The Cultural Heritage of Gaiwan Tea Sets

Gaiwan (meaning ‘covered bowl’ in Chinese) dates back to China’s Song Dynasty, valued for its versatility: it lets you brew, steep, and serve tea all in one vessel, while the lid lets you easily control tea strength and strain leaves. It works beautifully with every type of tea, from light green teas to bold roasted oolongs.
