Frequently Asked Questions

A gaiwan is a traditional Chinese brewing vessel used for gongfu-style tea. It allows you to control steeping precisely, enjoy multiple short infusions, and fully experience the aroma and flavor of loose-leaf teas.
The crackle glaze is an intentional celadon technique, created through controlled cooling that forms natural, unique fissures. It's a hallmark of craftsmanship — each piece develops its own distinct pattern, like a fingerprint.
This gaiwan holds 130ml, the ideal size for gongfu brewing. It enables richer flavors, better leaf expansion, and more nuanced infusions.
Not at all. With a simple tilt-motion pour, the lid acts as a strainer to hold back the leaves. Most users get comfortable within one or two sessions — it’s much easier than it looks.
Gaiwans are perfect for oolong, green, white, black, and pu-erh teas. They’re especially good for teas with evolving flavor profiles across multiple infusions.
Hand wash only and avoid abrasive scrubbers. Rinse after each session and let it dry naturally. Over time, the crackle glaze may deepen in color — a beautiful sign of use and patina.
Yes. It's made from high-quality porcelain designed for boiling water and repeated infusions. The walls stay manageable to hold when pouring, as expected with gongfu vessels.
