What is a Gaiwan?
The gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is a classic Chinese brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history in Chinese tea culture. It consists of three core parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer, designed to brew tea quickly while letting you control strength and flavor easily. This modern glass iteration honors the traditional gaiwan form while adding contemporary style and transparency for a better brewing experience.
