Heart Sutra & Lotus Artistry

• Finely engraved Buddhist Heart Sutra across the gaiwan body — clear, detailed lines with meticulous brushwork
• Lotus design on the lid — simple, elegant, and spiritually resonant
• The lotus and sutra correspond in meaning: purity, wisdom, and the letting go of attachment
• Available in Purple Clay and Red Clay — each with its own warmth and character

The Gaiwan Tradition

The gaiwan (covered cup) has been used in China since around 1350. Consisting of a saucer, bowl, and lid, it is one of the most versatile and beloved vessels in the Chinese tea tradition.

• Brew and drink from the same vessel, or use as a teapot and decant into a fair cup or tasting cups
• Suitable for all tea types: green, white, oolong, black, pu-erh, and herbal
• The lid acts as a natural strainer — hold cup and saucer together and tilt to drain
• Rinse leaves first, inhale the aroma, then brew fresh for the fullest flavor

Yixing Zisha Clay

• Made from genuine Yixing clay — natural adsorption properties that enhance tea flavor over time
• High-temperature fired for durability, heat retention, and a refined surface texture
• With continued use, the clay develops a deeper character and subtle tea fragrance
