Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a cup or a teapot?
It is a Gaiwan, which functions as a lidded brewing vessel. You steep the tea inside and pour it out, though it can also be used as a personal drinking cup.
How big is 3.7 oz?
It is a small, traditional size (approx. 110ml) designed for the Gongfu method of brewing concentrated tea in multiple infusions.
Is it microwave safe?
While porcelain is generally microwave safe, we recommend heating water separately to ensure the optimal temperature for your specific tea leaves.
Does it have a filter?
The lid acts as the filter. By tilting the lid slightly during the pour, you can keep the tea leaves inside the cup while the liquor flows out.
