While to many drinkers, the white porcelain gaiwan maybe the standard infusion vessel, some need an instrument to further improve the brewing experience. It should have all the advantages of a good porcelain — a thin, well formed brim for good decantation, a hollow in the lid button for keeping it cool enough for handling, a dome-shape lid for air trap, a rounded belly for minimising surface area to volume ratio… just like the Celeste Green Gaiwan has. However, one may want additionally a thicker, denser wall in the bowl for even better heat retention, a more solid weight for more confidence in handling, yet the same smooth, polished surface as porcelain for easy care. That would make the perfect gaiwan. Such as this Moonlight gaiwan. A double glazed stoneware of a very dense clay, it weighs 46% more than a porcelain gaiwan of its size. It has a thicker wall at the belly, yet the same thin brim that you expect of a good gaiwan. Its capacity is 150ml, just like an infusion mug specified in the international tasting standard ISO 3103.

Classic White Utility Gaiwan 150
Gaiwans, Home, Teaware
150 ml is an important capacity for infusion vessel, because this is one of the standard sizes specified by ISO for preparing tea for tasting. That is also why we think this classic bell shape white china gaiwan is so useful as a utility infusion ware. It is also a large enough size for serving up enough tea using the gongfu approach, yet small enough for most hand sizes to handle. Produced by a very small studio in Chaozhou ( the "capital" of gongfu tea ) using a half-mould, half-handmade process, the thinness at brim of the bowl is ideal for smooth liquid flow and heat management.
Choice of white porcelain and bone china.
US$15.0
These tea cups are awesome, with a supremely thin brim and a thick enough base to have good heat retention despite a relatively small volume.
I bought these because I wanted to have some cups handy for when I brew Chaozhou-style, but I find myself using at least one (if not all three) cups more and more often because they’re just so well-crafted.
I love the way the interior of these cups makes the color of the tea pop – particularly with Phoenix and Wuyi oolongs. The effect is really nice, and even with teas which produce darker soups like shu pu’er, the thin brown rim complements the jet-black color really well.
It’s very satisfying to drink from these cups.
