The Blue Peony Porcelain Gaiwan is a traditional Chinese tea brewing set that has stood the test of time, dating back to around 1350. This elegant set includes a beautifully designed saucer, bowl, and lid, perfect for tea enthusiasts.
To brew, start by adding your loose leaves to the bottom of the gaiwan. Pour boiling water until it reaches just below halfway up the cup, then immediately drain it using the lid as a strainer. This process awakens the aroma of the tea leaves. Next, refill with fresh boiling water, pouring it gently down the inside of the cup to create a swirling motion among the leaves. This method enhances the flavors and allows you to enjoy a refreshing cup of tea.
The Blue Peony Gaiwan is versatile; it can be used for any type of tea, and with careful attention to water temperature and brewing time, you’ll achieve the perfect infusion every time. You can also use it as a teapot by decanting the tea into a small pitcher or individual porcelain tea cups for sharing.
Crafted from high-quality porcelain, this gaiwan set holds 180 ml (6.1 oz) of your favorite brew, making it an essential addition to any tea lover’s collection.
