Pu-erh Tea Knife Spear Rosewood

An awl or puer knife is an indispensable accessory for working with pressed tea. The tool is designed to delicately "stratify" tea pancakes, bricks and toches, allowing easy penetration into the dense structure without destroying the leaves. Unlike ordinary knives, the awl minimizes the formation of tea dust and preserves the integrity of the raw materials, which directly affects the taste and aroma of the finished drink. It is especially useful when working with hard puer, which is difficult to separate with your hands. It is widely used in the Chinese tea ceremony Gongfu Cha as an important element of tea culture, emphasizing attention to detail and respect for traditions.
