TE017 - Bamboo tea tweezers

Product detailed description

Overview
The tea tweezers is a traditional tool that has been used for centuries to manage cleaning and serving tea cups. The renowned use of the six traditional tea tools (known as liujunzi 六君子) can be dated especially to the Song Dynasty (960–1127). In addition to the tea tweezers, a teaspoon, a tea needle, a tea brush, a tea filter, and a protective case were used during the tea ceremony, all of which every tea master always had at hand. These tools were most commonly made from bamboo, metal, or porcelain due to their water-resistant properties. Bamboo, known for its strength and natural resistance to moisture, is an ideal material for working with tea. This tool is indispensable for any tea lover who wants to enjoy a pure infusion while appreciating traditional tea craftsmanship. The bamboo tweezers are made from two pieces of crafted bamboo. It has a well-shaped handle that fits perfectly in the hand. The tea tweezers are most commonly used in combination with porcelain or glass tea cups, especially during the warming up and cleaning of the teaware by hot water.
