What Is a Gaiwan Tea Cup?
A gaiwan is the classic 3-piece tea brewing vessel originating from 10th-century China, widely adopted in traditional East Asian tea ceremonies. Composed of a lid, bowl, and saucer, it gives you full control over steeping time, tea strength, and brew temperature to bring out the best flavor from any tea.
Key Features of This Gaiwan Tea Cup
Thoughtful Ergonomic & Stylish Design
This gaiwan features a unique vertical textured exterior that adds natural visual depth and improves grip when handling hot tea. The muted blue-green finish with subtle earthy speckles gives it a rustic, minimalist look that complements both modern and traditional tea spaces. The inner ceramic glaze is clean pale blue, making it easy to observe tea liquor color during steeping.
The lid has a textured raised knob for easy gripping, the bowl rim is slightly flared for smooth pouring, and the matching black-base saucer catches spilled drips, protects your table from heat, and keeps your tea steady.
Premium Durable Ceramic Material
Crafted from high-fired ceramic with a matte semi-porous finish, this gaiwan is heat-resistant, food-safe, and naturally enhances the aroma and flavor of your tea. Unlike smooth glazed porcelain, this textured ceramic holds heat evenly without reacting to tea, for consistent, delicious brews every time.
Ideal 140ml Capacity
This 4.7oz (140ml) gaiwan is perfectly sized for individual daily tasting or small 2-3 person gatherings, making it easy to control tea strength and adjust steeping time to your preference. It measures 3.6 inches wide by 3.7 inches tall (9.2 x 9.4cm), compact enough to store in small spaces or pack for tea trips.
How to Use Your Gaiwan Tea Cup
- Add 2-5 grams of loose leaf tea to the gaiwan bowl
- Pour hot water over the tea, place the lid on top, and steep for your desired time
- Hold the bowl with one hand, use the lid to block tea leaves while pouring into serving cups, or sip directly from the gaiwan

This textured gaiwan fits seamlessly into your daily home routine: enjoy a quiet morning tea at your desk, an afternoon tasting in your living room, or add it to your home tea room collection. It also works beautifully for small casual tea gatherings and tea tasting events.
