茶盤與排水
精巧的竹製功夫茶盤，配備一體式排水槽 — 尺寸適合一人或兩人茶席，在靜雅造型與實用流暢之間取得平衡。

這款 30×42 公分的茶盤來自福建武夷山市郊區的一家家族工坊，詹氏家族四代以竹為業。在 2024 年春季的尋源之旅中，我與師傅共度三天，看他挑選四年生的毛竹 — 竹壁厚實、紋理筆直、天生韌性十足。竹子於冬季汁液下降後砍伐，再自然風乾六個月，方始動刀。
茶盤主體為一體式底板，雕刻出微微傾向排水口的坡度；鏤空上蓋採摩擦嵌合，無需膠水，可隨時提起清理。每處邊緣皆手工倒角 — 絕無銳角，不會勾到衣袖或茶巾。漆料選用簡樸的食品級生漆，薄塗三層，每層均以稻殼墊打磨拋光。
Michael 挑選這個尺寸，正是著眼其日常實用性。它能從容擺放一只 150 毫升蓋碗、公道杯及兩只品茗杯，卻可輕鬆收納於淺架上。由於每件茶盤皆為小批量製作，木色紋理與竹條寬度會有些微差異 — 此乃手作痕跡，而非瑕疵。
The leaf, brewed
dry leaf
Pale golden bamboo slats with tight, even grain; faint sweet, grassy scent of fresh‑cut bamboo.
wet leaf
Water beads and flows easily across the lacquered surface; slats remain non‑swelling and snug after dozens of rinses.
liquor
The drainage channel carries spent water cleanly into a hidden reservoir without drips or splashes.
aroma
Neutral — picks up no odour, leaving the tea’s own perfume undisturbed.
taste
The tray feels firm and balanced under the weight of a gaiwan and cups; its low profile keeps the session intimate.
finish
After the session, a quick rinse leaves the surface ready for the next round; the bamboo matures to a honey‑toned patina with age.
Brewing
將茶盤置於平坦表面，把鏤空上蓋放在儲水槽上，並將沖泡器具置於排水格柵上方。每回茶席後清空儲水槽。僅限手洗；避免長時間浸泡。
