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.

A tea knife built for puerh drinkers who take their compressed cakes seriously.

The parrot motif makes it a display piece as well as a working tool — and the leather case and wooden gift box mean it arrives ready to give. If you drink aged puerh, store a collection of tea cakes, or want to give a tea lover a gift worth opening, this is the right knife.

Frequently asked questions
How do the dimensions suit prying a compressed cake?
121 mm overall with a 70 mm blade at 12 mm wide — short enough to control with one hand, long enough to work the blade in along a seam and lever a brick or tuocha apart in flakes rather than crumbs.
Why No. 45 steel rather than a softer blade?
No. 45 steel is a medium-carbon steel, and its stiffness is the point: pressed puerh puts real load on a tea knife, and a blade that flexes slips out of the seam instead of splitting it.
What arrives in the box?
The knife in a leather case, that case inside a high-grade wooden gift box, in the silver finish — the only variant offered. Nothing further is needed to present it as a gift.
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.
