Tea Tools Set — The Six Gentlemen, Natural Moso Bamboo

Six Small Jobs, One Name
Every gongfu table quietly needs six tools, and China gave them a name worth keeping: the Six Gentlemen (liu junzi). Scoop, needle, tongs, funnel, shovel, and the tube they live in — each does one small job, and together they keep the ritual clean and unhurried.

Why Bamboo
Bamboo is light, water-resistant, and neutral — it will not scratch your pot's glaze the way metal tools can. It is also the traditional material: these tools have been made the same way for two hundred years.
How to Use
Use the funnel every time you fill the pot, tongs every time you warm cups, needle the moment a pour slows. The rest is preference — most people end up using three of the six daily and keeping the set for guests.
Care
Rinse, wipe, and air-dry. Do not soak bamboo. Keep out of standing water on the tray.
A Gift That Reads Well — Packed in a box, priced low, and instantly understood by anyone who owns a teapot — this is the easiest add-on to any tea order.
