Gaiwan

A Gaiwan is a traditional Chinese tea drinking vessel consisting of three parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer. It allows you to brew and enjoy tea directly in the same container, providing control over steeping time and strength. The lid helps retain heat and strain out tea leaves when pouring. Gaiwans are made from materials like porcelain, glass, or clay, enhancing the flavor and aroma of the tea. They are favored for their elegance, functionality, and the ability to appreciate the nuances of high-quality loose leaf teas through multiple infusions.
