What Is A Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is a classic traditional Chinese three-piece tea brewing set, consisting of a lid, a bowl, and a saucer. For hundreds of years, it has been the go-to tool for Chinese tea lovers to brew, steep, and enjoy tea, thanks to its perfect design that lets you control steeping time easily and enjoy the full aroma and flavor of your leaves.
