Description

This rosewood tea knife is made for the quiet, deliberate ritual of preparing compressed tea. Its slim blade is shaped to slide carefully into tea cakes and bricks, helping separate the leaves without excessive force or unnecessary breakage.

The rosewood handle has a natural grain and warm reddish tone, giving each piece subtle variation. Comfortable in the hand and compact enough to sit beside a tea tray, it is both a practical tool and an elegant addition to a gongfu tea setup.

How to Use

Insert the blade gently into the edge or natural layers of the compressed tea, then ease the leaves apart with a small lifting motion. Avoid forcing the blade directly downward, as this may damage the leaves or the tool.

Care Advice

Wipe clean after use and dry thoroughly before storage. Do not soak in water or place in a dishwasher. As with all sharp tea tools, store safely when not in use.

Perfect For

Pu'er drinkers, hei cha collectors, gongfu tea sessions, tea cake storage setups and thoughtful gifting for anyone who enjoys the ritual of compressed tea.
