"White Crane" Gaiwan

$36.00

This graceful 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. Back in imperial times, those majestic birds were embroidered on officials' robes to showcase their rank. 

When you brew tea using this vessel in the Gong Fu Cha style, you create a concentrated brew that reflects the essence of the tea leaves. It's like unlocking a treasure trove of flavors and aromas. And, you can extract every bit of goodness from those tea leaves by adding hot water to them repeatedly. With high-quality teas, you can infuse the same leaves up to ten times or even more.

With each infusion, the tea undergoes a subtle transformation. The taste, color, and aroma – all evolve and shift, creating a dynamic tea experience. By savoring each infusion mindfully, you can appreciate the subtle nuances that arise. It's a sensory adventure that deepens your connection with the tea and heightens your tea appreciation.

Beautiful Gaiwan

I love the design and have had no problems with it. Good size for just myself or a small group.

Smooth operation

One day recently I saw a new email from Path of Cha. A nice coupon to use on my next order! I had been preparing an order so it was right on time. :) Found a slight issue with the code at checkout, easily handled by Misha personally. I am happy with the genuine level of care by all the good people involved to bring these teas and supplies to my home. With gratitude, thanks again. All good things to you... peace

Elegant, Meditative Gaiwan

I originally bought just the white crane tea cup, but the first time I used it, knew I had to have the matching gaiwan as well. Together they add another dimension to my tea drinking. Just seeing them sitting next to each other on my tea table makes me want to sit and brew tea. This gaiwan is taller and narrower than others I've had before and at first I was concerned that the tiny flat top of the lid would make it awkward to hold or pour, but it actually works very well: the weight of the stoneware and the flared rim of the gaiwan don't transmit heat to my finger tips. Its shape and weight are very comfortable to hold and pour. I would have preferred that the interior were white or cream colored like the cup, as I prefer to observe the color of the leaves and tea before pouring into a cha hai. Instead it's a (gorgeous) mottled blue-green. Perhaps I'll begin to pay more attention instead to the timing of each infusion. I also wonder why the crane of the gaiwan is smaller than the crane on the small cup. Ah well, more to ponder while I sip cup after cup. Soon I'll probably begin searching for a crane tea pet.

Love from the first sight

I bought this gaiwan with a matching cup and right away it became my favorite teaset. The material is thick enough to brew even with boiling water without burning fingers. But most importantly – it's beautiful 😊
Also, I have to mention Misha's attentiveness and the overall customer service. You guys are great! I'm very happy I found you:) Thank you 🙏🏻
