Product Description

Each Xiabu Tea Table Flag is made from premium Wanzai ramie, processed through time-honored traditional procedures. The production starts with selecting fresh ramie stalks, followed by dew-bleaching – a natural method that uses morning dew to ferment and degum the fiber, ensuring the ramie remains pure white, soft, and free from chemical residues. Next, artisans hand-spin the treated ramie into smooth, even yarns, which are then woven into Xiabu fabric on traditional wooden looms. Every thread is carefully arranged, and every weave is precisely controlled, resulting in a fabric with a unique, subtle texture.

The tea table flag is available in three common sizes to fit most tea tables: 30cm×120cm, 35cm×140cm, and 40cm×160cm. It features a minimalist design that highlights the natural beauty of Xiabu fabric – unbleached versions showcase a warm ivory tone, while dyed options use plant-based dyes (such as indigo from Isatis tinctoria and tea extract) to create soft hues of light gray, beige, and muted blue. The edges are reinforced with hand-stitched hems, preventing fraying and ensuring long-term use. Our company, as a professional inheritor of Xiabu Craftsmanship, strictly oversees every production step, from raw material selection to final inspection, to guarantee authenticity and quality.

Product Features

Authentic Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship: Each tea table flag is handwoven by artisans trained in the “Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique”, with no machine substitution in core processes like spinning and weaving. Every piece has a unique artisanal touch, making it more than just a decor item but a cultural artifact.

100% Natural & Eco-Friendly Materials: Crafted from ramie – a renewable, biodegradable natural fiber known as “China Grass”. The entire production process avoids synthetic chemicals, making it safe for humans, the environment, and soil.

Superior Breathability & Moisture Resistance: Ramie fiber has natural micro-pores, allowing air to circulate freely through the Xiabu fabric. It can quickly absorb and evaporate moisture, preventing water stains from lingering on the table surface during tea ceremonies.

Durable & Wear-Resistant: Hand-spun ramie yarns retain the fiber’s natural toughness, and the tight manual weaving ensures the fabric resists tearing and pilling. Even with frequent use and cleaning, the tea table flag maintains its shape and texture for years.

Timeless Aesthetic: The natural texture of Xiabu and subtle color palette complement various interior styles, from minimalist modern to traditional oriental, adding a low-key elegance to any space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is the Xiabu fabric easy to clean?

A1: Yes. We recommend hand washing with mild neutral detergent in cold water (below 30°C) or machine washing on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleaching or using harsh detergents. After washing, hang it in a cool, ventilated place to dry – direct sunlight may cause slight color fading, but it will not affect the fabric’s quality.

Q2: Can the tea table flag fit my small tea table?

A2: We offer three standard sizes (30cm×120cm, 35cm×140cm, 40cm×160cm) that fit most tea tables. For special-sized tables, we provide custom size services – simply contact our customer service with your desired dimensions, and we will create a tailored product for you.

Q3: Will the fabric shrink after washing?

A3: No. The ramie fiber used in our Xiabu fabric undergoes pre-shrinking treatment during production. With proper washing (following the care instructions), the tea table flag will not shrink or deform.

Q4: Is the plant-based dye color stable?

A4: Yes. Our plant-based dyes are processed through a special fixing technique to ensure color stability. While slight fading may occur after the first 1-2 washes (this is normal for natural dyes), the color will remain consistent afterward and develop a unique patina over time.

Q5: Do you provide international shipping?

A5: Yes. We ship to most countries and regions worldwide, including Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Shipping time typically takes 7-15 business days, and a tracking number will be provided for each order to help you monitor the delivery status.
