Why do I need a gaiwan? The gaiwan is the most common tea vessel in China. It comprises three pieces: a thin-walled, handle-less cup, a saucer, and a lid. The cup is given a flared lip to hold it without burning one’s fingers.

According to custom, you should brew only the precise quantity of tea that you need to serve you and your guests. Several infusions follow; only freshly brewed tea is dispensed in the cups. This procedure guarantees best results.

Unlike Yixing teapots, the gaiwan does not retain odours. So you can brew different kinds of tea in the same gaiwan.

Usage: steep the leaves in the gaiwan and pour the brewed tea into a second pot for serving. Use a strainer if necessary. Repeat several times, refilling the gaiwan.

These large, white porcelain gaiwans offer the ideal stage for your tea. Their clean, neutral backdrop showcases the subtle color nuances, while their wide, heavy saucers ensure stability and comfort. The lightweight cup and lid pour effortlessly, making them perfect for tea parties, tastings, and solo brewing. The uniform design and bulk discounts make them a great choice for any occasion, and their affordability makes them an excellent entry point for gongfu brewing enthusiasts.
