White Porcelain Gaiwan for Gong Fu Tea 180ml

This is a Dehua white porcelain gaiwan. White porcelain is made from high-quality kaolin, whose main component is kaolinite. This clay has low iron content, fine particles, and excellent plasticity, making it ideal for white porcelain production. The firing temperature typically ranges from 1200°C to 1400°C, resulting in hard, dense porcelain with a smooth and glossy glaze.

The gaiwan holds profound significance in Chinese tea culture. It is not just a tool for brewing tea but also an embodiment of the spirit of tea ceremonies. Comprising three parts—the lid, bowl, and saucer—it symbolizes the philosophical concept of the unity of heaven, earth, and humanity. Using a gaiwan to brew tea allows one to better observe the changes in tea leaves in water and fully release the tea's aroma and flavor.
