Discover the Timeless Tradition of Gaiwan Tea Brewing

The gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) has been a core part of Chinese tea culture for over 1,000 years, treasured for its simplicity, versatility, and ability to showcase tea’s true flavor. This compact 120ml gaiwan brings authentic Chinese tea ritual to your daily routine, ideal for single-serve brewing of all tea types from green tea to oolong and black tea.
