Description
A gaiwan is the honest instrument of tea: nothing between the leaves and the water but a bowl, a lid and your attention. Ours is sized at 140 ml – small enough for true gongfu proportions, big enough to share – with a lid rim that stays cool where the fingers land and a saucer that steadies the whole gesture.
The celadon glaze shows the liquor colour truly, which matters more than it sounds once you start paying attention. If you buy one piece from this catalogue to change how you brew, buy this one.
