What is a Gaiwan?

A gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is a classic Chinese tea brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history. Loved by tea enthusiasts worldwide, this three-part (bowl + lid here) design lets you fully control steep time for perfectly balanced flavor every time.

How to Use Your Gaiwan

Using a glass gaiwan is simple even for beginners: add your loose leaf tea, pour hot water, place the lid slightly ajar to strain leaves as you pour brewed tea into your cup or fairness pitcher. The open design lets you adjust steep time easily for any tea type—from delicate green teas and white teas to rich oolongs and aged pu-erh.
