This set of images presents a traditional tea accessory used in the Gongfu tea ceremony, specifically a pair of copper chopsticks designed for handling charcoal.
The chopsticks are crafted from high-quality copper, a material chosen for its excellent heat conduction properties and durability. Measuring 23.5 cm in length, they offer a safe distance to manage the charcoal without risking burns. The chopsticks are finely made with attention to detail, as indicated by the decorative end, which adds an aesthetic touch to their functionality.
In the Gongfu tea ceremony, charcoal is often used to heat the water. These copper chopsticks are specifically designed for picking up and manipulating pieces of Longan charcoal, which is preferred for its long burn time and consistent heat output. The charcoal pieces, as shown, are typically small and pillow-shaped, making them ideal for precise temperature control.
By using these copper chopsticks, practitioners can safely place the charcoal in a brazier or stove to heat the water for brewing tea, enhancing the ritualistic and sensory experience of the Gongfu tea ceremony. The chopsticks, along with the charcoal, represent an integral part of the traditional Chinese tea culture, where the preparation of the tea is as important as its consumption.
