About The Grand Tavă de Ceai

Textul Cărții: The Grand este o tavă de ceai concepută pentru prepararea tradițională a ceaiului chinezesc. Corpul principal este realizat din piatră neagră, cu o incrustație de piatră de lux amplasată conform secțiunii de aur. Suprafața tăvii este modelată sub forma unei structuri geometrice în trepte, cu o gradație între nivelurile înalte și joase. Apa curge din zona mai înaltă, unde este așezat ceainicul, către zona mai joasă, unde sunt plasate ceștile, apoi este evacuată printr-un orificiu ascuns. Piatra este prelucrată prin frezare CNC, completată de lucru manual suplimentar, iar suprafața este lustruită.
