White Porcelain Gaiwan

Description

Gaiwan is the traditional Chinese tea brewer. Using a gaiwan, you can create your favorite tea flavor by controlling the amount of leaves and time of brewing. Many experienced tea drinkers love to brew with gaiwan.

This three-piece white porcelain gaiwan is durable and has a pleasant shine, perfect for showing off the color of the tea inside. Porcelain is an ideal material for enjoying the tea’s aroma, as it carries the scent better than glass.

Gaiwans first appeared during the Tang dynasty in 780-783 in Sichuan, Chengdu Province, China, where tea lovers would both brew and drink the tea from the gaiwan.

If you are new to brewing tea in a gaiwan, try a few practice pours using cold water so you don’t burn your fingers.
