What is a Gaiwan Tea Cup?
A gaiwan is a classic Chinese lidded brewing vessel that has been used for centuries to prepare tea. This modern glass iteration preserves the traditional three-part design (here: bowl + lid) while adding modern functionality and visual appeal for contemporary tea lovers.
Why Choose This Glass Gaiwan Tea Cup?
- Premium Heat-Resistant Glass: Crafted from food-safe high borosilicate glass, this gaiwan withstands sudden temperature changes and boiling water without cracking, safe for all tea types.
- Clear View of Your Tea: Unlike opaque ceramic or porcelain gaiwans, this transparent glass design lets you watch tea leaves unfurl and change color as they steep, turning brewing into a calming visual ritual.
- Smart Frosted Design: The lower frosted section of the bowl adds non-slip grip for comfortable handling, insulates against heat to prevent burns, and creates a soft, elegant modern aesthetic.
- Ergonomic Lid Knob: The perfectly sized lid knob is easy to grip, letting you adjust the lid opening to control steeping time and strain tea smoothly when pouring.
- Easy to Clean: Glass is non-porous, so it won’t absorb odors or stain like porous materials. Just rinse after use and it stays fresh for your next brew.
Perfect Size for Everyday Use
This 180ml (6.1 fl oz) glass gaiwan measures 9.5cm (3.7 inches) wide by 5.6cm (2.2 inches) tall, the ideal size for 1-2 people to enjoy. It’s large enough to brew a satisfying serving without being too bulky to handle, and prevents over-steeping that ruins tea flavor.
