This traditional three-piece (Sancai) porcelain gaiwan brings authentic Chinese tea culture to your daily brew and tea gatherings. Handcrafted with balanced proportions and a timeless silhouette, this 5.7oz (170ml) gaiwan is perfectly sized for solo sipping or sharing with one or two friends, keeping tea warm long enough to enjoy without getting cold.
Rooted in centuries of Chinese tea tradition, the Sancai Gaiwan design carries gentle philosophical meaning: the lid represents heaven, the bowl represents humanity, and the saucer represents earth, embodying the harmony between nature and tea culture that has defined Chinese tea practice for generations.
We offer two distinct colorways to match your personal aesthetic and tea setup:
- Matte Black: A solid, understated matte finish with a calm, grounded energy, ideal for minimalist and modern茶桌 (chazhuo / tea table) setups
- Reactive Green: A one-of-a-kind mottled, naturally variegated green glaze with subtle earthy undertones, creating a warm, rustic, organic look that celebrates natural kiln firing effects
Crafted from durable high-fired ceramic, this gaiwan is naturally non-reactive, so it won’t alter the delicate flavor of your favorite tea – from delicate green teas to robust roasted oolongs and aged pu-erh. The material holds steady temperature for consistent brewing, and wipes clean easily for everyday use. The ergonomically curved bowl fits comfortably in your hand, with a perfectly sized saucer to catch drips and protect your hands from heat.
