A Gaiwan, also known as a “lidded bowl” or “covered bowl,” is a traditional Chinese teaware consisting of three parts: a saucer, a bowl, and a lid. It is used for brewing, steeping, and serving tea, particularly for more delicate and complex teas such as green, white, and oolong teas. Gaiwans can be made from various materials, including porcelain, glass, and clay.

To use a Gaiwan, place the tea leaves in the bowl, add hot water, and then cover with the lid. Allow the tea to steep for the appropriate amount of time based on the type of tea. When it’s ready, slightly tilt the lid to create a small opening and pour the tea into a fairness cup or directly into the teacups, using the lid to hold back the tea leaves. This process allows for precise control over the brewing process and enables multiple infusions of the same tea leaves, which is particularly useful for enjoying the nuanced flavors of high-quality teas.
