What is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is a classic 1,000-year-old traditional Chinese lidded brewing vessel, the core tool of authentic gongfu cha (kung fu tea) ceremony. This modern glass version honors the traditional gaiwan’s three-part design (lid, bowl) with a contemporary, functional twist for modern tea lovers.
Why Choose This Handcrafted Glass Gaiwan?
