Bana Twin Quails Chinese Porcelain Gaiwan and Pu-erh Tea Sample
Gaiwans are used to brew tea in the traditional style of the Chinese Gongfu (Kungfu) Tea Ceremony.  Several successive brews of the tea are combined in a "fairness pitcher," (not included) which serves to average-out the several brews into a "fair" mixture.  The tea is then poured from the fairness pitcher into tea cups (also not included).   Alternatatively, tea can be drunk directly from the gaiwan, the lid used both to keep the tea warm and as a strainer to block the tea leaves when the tea mixture is being poured from the gaiwan.The dimensions of the gaiwan are 3.25 1/4 inches high and 3.5 inches wide.Bana Tea ships from the United States.
