This gaiwan is perfectly designed with a removal mesh infuser to hold back the tea leaves as you pour. It is the easiest piece of traditional tea ware to use that we offer.
A good gaiwan of super quality, it has very thick walls though so it might not be the best choice for finest of green and light roasted oolong teas. For strong tea that like high temperature - go for it, it's beautiful, the quality of the product is great!
