Ice Crack Gaiwan Tea Cup Set with Lid & Saucer 140ml
Ice Crack Gaiwan – Traditional Ge Kiln Ceramic Tea Brewing Set
Steeped in over 600 years of Chinese tea culture, the Ice Crack Gaiwan is the quintessential vessel for gongfu-style brewing. Crafted in the revered Ge Kiln tradition, its signature ice-crack glaze (bing lie wen) creates a mesmerizing web of fine lines across the ceramic surface — each piece uniquely patterned by the kiln's heat.
Hold the saucer, tilt the lid, and let the leaves unfurl. Inhale the first rinse. Pour fresh water down the inside wall and watch the leaves swirl. This is tea as ritual.

How to Brew with a Gaiwan
Add tea leaves to the bowl. Pour boiling water to halfway, then immediately drain through the lid to rinse the leaves. Inhale the aroma. Refill with fresh hot water poured gently down the inside wall. Steep, then sip directly or decant into a fair cup. Repeat for multiple infusions.
