{"product_id":"thick-cotton-tea-towel","title":"Embroidered Two Sided Tea Ceremony Cloth, 29 x 17 cm","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWater pools on the tray, you press the cloth down once, and the slats come up dry.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kettle has been round twice, the cups have been rinsed, and the slatted tray is holding a shallow film of water it will not drain fast enough. You reach for the small grey cloth at the corner of the table, press the plush side flat against the wood, drag it once, and the tray is dry. Then you turn the cloth over and use the flat napped face to wipe the outside of each cup before it goes back on the wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a deliberately small piece, 29.2 by 17 cm, sized for a tray rather than a sink, and it weighs 25 g. One face is a matt napped surface that catches the last smear of water, the reverse opens into a deeper pile that holds a spill instead of spreading it, and a black overlocked edge binds the whole rectangle. A single motif is embroidered at one end: either a circular wave roundel, the traditional Chinese cloud and wave device, or a framed panel of bamboo stalks and leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo faces, two jobs\u003c\/strong\u003e The plush pile side lifts standing water off a tray, the flat napped side wipes cups and pots without leaving fibres behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTray sized on purpose\u003c\/strong\u003e At 29.2 by 17 cm it folds into a quarter and sits at the corner of a tea board without covering it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBound edge\u003c\/strong\u003e A black overlocked border runs the full perimeter, which is the seam that usually goes first on a small cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour versions\u003c\/strong\u003e Wave roundel or bamboo panel, each on light gray and on dark gray, so a pair reads as a set on the table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight to keep and carry\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 g means it dries fast on a hook and travels flat inside a tea set case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e gongfu tea trays and tea boards, coffee stations where a cloth stays out all day, and anyone who wants something smaller and better looking than a kitchen towel next to the cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA kitchen towel is the wrong tool on a tea tray. It is too big to fold neatly beside the pot, its loops snag on unglazed clay, and it goes from dry to sodden after one spill. This cloth solves the problem by splitting the work across two surfaces on the same 29 cm rectangle: the deep pile face takes the volume, and the flat napped face takes the film. Because the whole thing is small and light, it is quick to rinse and quick to dry, which matters when it is used ten times in one sitting rather than once a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.2 by 17 cm; 25 g per piece; napped face and plush pile reverse; black overlocked edge; embroidered wave roundel or bamboo panel; light gray or dark gray; the maker lists the fibre as pure cotton; packing list is one cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep it folded in four at the front right corner of the tray. Between infusions it takes the drips from the spout, and at the end of the session one pass on the pile side clears the board so the wood can dry properly rather than sitting wet under a tea set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAway from the tea board it does the same job at a coffee station: under the portafilter, across the drip tray, over the rim of a cup before it goes to the table. The size is what makes it work there too, because it folds small enough to sit next to the machine rather than hanging off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse it in clean water after each session and hang it to dry. Wash it separately for the first few washes so the dark grey does not shade anything light, and keep it away from bleach, which will take the embroidery down with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it exactly?\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.2 by 17 cm, which is roughly the size of a paperback. It is a tea tray cloth, not a kitchen towel, so do not expect it to dry a stack of plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is it made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The maker lists the fibre as pure cotton and gives 25 g per piece. What we can see for ourselves is the construction: a napped face on one side, a plush pile on the other, bound in black. We are passing on the maker's fibre listing rather than confirming it ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the round motif?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is the wave roundel, a traditional Chinese cloud and wave device used as a decorative mark. The other option is a framed bamboo panel. Both are embroidered, one to a cloth, at a single corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I get more than one?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The packing list reads one cloth, and each option is one motif in one shade. Order two if you want a matching pair on the tray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; min-width: 480px; width: 100%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; text-align: left;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e29.2 x 17 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e25 g per piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eNapped face on one side, plush pile on the reverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eFibre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eListed as pure cotton by the maker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eEdge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eBlack overlocked binding on all four sides\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eMotifs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eEmbroidered wave roundel or framed bamboo panel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eShades\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eLight gray or dark gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eOne cloth per order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003eRinse after use, hang to dry, no bleach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moko Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Xiangyun absorbent tea toweldark gray \/ Standard","offer_id":43038876336222,"sku":"SU00366931-Xiangyun absorbent tea toweldark gray-Standard","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Xiangyun absorbent tea towellight gray \/ Standard","offer_id":43038876368990,"sku":"SU00366931-Xiangyun absorbent tea towellight gray-Standard","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bamboo absorbent tea toweldark gray \/ Standard","offer_id":43038876401758,"sku":"SU00366931-Bamboo absorbent tea toweldark gray-Standard","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bamboo absorbent tea towellight gray \/ Standard","offer_id":43038876434526,"sku":"SU00366931-Bamboo absorbent tea towellight gray-Standard","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/7031\/2286\/files\/09c02aca-43ac-469d-875b-b2bfc9640593.jpg?v=1784672845","url":"https:\/\/www.moko.boutique\/fr\/products\/thick-cotton-tea-towel","provider":"Moko Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
