Gaiwan

Gaiwan originates from China in the Ming-dynasty, and can function as both a teapot and a teacup. It has three parts; a saucer, a body and a lid, that were specially designed to brew and drink teas with delicate flavors and aromas. Gaiwan teapots are suitable to brew larger leafed green, white and oolong teas, such as Feng Huang Dancong teas, Wuyi oolong teas or Wen Shan Bao Zhong teas, for the porcelain absorbs heat and prevents the tea leaves from being damaged. Sazen Tea offers a variety of special, handmade gaiwans carefully made by Japanese artists.
