150ml Frosted Glass Gaiwan | Traditional Chinese Tea Brewing Vessel

What is a Gaiwan?

A gaiwan is a classic traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history, consisting of three core parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer (this listing features the lidded gaiwan itself, ideal for direct brewing and pouring). It is the most beloved tool for gongfu cha (Chinese tea ceremony) thanks to its versatility, allowing full control over brew strength and easy observation of tea leaves unfurling.

This 150ml frosted glass gaiwan reimagines the classic gaiwan shape for contemporary tea lovers. Crafted from high-borosilicate glass with a soft frosted finish, it balances the clean beauty of glass with a warm, non-slip grip that fits comfortably in your hand. The muted semi-transparent texture softens light, avoids glare, and adds a subtle touch of minimalist elegance to any tea space.
