What Is a Gaiwan Tea Cup?
A gaiwan is a classic three-piece lidded tea brewing vessel dating back centuries in East Asian tea culture. Consisting of a bowl, lid, and saucer, it is the preferred tool for gongfu style tea preparation, letting you control steeping time, observe your tea, and enjoy pure, full-flavored brews.
