Bana Two Birds and a Blossom Chinese Gaiwan (Traditional Chinese Teaware Comprised of a Cup, Saucer and Lid) and Pu-erh Tea Sample

Gaiwans are used to brew tea in the traditional style of the Chinese Gongfu (Kungfu) Tea Ceremony. Several successive brews of the tea are combined in a "fairness pitcher," (not included) which serves to average-out the several brews into a "fair" mixture. The tea is then poured from the fairness pitcher into tea cups (also not included). Alternatatively, tea can be drunk directly from the gaiwan, the lid used both to keep the tea warm and as a strainer to block the tea leaves from consumption. The dimensions of the gaiwan are 3 1/4 inches high and 3 1/2 inches wide. Bana Tea products ship from the United States.
