TE021 - Bamboo tea lit holder

Product detailed description

Overview
The tea lit holder (known as gaizhi 盖置) is a traditional tool that has been used for centuries to hold the upper lit of your teaware. The tea lit holder became especially popular during the Tang dynasty (618-907) and was made from various materials such as bamboo, metal, resin, clay 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. The tea lit holder is made from one piece of crafted bamboo. The tea lit holder is most commonly used during tea ceremonies to better organize your teaware. Each piece is unique.
