Know before you buy
The 40 ml volume is specifically calibrated for Gongfucha, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony method that uses small vessels to focus on the nuanced flavor profiles of high-quality loose-leaf teas. This size allows for multiple short infusions, ensuring the tea does not over-steep.
No, this porcelain bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand-washing it with warm water and mild soap to preserve the integrity of the material and the traditional blue and white pattern.
This bowl is designed without a handle or insulation, consistent with traditional Gongfucha teaware. Because it is made of porcelain, it will conduct heat, so it is best held by the rim or the base once the tea has cooled slightly.
The pattern is known as 青花瓷 (Qinghua), a classic style of Chinese porcelain. It is a traditional aesthetic choice that honors the historical roots of tea culture and adds a refined, timeless look to your tea setup.
Yes, the bowl is crafted from durable porcelain, making it well-suited for regular tea sessions. While it is a delicate piece, its construction is robust enough to handle the heat and handling required for frequent Gongfucha practice.
