What is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is the iconic traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel dating back to the Song Dynasty, composed of three core parts: the lid, bowl, and saucer. In traditional Chinese culture, these three parts represent “Heaven, Mankind, and Earth” (the “Three Talents”), embodying the harmonious philosophy at the heart of Chinese tea culture.
This three-part design makes gaiwan brewing incredibly versatile: it works for steeping any type of tea from delicate green teas and oolongs to robust black teas, letting you fully experience the aroma and flavor of your leaves, while the lid lets you easily strain leaves and skim foam during pouring.
