Frequently Asked Questions
How should I care for the handmade vintage cloth to preserve its natural color?

Can this runner be used for both wet and dry brewing tea ceremonies?
This product is specifically designed for dry-brew tea ceremonies to highlight its vintage texture and preserve the integrity of the plant-based dye. While the 100% pure cotton material is naturally absorbent, it is best suited for minimalist setups where water spills are kept to a minimum.
