Know before you buy
A Sancai Gaiwan is a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel consisting of three parts: a lid, a bowl, and a saucer. The name translates to 'three-talent cup,' representing the harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity.
Yes, 125ml (4.23 ounces) is the standard size for a traditional Gongfu tea session. It is designed to hold enough liquid for a concentrated, flavorful infusion that can be poured into smaller tasting cups.
The lid is designed to be held at a slight angle against the rim of the bowl to act as a strainer while you pour. The tapered shape of the cup helps you maintain a steady grip while controlling the flow of the tea.
While the ceramic material is durable, we recommend hand-washing this piece to preserve the integrity of the bamboo motif and the finish. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the patterned surface.
The set includes the three-piece Gaiwan (lid, bowl, and saucer) and is packaged in a gift box. It does not include additional tasting cups or tea tools.
