Gaiwan

This glass gaiwan, exclusive to Camellia Sinensis, enables the appreciation of the hidden side of of infusing tea. Its smooth sides ensure a comfortable grip and a neutral infusion; it can accommodate all families of tea. This small, covered cup and saucer, is an instrument of choice especially for infusing teas with large leaves. The tea leaves are infused directly in the cup and the lid is used to hold back the leaves when it is time to stop the infusion. The gaiwan is very good for multiple infusions, concentrating their aromas and flavours in each cup.

This line was born from collaboration between the Camellia Sinensis team and the potter Zhang Zhen Chun.  Ms. Zhang is the perfect example of symbiosis between modernity and tradition. Passionate about design, the young woman develops pieces rich in style and character. A graduate from Jingdezhen University in China, her work is worthy of this famous city, known for the quality of its porcelain since the Tang dynasty (7th century).

A very versatile material, this ceramic has a gentle egg shell finish.

This celadon gaiwan comes directly from the workshops of Mr Jin Yi Rui located in the city of Longquan, China.
