These are such gorgeous little gaiwans. We fell in love with them when we first saw them. The work quite well and won't get your fingers hot. The lotus carvings in the exterior are really beautiful.

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.

This gaiwan is polished black, Jianshui clay and is 70ml. They measure on average 8cm Wide x 7cm Tall.
