In the foreground is a tiny teapot full of tea leaves. There is a tea cup full of black tea in the background. There is also a small stoneware vase with decorative blue leaves painted on it. Everything sits on a bamboo mat.

Second brew

Pitcher inside the lazy gaiwan structure, with nearly the whole gaiwan visible. The gaiwan is a bowl on top of the structure. Tea is pouring from the gaiwan to the pitcher underneath

Tea leaves inside the gaiwan, they are much more in leaf shape now, no more rolled balls, and they occupy a much bigger volume

I always want green tea this time of year but the fresh stuff (i.e., tea picked right about now through early April) doesn’t make it over to me until late spring. So I saved some of last years to drink during this time.

A small glass pitcher with green tea leaves and tea being poured into another glass pitcher sitting on a bamboo tea tray behind a white and blue rice grain porcelain cup also filled with green tea. A faint wisp of steam is rising from the thin stream of tea being poured.

Strapping in for FOUR HOURS of meetings. I've got a gaiwan with some phoenix oolong that I hope I can at least brew between them.

The face of a puerh tea cake with neifei half buried under pressed and dried tea leaves. The cake is sitting in its open wrapper with some Chinese characters at the top.

A yixing teapot, glass pitcher, and teacup arranged on a bamboo tray in the morning light. The pitcher and cup are filled with amber colored tea. The light streaming through the glass pitcher and onto the teapot.

Two gaiwans on a work bench…

My version of “builders tea”, they are perfect for keeping the dust out!

For me, Gaiwans are the in-betweens of tea. They are not bowls and not teapots. You can use them to drink from. I have lovely memories of doing so in a tea garden in China, but you can also use them as a teapot to explore more of the complexity in the leaves… they don’t excel at either of these tasks but sometimes you just want to use one

These have a simple ash glaze and have been fired to cone 10 in oxidation
