What Is a Gaiwan Tea Set?
The gaiwan (pronounced guy-wahn, meaning ‘lidded bowl’) is a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel dating back over 1,000 years to the Song Dynasty. Consisting of three core parts – a bowl, lid, and saucer – it is the most beloved tool for gongfu style tea preparation, prized for its versatility, simplicity, and ability to bring out the full flavor of any tea.
