This rounded, lidded tea waste container is a refined addition to a modern gong fu cha setup. After warming your vessels or rinsing tea leaves, simply pour the used water into the shallow top basin, where it discreetly drains through the small opening into the reservoir below. It’s equally suited for collecting spent leaves, keeping your tea space tidy and uncluttered.

The gently domed form and integrated lid give it a clean, minimalist look, while the subtle opening can be partially covered with a tea pet to control the flow of liquid, adding both function and charm to your ritual. Finished in a softly glazed porcelain derived from plant ash—created by refining the ash of burned grasses—the surface carries a warm, natural tone while remaining smooth, durable, and easy to clean.
