Handwoven Bamboo Tea Coaster — Carbonized Nan Bamboo

Handwoven Bamboo Tea Coaster — Carbonized Nan Bamboo

The quiet piece your tea table is missing

A coaster sounds simple — until you set this one down next to a mass-produced one. The carbonized finish deepens the bamboo's natural grain into something closer to stone than wood. Each ring is woven by hand, meaning no two sit exactly the same way.

Under a gaiwan, under a kyusu, under your morning cup — it holds heat, absorbs moisture, and ages darker with use. The kind of small object that makes a ritual feel complete.

Details

  • Material: Carbonized nan bamboo (楠竹)
  • Craft: Hand-woven, heat-treated finish
  • Diameter: ~10 cm
  • Weight: ~0.2 kg
  • Color: Deep amber-brown (darkens with use)

Care

  • Wipe with damp cloth, air dry
  • Avoid prolonged soaking
  • Color deepens naturally over time — that's the point

Handwoven in small batches. Each piece varies slightly.

Small thing. Does its job. Looks better than it needs to. That's kind of the whole point of Daily Ritual.

The Maker

Anji bamboo workshop, Zhejiang. The same family that makes the tea tool holder makes these coasters from the offcuts — nothing wasted.

The Place

Anji, Zhejiang. Moso bamboo grows a meter a day here. By the time you read this, the bamboo that became your coaster has already been replaced in the forest.

The Craft

Carbonized moso bamboo — heated until the sugars caramelize, turning the surface that warm amber and making it naturally water-resistant. Felt backing, cut to size, applied by hand. One piece of bamboo, one piece of felt. That's it.

At Home

Under a cup. Under a candle. Under a plant. Under anything that leaves a ring. Buy four and put them under four things. Done.
