Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I pour excess tea water directly onto the tray?
While the sealed bamboo is fully water-resistant against standard brewing drips and cup rinses, excess liquid should be wiped down periodically to maintain optimal wood grain luster.
Q: How fast is shipping?
Orders are dispatched within 24-48 hours and delivered within 7 to 14 business days via insured express shipping with door-to-door tracking.
