Know before you buy
This gaiwan has a capacity of 120ml, which is perfectly sized for individual Gongfu-style tea sessions.
The gaiwan is designed with a traditional flared rim that stays cooler than the body, allowing you to grip the edges comfortably while pouring. However, as it is single-walled ceramic, it will become warm to the touch during use.
Yes, it is highly versatile and works well for green, white, and oolong teas. The ceramic material provides excellent heat retention, which helps in extracting the nuanced flavors of these delicate leaves.
To preserve the finish, hand wash the gaiwan with warm water and a mild detergent. It is not dishwasher or microwave safe, as the high heat and mechanical agitation can damage the delicate crystallized glaze over time.
Sancai refers to the traditional three-piece structure consisting of the lid, the bowl, and the saucer. This design is functional as well as aesthetic, as the saucer protects your table from spills and provides a stable base for the bowl.
