Hand Painted Gaiwan Teapot (3 Styles)

Traditional Gaiwan Chinese Teapot, or the english translation “Lid Bowl”, is steeped in the rich heritage of Chinese tea ceremonies (Gong Fu Cha), infusing each ritual with grace and authenticity. Its design allows for precise brewing control, unlocking the full spectrum of flavours and aromas unique to each leaf. Though a gaiwan can be used in many ways, it's best used as a way to concentrate the flavours and aromas of the tea and deliver them in a series of steeps. It allows for greater control and observation of how the leaves behave and change over time, best used in more complex teas and in particular large leaf tea like Raw pu’ers and Rock oolongs to both anticipate the large brewing chamber utilising fast brews on teas that like to be infused multiple times over.

The selection of Gaiwans we import from China incorporate designs of tea inspired villages and people from where we source or specialty tea.
