With the development of tea culture, countless tools have been created for the tea table. The six most important ones are grouped as \u8336\u9053\u516d\u541b\u5b50 (ch\u00e1 d\u00e0o li\u00f9 j\u016bn z\u01d0) \u2014 the Six Gentlemen of tea culture. This is just one version of the \u201cgentlemen,\u201d so be aware that multiple names exist for each tool, sometimes even contradictory. Other versions might include different tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u7b52 ch\u00e1 tong<\/em> - tea caddy -<\/strong> This is not a caddy for tea leaves but for the other tools. The funnel is stacked on top of the caddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u6f0f ch\u00e1 l\u00f2u \u2013 tea funnel \u2013<\/strong> Sometimes, the opening of a teapot is so small that it can be difficult to transfer all the leaves inside. The funnel is placed on top of the opening to guide the tea leaves into the pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u5319 cha chi<\/em> \u2013 tea spoon \u2013 <\/strong>This tool\u2019s name is often used interchangeably with the tea funnel. Its shape doesn\u2019t really resemble a spoon \u2014 I think it looks more like a slightly wavy popsicle stick. It is used to transfer tea leaves from the display tray into the teapot or gaiwan. Another name for it is \u8336\u62e8 ch\u00e1 b\u014d, which I find more accurate. \u62e8 b\u014d means to push something with a stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u9488 ch\u00e1 zhen<\/em> \u2013 tea needle \u2013<\/strong> This is not a pu'er knife, but a pointy pick with a flat, rounded end on the other side. The pointy end is used to unclog the spout of the teapot, especially for teapots without a built-in filter. The rounded end can scoop out used tea leaves from inside the teapot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u5219 cha ze<\/em> \u2013 tea scoop \u2013<\/strong> The scoop is used to retrieve tea leaves from its container. To add to the nomenclature jungle, \u8336\u5219 ch\u00e1 z\u00e9 can also refer to a larger scoop or rounded tray made from bamboo, metal, jade, or other materials that doubles as a tea display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u8336\u5939 cha jia<\/em> \u2013 tea tongs \u2013<\/strong> The tongs are used to grab the rim of small teacups to transfer them, especially during the rinsing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
