Jianshui Easy Gaiwan - 100ml

$ 49.99

Easy gaiwans are just that; easy. There is a built in filter that keeps the leaf from pouring out with the tea. You don't have to worry about getting the angle of the lid just right. All you have to do is pour the tea out!

We really love Jianshui clay. It has a purity and soul that comes through the tea session. Jianshui clay is amazing to brew with. We believe the quality of the clay speaks for itself.

These are each handmade by a group of artists who work together. They are single fired and unglazed. This is a true clay which lacks any sand. The natural minerals in the clay will enhance the flavor of your tea. Jianshui is in Yunnan, and the clay used in these teapots comes from the same mountains that grow puerh tea trees. We appreciate that connection. We blogged about this unique town here.

Since these are handmade products each are unique. There are slight variations to each.

We have two variations of this gaiwan. Some are polished brown with black on the inside. The others are polished red inside and out. They both come in at 100ml and measure on average 11cm Wide x 8.5cm Tall.

Tea Towel and Travel Bag

We are offering embroidered bags and a tea towel for $10 more. You can wrap the gaiwan saucer, bowl, and lid in the tea towel and carry it in the bag. This is how we carry these around for tea tastings and it makes for a real efficient travel setup. You can see in the pictures how to wrap it up.

Place the gaiwan saucer on the tea towel.

Fold the towel over the saucer and place the gaiwan bowl.

Fold the towel over the gaiwan bowl and add the inverted lid.

Fold the remaining towel over the top.

Set the gaiwan and towel in the bag and wrap up the sides

Now you are ready to go! This works great for travel.
