The Heart Sutra Gaiwan (part of our "Heart Sutra" teaware set) is a stunning piece of teaware that merges spiritual depth with practical functionality. Made from unglazed Dehua ZhuNi clay, this gaiwan allows the natural beauty of the clay to shine through, creating an elegant and serene aesthetic. The unglazed finish enhances the tea-drinking experience by allowing the clay's unique properties to interact with the brew.
The exterior of the gaiwan is adorned with the Heart Sutra, one of the most important texts in Buddhism. The intricate script is beautifully etched onto the surface, adding a layer of spiritual significance to your tea sessions. This detailed decoration not only enhances the visual appeal of the gaiwan but also infuses each use with a sense of mindfulness and contemplation.
The design of the gaiwan features a wide bowl for easy pouring and a lid that fits the bowl perfectly. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip, even when handling hot tea. The interior features a beautiful contrast in color to the exterior, adding to the visual delight of each tea session. The gaiwan is perfect for Gong Fu Cha, enabling multiple short infusions that bring out the intricate flavors and aromas of fine teas.
Using the Heart Sutra Gaiwan, you engage with the rich tradition of Chinese tea culture. The Dehua clay enhances the tea's flavor and helps maintain its temperature, while the unglazed surface develops a unique patina over time, reflecting the history of teas brewed within it. This gaiwan is more than just a tea-making tool; it is a meaningful addition to your tea practice, bringing mindfulness and tranquility to each pour.
NOTE: Clay easily absorbs taste and aromas and should never be washed using detergents.
