What Is a Gaiwan Tea Set?
Originating over 1,000 years ago in imperial China, the gaiwan (literally ‘lidded bowl’) is the classic vessel for traditional Chinese gongfu tea brewing. This authentic gaiwan tea set follows the timeless ‘San Cai’ (三才 / Three Talents) design: the lid represents heaven, the bowl represents earth, and the saucer represents humanity. This design embodies the ancient Chinese philosophy of harmony between nature and people, bringing balance and tranquility to every tea session.
