A gaiwan is a traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel consisting of three parts: a bowl, a lid, and a saucer. It is used for steeping loose leaf tea, allowing for precise control over the brewing process.

To use a gaiwan, add loose tea leaves to the bowl, pour in hot water (at the appropriate temperature for your tea type), cover with the lid, and steep for the desired time. You can then pour the tea through the lid into your cup.
