Natural Loofah Fiber Cushion Pad

Natural Loofah Fiber Cushion Pad

A Soft Buffer Between Your Teapot and Tea Tray

Tea ware is often damaged not during brewing,
but at the moment it is placed down.

This loofah fiber pad is designed to soften that contact—
a simple layer that absorbs impact and protects your teapot or gaiwan.

What It’s Used For

This is a cushion pad placed between:

• A teapot and its tray

• A gaiwan and its tray

It helps reduce direct hard contact, minimizes minor impact,
and makes placement feel quieter and more stable.

Size & Construction

• Diameter: 8 cm

• Double-layer structure

• Bound and secured with cotton thread

The two-layer design provides better shock absorption.
Cotton thread is used instead of glue or chemical adhesives.

Simple construction, clear purpose:
to cushion, not to decorate.

100% Natural Loofah Fiber

This pad is made from natural loofah sponge,
harvested from the inner fibrous core of mature loofah gourds.

The loofah fibers are removed, pressed, and shaped into the pad.

• No chemical coating

• No artificial coloring

• No synthetic materials

Safe for use with teaware and suitable for daily tea practice.

Natural Characteristics (What to Expect)

Loofah is a plant-based material, and it behaves like one:

• Highly absorbent: it will absorb water and small amounts of tea

• Color change over time: with continued use, the pad will gradually turn a deeper brown

• Scent evolution:

  • When new, there may be a faint earthy or plant smell

  • This naturally disappears after a few uses

  • Over time, it may absorb a light tea aroma

These changes are not defects—
they are natural signs of use.

Why It Works Well for Tea Ware

• Soft texture reduces hard impact

• Fibrous structure provides natural cushioning

• Gentle on glazed ceramics and unglazed Yixing clay

• Becomes more familiar and comfortable with continued use

It doesn’t make your teapot more valuable—
it simply helps protect it during everyday use.

Who It’s For

• People who actually use their tea ware, not just display it

• Those concerned about long-term wear between tray and vessel

• Anyone comfortable with natural materials that change over time

If you expect something that stays perfectly clean and white forever,
this may not be for you.

But if you appreciate tea tools that age naturally alongside your practice,
this loofah fiber pad is a practical and honest choice.
