My New Tea Station with Gourmet Basics by Mikasa
My tea collection has gotten a bit out of hand. It has long ago outgrown my previous little tea station stand. So I was thrilled when Mikasa reached out about trying their Gourmet Basics by Mikasa 2-Tier Mango Wood Hex Tray in my kitchen. This decorative tray is a great size for any kitchen counter and has so much usable space for storage and decoration. It makes for the perfect little tea and coffee station right in your own home!

Details of the Gourmet Basics by Mikasa Mango Wood Tray
Featuring a gray-brown mango wood with stainless steal accents, this gray serving tray is approximately 16 inches by 16 inches wide, and just under 16 inches tall. It comes disassembled, but is super easy to put together. It’s pretty lightweight, but you don’t have to worry about tipping it over easily, either. The mango wood is especially durable, too, designed for long-lasting use and appearance.
The tray itself is easy to clean with a damp cloth, so you don’t have to worry about avoiding spills too much. The hexagonal shape offers a nice, balanced look which worked especially well with the rectangular tile of our apartment kitchen counter.
How Much the Hexagon Tray Holds
While my measurement here is not especially precise, it is notable that the tray holds a large number of small to medium size mason jars and related tea canisters.
On the base of the tray, I can easily fit 9 smaller jars, as pictured, and still be able to get them out easily.
On the top, I could fit more, but I wanted to save space for my loose leaf strainers and other tea accessories. And, of course, I had to find a spot for my little squirrel, as you’ll see in the photo below.

Love the decorative tray! I am myself a tea person and would like to try this product. Thanks for the review and recommendation
You’re welcome! So glad you liked it!
That hexagon tray is absolutely adorable. We moved to a new place this year and it has a random portion of countertop that is separate from the rest, so we turned it into a tea/coffee station. This would be perfect on it to hold everything both in a practical way but also just to look nice!
Thank you! I’m loving it. I’ve had a small tea station before, but it wasn’t as organized (or cute!) until I got this tray.
