What is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is a traditional three-piece lidded tea brewing vessel that has been a core part of East Asian tea culture for centuries. With a bowl, lid, and saucer, this design lets you control brewing strength easily, strain leaves, and serve tea directly — it is the most versatile tool for authentic gongfu tea practice.
