The "Dragon Green" gaiwan is a classic Chinese brewing vessel consisting of a bowl, a lid and a saucer. It is made of Jingdezhen porcelain: this city in Jiangxi province has been regarded as the capital of Chinese porcelain for centuries.
The gaiwan is suited to gongfu brewing: it makes it easy to watch the leaf unfurl, control the steeping time and pour off the brew while holding the lid with a finger. Porcelain does not absorb aromas, so different teas can be brewed in one gaiwan in turn, and the flavor and scent of the tea come through clean, without foreign aftertastes.
The name "Dragon Green" points to the dragon motif and the green tones of the decoration. The 150 ml capacity is right for brewing tea for one or two people.
