Enamel Porcelain Dragon Phoenix Gaiwan

The Enamel Porcelain Dragon Phoenix Gaiwan features a vibrant yet refined enamel color, with a dragon relief effect that offers a tactile concave and convex sensation when touched. The bowl cover is comfortable to hold and is embellished with gold techniques, enhancing its nobility and elegance. The body of the Gaiwan is delicate and light, with coordinated glaze colors. The bright and delicate glaze, combined with transparent porcelain, creates a striking appearance. The jade white inner glaze beautifully highlights the tea, making it appear bright and light.

The Gaiwan (Mandarin for covered cup, "zhong" or “cha chung" in Cantonese) has been used in China since around 1350. It consists of a saucer, bowl, and lid, which are designed to be used together. To brew tea with the Enamel Porcelain Dragon Phoenix Gaiwan, first place the tea in the bottom of the Gaiwan. Pour in enough boiling water to come just under halfway up the cup, then immediately drain off the water by holding the cup and saucer together, using the lid as a strainer to hold back the leaves. Once the leaves are rinsed, uncover them and inhale the aroma. Next, pour fresh boiling water into the Gaiwan, not directly onto the leaves but down the inside of the cup to set the leaves swirling at the bottom. You can then drink the tea directly from the Gaiwan or pour it into a fair cup to cool it.

The Enamel Porcelain Dragon Phoenix Gaiwan is a wonderful brewing method for any type of tea, as long as you carefully monitor the water temperature and brewing time. The tea can be brewed and drunk from the same vessel, or alternatively, the Gaiwan can be used as a teapot, with the tea decanted into a small pitcher or individual tasting cups.
