Know before you buy
The Sancai design consists of a lid, bowl, and saucer, which is the traditional setup for Gong Fu tea. The lid acts as a filter to keep leaves in the bowl while pouring, and the saucer protects your fingers from heat while providing a stable base.
Yes, this gaiwan is crafted from fine porcelain, which is relatively thin. While the flared rim is designed to stay cooler for a comfortable grip, you should handle the bowl carefully when brewing with boiling water.
No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing the porcelain with mild soap to preserve the hand-painted bamboo motif and the integrity of the material.
Yes, 150ml is an ideal size for solo Gong Fu sessions. It allows you to brew smaller, more frequent infusions, which is the standard practice for appreciating the nuanced flavor profiles of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
No, this gaiwan does not include a separate strainer. In the traditional Gong Fu method, you use the lid of the gaiwan to strain the tea leaves as you pour the liquid into your serving cup.
