Banana Leaf Sectional Serving Tray
The Banana Leaf Sectional Serving Tray is crafted from the locally-gathered leaves and stalks of banana trees. Artisans use a specially designed, handmade needle to thread dried banana leaves around the banana stalks. The result is a super-sturdy tray that’s great for carrying all kinds of things.
Maker: Azizi Life
Azizi Life’s co-founder uses the square serving tray to carry glasses out to her guests. But her absolute favorite way to use this tray is to serve tea. Boxes of flavored tea fit perfectly in each compartment, as do individual teabag packets. It’s so easy, and a lovely way to share fair trade love with guests.
The serving trays are made by artisans from the Abaharaniriterambere People Fighting for Development Cooperative, who meet on their local school grounds. We invite you to get to know them- Immaculee, the group’s founder, is peeking out over there waiting to share more.
