Darker Pastel gaiwan – earth & cherry tones, eggshell lid
A clean, yet characterful gaiwan with the soft colors of spring: the greenish-brown base of the outer glaze is deepened by subtle burgundy shades, the lid is eggshell-colored, and the interior is completely white porcelain to faithfully reproduce the color and aromas of the tea. The 145 ml (filled to the brim) capacity is ideal for intimate, multi-pour tea drinking, alone or with two.
Why do we love it?
- Sophisticated, pastel palette: greenish-brown and burgundy tones, eggshell lid – a calm, natural atmosphere.
- Pure taste: the completely white interior does not color or scent the tea.
- Precise pouring: tight-fitting lid and comfortable rim for controlled pouring.
Details
- Capacity: 145 ml (filled to the brim)
- Material: porcelain (outer pastel glaze, interior completely white)
- Recommended for: green, white, oolong and red (black) teas
Use & care
- Before the first pour, rinse with hot water for a pleasant warm sensation and clean aroma.
- After use, clean by hand with a mild detergent; wipe with a soft sponge.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock); do not use in a microwave oven.
Note: Due to the natural play of pastel glaze, shades and small details may vary slightly from piece to piece - this makes each gaiwan unique.
Personal contact
Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.
Stories
We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.
Direct
This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
