Longquan Celadon Ice Crack Cha He Tea Holder, 5 Styles

Longquan Celadon Ice Crack Cha He — Tea Leaf Holder

The cha he — tea holder — is one of the most refined accessories in the gongfu tea ceremony. Before brewing begins, it presents dry tea leaves to guests for appreciation: their color, shape, and fragrance savored before a single drop of water is poured. This Longquan celadon version, finished in a luminous ice crack glaze, transforms a functional ritual object into a quiet work of art.

How to Use a Cha He

1. Scoop dry tea leaves from the caddy into the cha he.
2. Present to guests — avoid touching the inner gap to maintain hygiene.
3. Hold with the left thumb and four fingers cradling the body; right hand supports the base.
4. After appreciation, transfer leaves into the teapot or gaiwan to begin brewing. The cha he can also be used to gently break apart compressed tea leaves.
