Bamboo tea tongs — preparation gesture
A pair of tongs derived from Gong Fu Cha practices, designed to handle hot objects with precision and restraint.
Bowls, lids, and cups are handled without direct contact. These tongs are designed for this purpose: maintaining the correct distance between the hand and the heat. They allow for gentle handling.
The gesture
The tongs grasp the rim of a cup, adjust a lid, move a still-warm object. The movement is measured, steady. The bamboo absorbs the pressure, moving with the hand without rigidity.
