Know before you buy

Yes, the 4oz capacity is the standard size for Gongfu tea brewing, making it ideal for personal use or for serving one other person.
This gaiwan is versatile and performs well with any whole-leaf tea, including white, green, red, and oolong varieties. Its design allows the leaves to fully unfurl, which is essential for extracting complex flavors.
