What is a Gaiwan Tea Set?
A gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is a classic 1,000-year-old Chinese brewing vessel consisting of three parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer. It is cherished by tea lovers worldwide for its versatility: you can steep any type of tea, control infusion strength easily, and even drink directly from the gaiwan itself.
