Gai means Lid, Wan means Bowl (see picture on the left). In the southern part of Mainland China and Hong Kong, it&#8217;s also called a JuZhong (Brewing Cup). Gaiwan is the 3 piece porcelain cup marked #1 in the gadget list below. Gaiwan is a common and casual article to serve tea. You can use larger Gaiwans to brew and then distribute to smaller cups like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/guide-to-kung-fu-tea\/\">Kung Fu Tea<\/a>&nbsp;brewing , you can smaller Gaiwans (or simply porcelain teacup) and drink directly from it. Check here for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/gaiwan-and-glass-brewing\/\">porcelain teacup brewing<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What classes of tea are appropriate for Gaiwan brewing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ALL teas can be brewed with a Gaiwan. But since porcelain loses heat quickly, it&#8217;s especially appropriate for green tea which brews well in lower temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What gadgets do I need?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/images\/25a.jpg\" alt=\"Gaiwan Tea Tray\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>3 piece porcelain Gaiwan (must) &#8211; or it wouldn&#8217;t be called Gai wan brewing.<\/li><li>Teacups (must) &#8211; of course, of course.<\/li><li>Tea Tray (sort of a must) &#8211; quite a bit of spill and waste water is produced during the process.

Make sure you read&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/guide-to-kung-fu-tea\/\">Kung Fu brewing<\/a>&nbsp;too because the basic concepts apply here as well. A large Gaiwan (6-7oz) is ok for the process too BUT 1) the size is hard to handle if you have to brew and pour, 2) 6-7oz is a little too large for Kung Fu Cha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Set&#8230; Ready&#8230; and Go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/images\/25.jpg\" alt=\"Gaiwan Step 1\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2.

Let&#8217;s take a break here and learn the trick to handle GaiWan (See PIC in step 5). Use thumb and middle finger to hold the rim of the GaiWan, index finger to press on the lid. Move lid slightly off center to create a small gap between the lid and the body of the GaiWan. The gap works like a filter, allowing tea to flow out but stopping tea leaves. Then we can use the GaiWan like a teapot. Ok, the break is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Wash teacups with tongs, or with bare hands if you got thick skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/images\/30.jpg\" alt=\"Gaiwan Step 7\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>8.

I feel cool every time I drink with a Gaiwan. Sometimes I even imagine I am an emperor when I have a Gaiwan in my hands. It&#8217;s more than just a porcelain cup, it&#8217;s hundreds of years&#8217; of tea culture. Assume you are right handed. Put the Gaiwan in the center of your palm. Spread your fingers to support the bottom of the plate. Use your thumb to hold the rim of the cup. Have your right hand standing by for handling of the lid (see picture on the right).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to drink from a Gaiwan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/images\/gaiwan-5.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two things you need to do constantly while drinking with a Gaiwan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>To stir the tea and;<\/li><li>To get into drinking position while keep the floating tea leaves out of the way.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For number 1, you don&#8217;t use a spoon for the job, you use the lid to stir. Hold the knob of the lid with your thumb and index finger. Dip the near side of the lid into the tea and you can push the floating tea leaves outwards. With the skillful use of the wrist, you can play around with the floating tea leaves with style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For number 2, move the lid slightly off center to create a gap small enough to stop tea leaves from coming out of the Gaiwan. Bring the Gaiwan to your mouth with your left hand while your right hand is keeping the lid in position. Finally, it&#8217;s time to drink.If you are serving tea with a Gaiwan, remember to pass the Gaiwan with BOTH hands. Offering tea in a Gaiwan, or any other cups, with one hand is impolite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/images\/gaiwan-offer.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We have done the hardware, now we can do the software &#8211; the brewing method &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chineseteas101.com\/gaiwan-and-glass-brewing\/\">Gaiwan and glass brewing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What on earth is Gaiwan?
