The "Dehua" gaiwan is a classic lidded cup with a saucer, handy for brewing any tea, from green and white teas to oolongs and pu-erhs. It is made of porcelain, which does not absorb odors or change the taste of the infusion, so you can try different teas in the same gaiwan.
The outer surface of the gaiwan is matte and pleasant to the touch, with a textured design of a phoenix in the sky. Inside, the vessel is covered with a smooth glossy glaze that is easy to clean and shows off the color of the liquor. It is a beautiful and practical piece, both for a home tea ceremony and as a gift for a tea lover.
