The Gaiwan, a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel, has been cherished since the 14th century. This exquisite glass gaiwan features a saucer, bowl, and lid designed to work in harmony. To brew, start by placing your favorite tea leaves in the bottom of the gaiwan. Pour boiling water until it reaches just below halfway up the cup, then quickly drain it using the lid as a strainer to hold back the leaves. This process allows you to savor the aroma of the rinsed leaves.
Next, add fresh boiling water, pouring it gently down the inside of the cup to swirl the leaves. You can either drink directly from the gaiwan or decant the tea into a small pitcher or individual cups for a cooler sip. This best glass gaiwan for tea brewing is perfect for any tea type, provided you pay attention to water temperature and brewing time. With a capacity of 150 ml (5.1 oz), it’s an ideal choice for tea lovers.
