What is a Gaiwan Tea Set?
A gaiwan is a timeless three-piece Chinese tea brewing vessel with a 1000+ year history in traditional Chinese gongfu tea culture. Loved by tea experts and beginners alike for its simplicity and versatility, it gives you full control over steeping time to unlock the complex flavor and aroma of any loose leaf tea.
Why Choose This Lotus Pattern Glass Gaiwan Tea Set?
Premium Heat-Resistant Borosilicate Glass
Crafted from food-safe high-borosilicate glass, this glass gaiwan withstands extreme sudden temperature changes and boiling water without cracking, making it perfectly safe for daily use. Unlike porous ceramic, the non-porous glass surface does not absorb tea flavors or odors, keeping every brew pure and clean. It is also scratch-resistant and incredibly easy to wipe clean after use.
Watch Your Tea Come Alive
Unlike opaque ceramic gaiwans, our transparent glass design lets you fully observe every step of the brewing process. Watch your loose tea leaves slowly unfurl, change color, and release their essence as they steep, turning your daily tea ritual into a calming, visually stunning mindfulness experience. This glass gaiwan is especially perfect for brewing light teas like green tea, white tea, and oolong where observing leaf quality is part of the joy.
Thoughtful Cultural & Functional Design
This 150ml (5 fluid ounce) gaiwan features an elegant hand-carved lotus pattern on its lid. In Chinese culture, the lotus is a beloved symbol of purity, peace, and spiritual enlightenment, adding subtle traditional cultural charm to any tea space.
- The rounded lotus-shaped lid knob is easy to grip, even with wet hands
- The precision-crafted flared rim creates a smooth, drip-free pour with a clean stop, perfect for new gaiwan users
- Compact size fits perfectly in one hand for comfortable, controlled brewing
