Gaiwan

I like it well enough, but beware, it holds no where near 150ml. It holds ~110ml to the brim. Add leaves and the low sitting lid and you’re really brewing closer to 85ml.

This was my first piece of teaware to try brewing gong fu style. The gaiwan itself is beautiful and now that I have the pouring technique down, I'm really enjoying using it. The look of clay with the versatility of porcelain is a great combination. Some of the teas here really do taste better when brewed gong fu style in this gaiwan (especially noticeable with the imperial yellow!). If you are planning to use this with your little red cup, it fills it about halfway full, which is good for a long session with many infusions and keeps the cup from burning your hands.

For my grandson and he loves it!!!!!

The set didn't come with the tea cups, and the gaiwan is much smaller than stated in the description.

This product is awesome, and I'm so glad I made the purchase. I absolutely enjoy using this gaiwan and the accompanying fairness cup, which keeps every pour perfectly consistent. If you're considering buying it, you should definitely get it!🙂👍

Very pleased with this gaiwan & teacup set. I am by no means an experienced tea drinker, but all of the different pieces look good and feel excellent to the touch, with a solid weight and that nice textured clay exterior. I've tested a few different blends in the set so far and all have come out very well.

The gaiwan is really well made, I only wish it was a tad bit larger. The samplers that I’m using (balls or coins) are 4-8 grams, and there’s just not enough room here for that.

Still, the set is well made, it works as intended. It’s made of clay, which is important for the type of tea it is meant for.

Excellent set, I love it. It was wrapped with attention do detail. Came in a good condition. Thank you for a bonus.

This set is beautifully crafted, shipping was very fast and well wrapped. I would highly recommend it.

I am so excited to use this! I've been experimenting multiple short steeps of 15-30 seconds, brewing 2 gm of green tea in 1/2 c water. The weight, texture, and feel of this gaiwan is just what I was hoping for! Another home run, Little Red Cup!

Love the gaiwan, cups and faircup I bought and am enjoying the tea samples. I am just getting into high quality tea and I looked through probably 50 tea sites to find my first gaiwan set and I am very happy with my choice. So far my favorite tea has been the golden monkey - it's a really cozy black tea that made me feel all warm inside. I'm excited to try more and keep learning 😁

I received a very thoughtfully designed package, all the products I ordered came in perfect condition (ceramic cups and tea). I particularly appreciated the personalized card from the owner, you can tell they are dedicated in delivering good services and products. Will definitely reorder again, thank you!

I loved it. I got it as a present for my step dad and he’s been so happy with it!

Arrived perfectly and I'm so happy to be having a gong fu tea at home. Little red tea cup is perfect as always 👌

I received this cup/tea brewing vessel recently. I purchased this for travel purposes; I have not used it yet. Shipping was very quick, and the note that came with my items was a nice personal touch.

It was a gift for my parents, and they loved it!

I waited a little bit to post my review due to the fact that I wished to use my gaiwan a couple of times first, and wow am I loving it! It pours smoothly and holds enough water to fill the cups twice and some extra. All of it feels so nice in the hands, the clay is nice to touch and gives you a great grip. I've only had this set for a few weeks though I've already brewed maybe two ounces in it. I'm really satisfied with both the Camellia Blossom I purchased as well as this set, and I'm really thankful to Mike and everyone else involved in making my tea life more wonderful than I could have imagined.

This little gaiwan set is just right! My daughters especially love having tea time with the little cups!

I love the Gaiwan as it provides a kind of aesthetic ritual for me in my morning routine. It takes a little getting used to how to hold the Gaiwan, but once you do you will notice you get more control out of the temperature, steeping time, and all other aspects of the brewing process. I highly recommend this Gaiwan set from Little Red Cup Tea Co.

This is my second Little Red Cup gaiwan (needed one at home and one at the office)---upper edge of the gaiwan is generously tapered and the unglazed exterior means your fingers won't slip as you pour. This time I opted to get cups as well. My only complaint: the gaiwan and cups are both smaller than described in the "Product Details". Filled to the brim, the gaiwan holds 120 ml of water, and the cups hold only 20 ml (!). The lid of the gaiwan also rests inside, rather than sitting on the top, so if you pour more than about 90ml of water into it, the water comes up past the lid. The gaiwan size is perfect for me, but I am slightly disappointed the cups are so much smaller than described. I had hoped the two cups together would hold 1 steep of tea from the gaiwan, but they hold more like half.

Gaiwan Gift Set

It is a beautiful little teacup with a nice texture to it. It is a it bit smaller than I find useful, so it will probably be a china cupboard decoration. If you don't brew and drink from the gaiwan, the size is likely to be just fine.

I Will share your authentic healing tea with everyone I know who enjoys teas.

Well-packed, quick shipping, and the gaiwan and cups were as expected. They’re small, of course, but they’re supposed to be.

I recently purchased this Gaiwan set for my birthday and I'm loving it. The quality is great. I've used it with the tea sampler I got as well as some Sake (just for the cups). Overall they are great. I advise you make sure you understand what you're buying when it comes to the size. A Gaiwan is traditionally pretty small. I knew this when purchasing so it wasn't a problem for me. Just check to make sure it will be appropriate for yourself. I highly recommend this product.

Really great packaging, speed and product. Very impressed.

My son studied in China and has many fond memories. I bought this as a gift for him to remind him of his wonderful time there. He absolutely loved the teas and the gsiwan! He said it is the best tea he has tasted and is enjoying several cups of tea everyday. He may have to order more soon. He also very much liked the two postcards he received with the tea and I enjoyed the personal note enclosed. Wonderful!

Thanks again for the “personalized” delivery! I haven’t used the set yet as it is an Xmas gift, but I did look it over and it was of sound quality. Thank you!

Didn’t get to use it, it fell on my countertop and broke.😞

I love this little Gaiwan!
I was a little skeptical , but truly the whole tea drinking experience is better!
I wouldn't use it to Macro brew, any tea...its made to be used when you can take your time, and enjoy it. Must have as far as I'm concerned...

I purchased this gaiwan with ease, as it was a very reasonable price. Overall, I do enjoy the use of it, but it took a bit of getting used to. I tend to be a picky person, so that may very well color my review. I find that the side walls of the vessel, and the lid are too thick. This makes it very difficult to pour off without making a bit of a mess. I have other gaiwans that I am comparing the use too, hence my judgment on this one.
I would say I don't regret the purchase at all, but if one is new to the use of a gaiwan, don't let this one be your final decision.
