A pure Blue Lotus in a Pond motif: The image of a blue lotus opening amid a pond of leaves brings a cool, peaceful and still feeling with a deeply meditative quality. In East Asian culture, the blue lotus is a noble symbol of wisdom, purity and a serene, unfettered spirit.
Lively hand-painted craftsmanship: Every soft lotus petal, every crisp leaf vein and every gentle movement of the lotus pond is drawn entirely by hand by the artisan. The brushwork carries a natural bleed of colour, giving the piece a living "soul" and turning each gaiwan into a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Selected porcelain material: A premium porcelain body fired at the standard temperature gives the finished cup a durable structure, good heat resistance and steady water temperature, preserving the full essence of the flavour and aroma across every infusion.
Compact, elegant proportions: A capacity of 105ml is the ideal and hugely popular size for an unhurried session alone (drinking tea by yourself) or a deep session shared with a kindred spirit (two people).
Awakening the full flavour of the tea: The well-judged space creates a perfect brewing environment, giving teas with large buds and leaves or tightly rolled oolong enough room to take up water and unfurl freely, releasing the deepest layers of aroma and a rich lingering finish.
Easy control of the water, precise cut-off: A moderate capacity lets the tea drinker master the steeping time to the second, keeping every pour fresh and free of the harsh, scorched or stewed notes that come from letting the leaves sit too long.
A backdrop that honours the liquor's colour: The interior of the gaiwan is glazed a pristine white, serving as the perfect backdrop to reflect the clear colour of each infusion fully and faithfully.
Heat-insulating ergonomic design: The form of the gaiwan, with its widely flared rim and carefully considered tall lid knob, gives the tea drinker a thoroughly secure grip, so shifting the lid and pouring the tea are smooth and decisive without any worry of burnt fingers.
No retained odours, easy to clean: The premium glaze is smooth and fine and absorbs nothing of the previous infusion's aroma, so you can freely switch between different teas (white tea, oolong, green tea and so on) within a single session without any fear of the flavours mixing.
