What is a Gaiwan Tea Cup?
The gaiwan (or covered bowl) is a core traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history. Used across almost every school of Chinese tea culture, this three-part vessel (bowl, lid, saucer) lets you control brewing time, observe tea leaves unfurl, and appreciate the full aroma of your favorite leaves – perfect for both new tea drinkers and experienced connoisseurs.
