What Is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan (or ‘gai wan’, literally ‘lidded bowl’) is a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel dating back to the 17th century. This classic 3-piece design includes a bowl, lid, and saucer (called the ‘Three Powers’ bowl in Chinese culture, representing heaven, earth, and humanity) – it is the most versatile tool for brewing any style of loose leaf tea, giving you full control over steeping time and tea flavor.
