A traditional and enjoyable way to make tea. Particularly good for use with green or white teas.

Fundamentally sound
There are not exactly a wide range of Gaiwans available on the market online and the few that one may encounter at shops are usually of an extremely low quality. So, assuming that price is an indicator of quality, to find a Gaiwan on sale above £20 is extremely rare.
As one reveiwer has pointed out, the lid fitting is really exceptional and the body fits readily in the saucer without suction. In short, all three pieces that comprise the Gaiwan are fundamentally sound. It is also aesthetically pleasing with a slight noticeable blue hue.

High quality Gaiwan
I've had many Gaiwans over the years. From low to high quality. Some great, some terrible. What you need to look for in a Gaiwan is size, shape, colour. This Gaiwan ticks those three for me. The lid fit is great, slightly imperfect leaving a small opening which is how it should be. Fits snug in its saucer without creating suction, and doesn't wobble. Also has a nice shape lip on the bowl for those that use the three finger technique.
Glaze has a slight tint of blue but is basically pure white which is perfect for framing and examining tea before its poured.
The overall quality is superb, its a medium thickness so suitable for all teas. Clearly its been high fired as it gives a nice crystal glass style ping when flicked.
If you dont own a Gaiwan you should, and this is a perfect example of a great one.
