A tea knife is the purpose-built tool for separating leaves from compressed tea cakes — puerh bricks, tuocha, and aged tea discs — without crushing the leaves or breaking them unevenly. This all-metal model is forged from No. 45 steel, which gives it the stiffness to lever apart a tightly pressed cake without the blade flexing or slipping. At 121 mm overall with a 70 mm blade, it sits comfortably in one hand for controlled prying. The parrot motif is cast into the handle, making this both a functional puerh tool and a display or gift piece. Presented in a leather case inside a high-grade wooden box.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tea knife used for?
A tea knife is used to pry apart compressed tea cakes — puerh bricks, tuocha, and aged tea discs — without crushing the leaves. The rigid blade levers cleanly between layers.
What does No. 45 steel mean for a tea knife?
No. 45 steel (45# carbon steel) is a medium-carbon steel known for its stiffness and durability. For a tea knife, stiffness matters — the blade needs to lever firmly without flexing.
Does it come ready to give as a gift?
Yes — it comes in a leather case housed inside a high-grade wooden box, so no additional gift packaging is needed.
Is shipping included in the price?
For in-stock items — anything you can add to the cart — shipping is included in the listed price. For made-to-order items, delivery is either free (marked on the product page) or calculated when you place your order, based on destination and volume.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items typically arrive within one to three weeks. Made-to-order items take three to six weeks, since we work directly with manufacturers and need time for production and logistics before shipping. Your assigned manager confirms a more precise estimate once your order is placed. Please note we can't be responsible for delays caused by customs clearance in the destination country.
Are import duties and taxes included?
In most cases, yes — we aim to ship Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means duties and import taxes are handled so you don't face extra charges on delivery. In rare cases we may ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where you would settle import charges directly with the carrier — but only when agreed with you in advance.
Do your products come with a warranty?
Yes. Most of our equipment comes with a one-to-two-year manufacturer's warranty covering factory defects and technical faults under normal use; the specific term is stated on each product page. If a defect appears, we arrange a replacement or refund in line with our Exchange & Return Policy, and our team guides you through the claim step by step.
