What is a Gaiwan Tea Bowl?
A gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is a classic 1,000-year-old Chinese tea brewing vessel, consisting of three parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer. It is the preferred tool for gongfu cha (Chinese traditional tea ceremony) thanks to its versatility, ease of use, and ability to showcase tea leaves and clear茶汤 perfectly.
Why This Lotus Frosted Glass Gaiwan Stands Out
This modern handcrafted gaiwan tea set reimagines the traditional Chinese lidded bowl with high-quality borosilicate glass and thoughtful nature-inspired design. The frosted embossed lotus and lotus leaf pattern pays homage to Chinese culture, where the lotus symbolizes purity, harmony, and spiritual enlightenment — a perfect meaning for a peaceful tea ritual.
The transparent glass design lets you watch your tea leaves unfurl and change color as they steep, turning your daily brew into a calming, visual experience. The built-in spout lets you pour smoothly without messy drips, and the short base elevates the bowl for comfortable, heat-resistant holding.

- Lotus seed pod lid knob matches the botanical theme for a cohesive, elegant look
- Perfect 160ml (5.4oz) small size for 1-2 people daily brewing or solo tea sessions
