Know before you buy
A gaiwan is the traditional vessel for Gongfucha brewing, allowing you to control the steep time precisely and appreciate the aroma of the tea leaves. Its open design makes it easy to observe the leaves as they unfurl and to pour the tea quickly between multiple short infusions.
Because the celadon glaze is applied and fired in a way that creates unique, variable patterns, each piece will have its own distinct aesthetic. While the overall form and color tone will match, you should expect slight variations in the glaze texture and finish on your specific piece.
The gaiwan is designed to be held by the rim of the bowl and the saucer. With a little practice, you can easily pour the tea by holding the saucer with your thumb and middle finger while using your index finger to steady the lid, keeping your fingers away from the hot porcelain.
No, a separate filter is not required. You control the flow of the tea by slightly tilting the lid to create a small gap, which acts as a natural strainer to keep the leaves inside the bowl while you pour.
Porcelain is non-porous and easy to clean. Simply rinse it with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry; avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers, as these can dull the finish over time.
