At first glance, a simple tool that nonetheless belongs to the very foundations of the tea world. The gaiwan is one of the most versatile methods of tea preparation – which is precisely why it is often the first choice for those who wish to explore loose-leaf tea. It allows for quick, precise infusions and offers space for experimentation without the need for complex equipment.
Do not be misled by its accessibility. This glass gaiwan is not just a “beginner’s” tool, but a fully capable companion for all levels of tea enthusiasts. Glass as a material does not affect the taste or aroma of the infusion and allows its natural character to fully stand out. At the same time, it offers a unique visual experience – you can watch the leaves gradually unfurl and release their color and fragrance.
The gaiwan is made of high-quality borosilicate glass, which is resistant to temperature changes and suitable for everyday use. The quality of craftsmanship is impressive, especially considering its hand-made nature. Thoughtful details enhance comfort during use: the saucer features a subtle recess of approximately 5 mm that securely holds the cup in place, while the lid is shaped to fit comfortably between the fingers and prevent slipping when pouring. Every element has its purpose and contributes to the smooth flow of the entire process.
The total capacity is 100 ml, making it an ideal tool for smaller, focused infusions. The gaiwan has an overall height of 75 mm, a height to the lid opening of 60 mm, and a diameter of 85 mm, ensuring stability and comfortable handling with every pour.
It is a tool that brings together practicality, simplicity, and aesthetics. Whether you are just beginning your journey with tea or returning to it with deeper experience, this gaiwan allows you to experience tea in its purest form. For a complete visual and functional experience, it can be ideally paired with a glass fairness pitcher, forming a harmonious set.
