Discover the Timeless Tradition of Gaiwan Tea Brewing
A gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is one of the most iconic traditional Chinese tea brewing vessels, dating back over 1,000 years to the Song Dynasty. This 3-piece set (bowl, lid, saucer) is designed for full control over steeping time, letting you unlock the perfect aroma and flavor from any loose leaf tea.
Why Choose This Handcrafted Gaiwan Tea Set?
- Unique Artisanal Glaze Finish: Each gaiwan features one-of-a-kind blue-green glaze with natural brown organic patterns, created with a traditional kiln transformation (yao bian) technique – no two pieces are exactly alike
- Perfect Versatile Size: 170ml (5.75oz) capacity fits all popular tea types from oolong, green, black to white and pu-erh, ideal for single servings or small group sharing
- Premium Ceramic Construction: High-fired ceramic offers ideal heat retention and gentle breathability to enhance tea flavor, while the smooth glazed surface is easy to clean and resists staining
- Ergonomic Practical Design: The lid lets you easily control steeping speed and strain loose leaves when pouring, and the matching saucer protects your hands from heat and keeps your tea table tidy
