet had to offer as far as tea tables go, but Lewis' article proved me very wrong.
As far as those hardwood/sculpted tea tables go, I'm not sure. I seem to remember one or some of the ebay stores had tabletop versions of those, though.

I asked Scott at YSLLC which of his trays are the best quality with fewest complaints. While he said all are good, he says these four are the best, with no complaints so far.

I think I may end up getting the second one. Inexpensive and can use it as a dump tray or a drain tube tray. I like the low key design, too.
