A Gaiwan, meaning “Lid and Bowl”, is a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel. Usually made from glazed ceramic or porcelain, which is ideal for all tea types.

The first record of the gaiwan dates back to the Tang Dynasty in China (618–907). The gaiwan was originally designed for the imperial court and was used to brew tea for the emperor and his guests.
Over time, the gaiwan became more popular among the general population and was eventually adopted as a standard tea brewing method in China. Today, the gaiwan is still widely used in China and has been adopted by tea enthusiasts around the world.

There are actually quite a few teas that are best brewed in a gaiwan.
First up is white tea. White tea is known for being very delicate, and brewing it in a gaiwan helps to preserve its delicate flavor.
Next is green tea. Green tea is another delicate tea, but it has a slightly more robust flavor than white tea. Brewing green tea in a gaiwan allows you to control the flavor and bitterness, so you can tailor it to your own taste.
Oolong tea is another great option for brewing in a gaiwan. Oolong is semi–oxidized, which gives it a unique flavor that is somewhere between green and black tea. It’s also known for being very versatile, so you can experiment with different brewing times and temperatures to find the perfect cup for you.
Last but not least is pu’erh tea. Pu’erh tea is a type of fermented black tea, and it has a very strong and earthy flavor. Because of its strong flavor, pu’erh tea is best brewed in small quantities. If you’re looking for an intense and flavorful cup of tea, pu’erh is a great option.
