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.

Using a gaiwan allows for versatile brewing techniques, making it suitable for various types of tea. It also enhances the sensory experience by letting you observe the leaves unfurl and appreciate the aroma before sipping.
