A must-have tea set for an immersive gongfu tea brewing experience

Gongfu brewing is a traditional Chinese brewing method that uses small brewing vessels, such as a Gaiwan, to brew high-quality tea over multiple infusions. We find that the best way for a tea drinker to truly understand the intricate flavors of single-origin tea is to use this 500-year-old traditional Chinese teaware and observe the change in flavor over multiple infusions without over-steeping the tea.

We picked the most versatile and modern teaware to create a Gaiwan Tea Set to help maximize every kind of tea at your home. With a white porcelain Gaiwan as its primary brewing vessel, this tea set is ideal for a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and a simplified version adapted from the traditional gongfu style.

For your best tea experience, this set is composed of the following items:

  • Porcelain Gaiwan (190mL; 3-piece set)
  • Porcelain Serving Pitcher
  • Porcelain Tea Strainer (2-piece set)
  • Porcelain Tea Cups (70mL; 4-piece set)

✓ 100% Dehua porcelain
✓ Brew all types of tea
✓ Taste more depth of flavor from your tea
✓ Easy cleaning
✓ No tea leaves stuck on your strainer 

Perfect for

  • Tea enthusiasts looking to brew tea in gongfu style for the first time
  • Tea connoisseurs looking to evaluate and taste the flavors of high-quality tea over multiple infusions

    old school simplicity

    the perfect sized gaiwan. i need only to weigh the leaves and set the temperatures on my water pot and set the timer …i always have the same volume of water volume to leaves…. resulting in consistent brews regardless of tea types..yes, it’s small and yes it takes some effort,..yes, it takes some time. but the results are well worth the effort. only a tea lover would understand.

    Appreciate straight informative text about the products

    For a casual tea fan, like myself, I appreciate straight informative text about the products you offer. Words such as “everyday gaiwan” are helpful to me for understanding how these things actually work. Not just beautiful objects, but functioning teaware for real people to drink tea. The appreciation of the more refined aspects follows soon after one acquires a little confidence they are on the right path.

    Hi Pete, Thank you for spending time to send us your wonderful review. As much as possible, we use informative words that could help people gain more understanding especially now that there are a lot of misconceptions about tea / teaware and how they work. Thank you for appreciating what we do. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

    My go to teapot

    From my experience at Mansa’s Gaiwan workshop, I could tell that the gaiwan I was previously using was not the right one for me, it was too small and very thin. So I decided to purchase this one and it was the perfect size for my hands. I really like the thickness of the porcelain. It feels like it keeps the gaiwan from getting too hot to handle. This is my go to teapot for Chinese green tea, fine black tea and oolongs.
