What it does

- Ceramic
- Gongfu
- Single serve
Who it suits
- gongfu brewing, where short repeated steeps let you taste a leaf change across infusions

Who should skip it

- anyone who finds a hot lid and bowl awkward, because pouring with the lid takes a little practice
The thing worth knowing
A gaiwan is a lidded bowl: you pour through the gap between the lid and the rim, which holds the leaves back. Porcelain and glazed ceramic stay neutral and suit every type of tea.

What we have not done
We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
