Dongding was originally from Dongding mountain years ago.
And how long have you had that "distraction" in the middle of your tea tray? :D

Time for the soak & scrub routine perhaps. Cheers

That black stain in the middle looks dirty. Maybe time to clean

Just an attempt at friendly humor. Looks like some crushed tea leaves mashed into the tea tray got dry & hard making an ugly contrast to pretty teapot etc. Wondered why or how? Not important just surprised it does not put you off your tea. Cheers

Ha! I hadn’t even noticed.

A dear friend of mine had me over for tea. His table is revolting by Western standards but the company is great. He once blew a spider out of a teapot and promptly made tea in the spider’s former home. 😅

Hey, it was good too!

I once accidentally boiled a daddy long legs spider in my tetsubin many years ago over the course of a long tea session, and thus inadvertently disproved the urban legend that they are actually the most venomous spiders of all.
