Plant-dyed Indigo Tea Cloth 

100% handmade, plant-dyed indigo tea cloth made using traditional methods by our friend 燕子 Yàn Zǐ(Little Swallow) and her grandmother from the 水 Shui (Water) People region in Guizhou.

These square tea cloths can be used as a soft mat for your tea ritual, a safety blanket for wrapping your Flask or other teaware, or a tasteful, skin-friendly handkerchief for everyday use. You can also frame or sew it onto cushions for your home or as a thoughtful gift.

Handmade processes include:

Beyond-organic, hand-woven cotton using ancient methods.

Drawn with natural wax by the women of the Shui village.

Dyed using local, indigenous plants.

    Indigo tea cloth trio

    After seeing the first indigo tea cloth I had to get the other two! I love lining them up on my table like a runner. They are beautiful companions for white porcelain to raw clay tea ware.
