This graceful turquoise Gaiwan, a part of our "White Crane" Tea Set, is adorned with delicate depictions of a white crane — a symbol of longevity and peace in Chinese culture. Fun fact: Back in imperial times, those majestic birds were even embroidered on officials' robes to showcase their rank.
Let's dive into the magic of using a small infuser like the Gaiwan. Something special happens when you brew tea using this vessel Gong Fu Cha style. You create concentrated quantities of tea that capture the essence of the tea leaves. It's like unlocking a treasure trove of flavors and aromas! And the best part?
