Handmade 80ml Ceramic Chawan Tea Bowl | Authentic Gongfu Tasting Cup

Discover the Timeless Tradition of Authentic Chinese Chawan Tea Bowls

For thousands of years, the Gongfu tea ceremony has been the heart of Chinese tea culture, inviting us to slow down and fully savor every nuance of our favorite brew. This hand-thrown 80ml ceramic chawan (Chinese tea bowl) carries on this beautiful tradition, purpose-built to help you appreciate the aroma, golden color, and complex layers of flavor in everything from light green tea and fragrant oolong to rich aged pu’er.

What Makes This Handmade Chawan Tea Bowl Special

Authentic Handcrafted Craft & Premium Ceramic Material

Each chawan tea bowl is individually thrown by skilled artisans from high-quality natural ceramic. This traditional material delivers excellent heat retention to keep your tea at the perfect temperature during tasting, and natural chemical stability that never alters the pure, original flavor of your brew. The dense, smooth body is easy to clean and durable enough for years of daily use.

Perfect Traditional Size for Gongfu Tea Tasting

Measuring 8.4cm (3.3 inch) in diameter × 5.3cm (2.1 inch) in height with an 80ml (2.7oz) capacity, this chawan follows the classic Gongfu tea custom of small-batch, repeated sipping. This compact size lets you fully focus on the changing flavor of each infusion, rather than overwhelming your palate with a large serving, making it the ideal tasting cup for any tea lover.

Thoughtful Functional Design Details

• Wide, rounded rim for easy pouring from a gaiwan or teapot, and comfortable, smooth sipping
• Raised small base adds stability on any tea table, reduces heat transfer, and prevents burns when holding your cup
• Balanced weight that feels natural and comfortable in your hand – never too heavy or flimsy

Three Unique Chawan Styles to Match Your Aesthetic

We offer three distinct finishes to suit your tea space and personal taste:

• Style A (Light Green): Soft muted light green with a glossy smooth glaze, perfect for lovers of calm, minimalist, and fresh aesthetics
• Style B (Matte Black): Deep solid black with a fine matte texture, understated, sophisticated, and ideal for modern or traditional tea spaces
• Style C (Textured Retro Green): Rich vintage green with naturally uneven glaze textures, a one-of-a-kind piece that adds organic artistry to your chawan collection

Cultural Meaning & Who This Chawan Tea Bowl Is For

In Chinese tea culture, a well-made chawan tea bowl is more than just a cup to hold tea – it is a tool for mindfulness, a reflection of your appreciation for tradition, and a piece of functional art to be treasured for years. This handmade chawan is perfect for:

• Tea lovers who practice Gongfu tea ceremony and want an authentic, high-quality tasting cup
• Collectors of handcrafted Chinese ceramic tea ware looking to expand their collection
• Anyone who values intentional, slow living and wants to elevate their daily tea ritual
• Thoughtful gifts for tea-loving friends, family, or mentors for birthdays, housewarmings, holidays, or Lunar New Year

Use & Care Instructions

Wash gently with warm soap and water before first use. This chawan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the glaze finish over time. Pair this chawan tea bowl with your favorite Gongfu tea setup (gaiwan, Yixing teapot, or other traditional tea vessels) for a complete authentic tasting experience.
