Designed for full control over tea steeping time and flavor, this elegant 200ml gaiwan brings authentic Chinese tea culture to your daily routine, with a clean modern aesthetic that fits any home.
Key Features of This Gaiwan Tea Cup
- Premium Materials: Crafted from high-quality kaolin clay porcelain fired at extreme high temperatures for superior durability and heat resistance. The natural solid wood knob stays cool to the touch even when brewing boiling water, making it comfortable and safe to handle.

The included matching saucer protects your table from heat and scratches, and adds a polished, finished look to your tea setup.
