The San Cai Gaiwan

The San Cai Gaiwan (三才盖碗) is a beautifully crafted traditional Chinese tea vessel that symbolizes the harmony of Heaven, Earth, and Man (San Cai, 三才). This three-piece set includes a lid, bowl, and saucer, each representing one of the three elements. The gaiwan's unique design allows for precise control over the brewing process, making it an excellent choice for steeping delicate teas like white, green, or oolong.

The San Cai Gaiwan is not just a practical tool for brewing tea but also a representation of balance and mindfulness in the tea ceremony. Its wide bowl allows the tea leaves to unfurl fully, releasing their full flavor and aroma, while the lid can be used to control the infusion time and maintain the heat. The saucer provides stability and protection, making the entire experience both elegant and functional.

Perfect for both tea connoisseurs and those new to traditional tea brewing, the San Cai Gaiwan adds a touch of culture and sophistication to your tea ritual, ensuring each brew is steeped in balance and harmony.
