Jianzi Tall Foot 150
Gaiwans, Tea Accessories, White porcelainUSD 13.80Professional tea tasting with style
Although this is a gaiwan developed with the requirements for standard tea tasting, at 150ml ISO capacity at below the lid cover, we have it made with all the proper ergonomic requirements, and in a great looking design. Produced in fine kaolin porcelain and gorgeously finished with a glossy overglaze. A great tool for the professional, the real connoisseur or the novice drinker.
Each unit contains one gaiwan bowl with a lid. Choice of three colours.

Drum Gongfu Cups: Set of Three
Cups, Tea Accessories, White porcelainUSD 9.90Unlike a wide mouth cup such as the lamp shade, or a tall cup such as a magnolia shape, a drum shape cup has a lesser ratio in surface area to volume, allowing it to hold heat relatively longer. As such, there is an advantage when the intention is to have a few sips from a cup, or when you do not want the tea to cool down too quickly because of the ambience or because the infused tea is not that hot in the first place. 3 cups in each unit.

Celeste Green Gaiwan
Gaiwans, Tea Accessories, White porcelainUSD 17.10The plum blossom blooms in mid to late January against the bitterness of Winter. That is why ancient literati had a high regard of the flower, for its metaphoric representation of people with the strength and endurance of holding on Righteousness, even when facing violent repression by the powerful.
Symbolism aside, the gaiwan's round belly form provides a minimal surface area to volume ratio to maximise heat retention, while fanning out at the brim to quicken cooling for easy handling and smooth decantation. This is a classic shape. The lid has a well form dome for trapping air. A lid button has a well formed hollow to keep itself cool enough for resting your finger on it when handling.
