焙炉ほいろ

noun

tea leaf drying/heating table; drier; toaster

A traditional device used in Japanese tea processing to dry and heat tea leaves, often a heated table or pan. The glosses 'drier' and 'toaster' are rough equivalents; the term is domain-specific to tea production.

• 茶ちゃ農のう家かでは、摘つんだ茶ちゃ葉ばを焙炉ほいろで乾かん燥そうさせる。
