Ebony Wood Cha He Tea Holder — Pipa Style

Ebony Wood Cha He Tea Holder — Pipa Style

Crafted from rich ebony wood, this Pipa-style Cha He (tea holder) is an essential tool for the traditional Chinese tea ceremony. Its elegant hemispherical mouth design allows guests to appreciate the color, shape, and aroma of dry tea leaves before brewing — a ritual central to gongfu cha and sado practice.

How to Use

1. Scoop dry tea leaves from the tea caddy into the Cha He.
2. Present to guests for appreciation — observe color, shape, and fragrance.
3. Gently tilt to guide leaves into the teapot; avoid touching the gap to maintain hygiene.
4. Hold with left thumb and four fingers supporting the body; right hand cradles the base.
