What is a Gaiwan?

A gaiwan is a traditional Chinese lidded tea bowl with a history dating back to the Song Dynasty (960–1279 AD). Designed for steeping and sipping loose-leaf tea, it is beloved by tea enthusiasts for its simplicity and ability to highlight tea’s natural aroma, flavor, and color. Today, this iconic vessel remains a cornerstone of traditional Chinese tea culture.

Our Gaiwan Tea Cup Design & Features

This ceramic gaiwan blends classic tea ware functionality with unique artisanal ceramic work. Crafted from high-fired ceramic with natural crackle (binglie) glaze, each piece boasts one-of-a-kind texture and color variations that make yours truly unique.

Two Versatile Options: Choose from a traditional plain lid design perfect for standard tea brewing, or a dual-use frog-topped lid with ventilation holes that works as both a gaiwan and a small incense burner for aromatherapy
Natural crackle glaze creates a beautiful textured surface that deepens in character with use
High-fired ceramic offers excellent heat retention and resistance to thermal shock
Non-porous glaze won’t absorb tea flavors, ideal for brewing multiple tea varieties

Perfect Use Cases for Your Gaiwan

The 150ml (5.1oz) and 160ml (5.4oz) sizes are perfect for solo daily tea sessions. The traditional design fits seamlessly into any tea collection, while the dual-use frog lid gaiwan adds a charming, playful focal point to your tea table or meditation space.

Beyond tea brewing, this gaiwan also works beautifully as:

A decorative accent for your coffee table, bookshelf, or meditation altar
A small incense holder to create a relaxing, calm atmosphere in your home office or bedroom
