About This Glass Gaiwan
Originating in Qing Dynasty China, the gaiwan (also spelled gaiwan tea cup) is a traditional three-piece brewing vessel designed for pure, controlled tea steeping. This modern clear glass iteration honors the classic design while adding modern practicality and visual appeal, ideal for both new tea drinkers and experienced gongfu tea enthusiasts.
Why Choose a Glass Gaiwan?
Unlike ceramic gaiwans, our clear borosilicate glass construction lets you fully experience the art of tea: watch your leaves unfurl gradually, track the changing color of your brew, and adjust steeping time perfectly to get your ideal flavor strength every time.
Key Features of This Gaiwan Tea Cup
- Premium Heat-Resistant Material: Crafted from food-safe borosilicate glass, it withstands sudden temperature changes (from ice cold to boiling hot) without cracking, safe for direct heat and everyday use.
- Elegant Thoughtful Design: The lid features a subtle traditional floral embossed pattern that adds a touch of Chinese cultural elegance while providing a non-slip grip. The petal-shaped rim and built-in pouring spout deliver smooth, drip-free pouring every time.
- All-In-One Brewing: Combines a brewer and pouring vessel in one compact size, eliminating the need for an extra pitcher. It simplifies your tea set without sacrificing any of the traditional gongfu tea experience.
- Clean & Pure Taste: Non-porous glass doesn’t absorb flavors or odors, so your green tea will never taste like yesterday’s oolong. It’s also easy to clean and stays looking new for years.
