What Is A Gaiwan Tea Set?
A gaiwan (or lidded bowl, also called “sancaiwan” in Chinese culture) is the traditional vessel for brewing Chinese tea dating back to the 17th century. This complete Ru Kiln gaiwan tea set includes every tool you need for a full traditional gongfu cha (tea art) experience, no extra pieces required.
The traditional three-part gaiwan design features a lid for heaven, a bowl for humanity, and a saucer for earth — embodying the ancient Chinese philosophy of harmony between nature and people, bringing peaceful energy to your daily tea routine.
