Gaiwan simply means “Lidded Bowl.” This is a very popular method for brewing tea in the Gong-Fu style. It provides incredible control over your brewing while allowing you to watch the loose-leaf tea as it opens up with each infusion.
This gaiwan comes with a lid for the bowl as well as a saucer. It’s fairly large for a Gong-Fu style holding approximately 5 ounces of liquid and standing at 3.5 inches tall with lid and saucer. The diameter of the widest part of the bowl is 3.75 inches.
To avoid over brewing, we recommend to pair any gaiwan purchase with a serving pitcher.
If you have never used this method before, we strongly encourage you to participate in one of our tasting events first. When using a gaiwan, it is incredibly easy to burn yourself with boiling water. Dark Monk Tea will not be held responsible for burns caused from improper or inexperienced usage.
