The "Gaiwan," also known as "San Gai Wan," consists of three parts: Lid, Body, and Saucer. This vessel is a traditional and essential tool for steeping and enjoying Gongfu tea, allowing for the appreciation of the tea's aroma and color as well as the taste.
Usage Steps:
- Add 4-8 grams of tea leaves into the Gaiwan body.
- Pour water heated to the appropriate temperature onto the tea leaves. For green or black teas, use water between 85-92 degrees Celsius to avoid burning the leaves and to extract the perfect flavor.
- Place the lid on the Gaiwan and then pour out the water to rinse the leaves, preparing them for the first brew.
- Continue this process, enjoying the tea soup. With each subsequent infusion, you may choose to slightly extend the steeping time to extract a deeper flavor, according to your personal preference.
This "Ru Yao" Gaiwan is as much a work of art as it is a functional piece for tea brewing. Its beautiful rust glaze and crackle pattern make it a standout piece that will enhance any tea ceremony, while also serving as a coveted gift for any tea aficionado.
