Gaiwan literally translates from Chinese as “cup and saucer”. Each element performs its assigned role.
- Lid. It is intended to perform several functions. When turning it over, you can follow the process of brewing tea, stir the drink, saturating it with oxygen. With the help of the lid, it is determined how high-quality and fresh the drink is, since the aroma remains on it. The lid is used as a filter. If it is properly positioned, tea leaves cannot get into the drink.
- Saucer. It acts as a thermoregulatory element, and spilled liquid remains in it. It makes holding the container as convenient as possible. You can put tea leaves on a saucer if they interfere with drinking.
- Bowl. It is in it that the drink is brewed. In addition, it can replace a bowl or measuring container.
