Among countless gaiwans covered in vivid patterns, this Blue Line Porcelain Gaiwan stands out precisely through its "stillness". A design made for tea lovers who favour the minimalist style.
Pattern: No elaborate flowers or foliage at all. The only accent is the fine blue rim lines (Blue Rim) running around the lid, the mouth and the foot of the cup.
Aesthetics: The slender, decisive brushwork on a glossy cream glaze creates a gentle yet utterly eye-catching contrast. This beauty evokes elegance and purity, leaving the tea drinker's mind light and free of care.
The glaze: A glossy, silky porcelain glaze in ivory white (or cream) gives a warm, classic feel.
125ml capacity: This is the international standard capacity for gongfu brewing. It suits every occasion: from a contemplative cup alone to sharing tea with a kindred spirit.
Grip: The gently flared gaiwan shape and its well-judged curve give a firm, slip-free hold.
With a gaiwan as minimalist as this one, its function is celebrated all the more:
An Honest "Mirror": Porcelain takes on no odours and retains no aroma. It reflects the plain, natural taste of the leaf 100% accurately. The bright glaze lets you observe the colour of the liquor (green - red - yellow) with the greatest clarity.
Temperature Control: The wide mouth releases heat quickly, making it ideal for the teas that call for delicacy, such as green tea, white tea and green oolong. The tea will never be "stewed" or lose its fresh fragrance.
Quick, Simple Handling: The movable lid lets you adjust the pour, fast or slow, exactly as you wish. Cleaning up after drinking is extremely simple too: a light rinse and it is spotless.
