White porcelain gaiwan – 130 ml

A clean, white porcelain gaiwan for the Chinese tea ceremony ( gongfu ). Due to its neutral, odorless and tasteless material, it can be used for practically any type of tea , and the white color makes it easy to see the shape of the leaves and the color of the brew.

Main features

• Neutral porcelain: does not absorb or transfer flavors - ideal for tasting.
• Convenient shape: easy-to-handle rim and lid for precise, drip-free pouring.
• Versatility: can be used for green, white, oolong, red and puer teas.
• Capacity: 130 ml – ideal for tea for 1-3 people.

Usage – quick guide

1. Preheating: rinse the gaiwan with hot water, then pour it out.
2. Dosage: guideline ratio is approximately 1 g tea / 50–70 ml (can be adjusted to taste).
3. Pouring: blanch at the appropriate temperature, in short, controlled pours.
4. Pouring: Keep the lid slightly tilted and pour with a firm motion – to retain the leaves.

Cleaning and care

• Washing: Hand washing recommended; can also be cleaned in the dishwasher (on a gentle cycle).
• Avoid abrasive products and scented cleaning products.
• Thermal shock: avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g. ice water into a hot pot).
