What is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan (meaning ‘lidded bowl’ in Chinese) is a classic 1,000-year-old traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel. It consists of three core parts: a base saucer, a brewing bowl, and a lid. This iconic design lets you control tea steeping time precisely, watch the tea leaves unfurl, and pour smooth, clean tea every time — making it a favorite for both new tea drinkers and master tea artisans.
