Handcrafted Pure White Ceramic Gaiwan | 3.4oz-5.7oz | Traditional Chinese Sancai Gaiwan Tea Brewer

About This Gaiwan: A Timeless Chinese Tea Brewing Treasure

This handcrafted pure white ceramic gaiwan (pronounced ‘guy-wahn’) is a classic three-piece Chinese tea brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history in Chinese tea culture. Also called the “Sancai Bowl” (三才碗), it embodies the ancient Chinese philosophy of harmony between Heaven (the lid), Earth (the bowl), and Humanity (the saucer) — bringing deep cultural meaning to every daily tea moment.

Premium White Ceramic Quality

• Made of high-fired fine white porcelain with a smooth, glossy glaze that resists staining and odors
• Chemically stable food-safe material that preserves the true aroma and flavor of your tea, never altering the natural taste of your leaves
• Excellent light transmission lets you clearly observe the rich color and clarity of your steeped tea for easy tasting
• Durable, heat-resistant and dishwasher-safe for easy everyday cleaning

Thoughtful Practical Design

Our minimalist white gaiwan features carefully balanced proportions for effortless brewing: the raised lid knob is easy to grip and adjust to control steep time and strain tea leaves, the curved bowl fits comfortably in your hand, and the matching saucer catches drips and protects your hands from heat. The clean, unadorned pure white design complements any home, office, or tea room decor, blending traditional Chinese aesthetics with modern minimalist style.
