Falling Bamboo Gaiwan Set – Sancai Gaiwan – 150ml

More than just a brewing vessel, the Falling Bamboo Gaiwan is the centerpiece for a mindful tea practice. It embodies the same spirit of tranquility and resilience as its companion tea cups, serving as the heart of the complete Falling Bamboo collection. The hand-painted green bamboo motif flows gracefully across the fine white porcelain, transforming your tea session into a moment of calm reflection. With a standard 150ml capacity, it is perfectly sized for solo enjoyment or intimate Gongfu sessions with friends.

The Art of Bamboo: A Symbol of Elegance

In traditional Chinese culture, bamboo is a symbol of integrity, resilience, and elegant simplicity. Our Falling Bamboo series captures this essence. Each delicate stroke of the pale green leaves is painted by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike. This artistic touch doesn’t just decorate the porcelain; it infuses your tea ritual with a sense of nature and peace.

Designed for the Perfect Brew

Every element of this gaiwan is crafted for function and grace:

• High-Quality Porcelain: Made from fine porcelain that is fired at high temperatures, this gaiwan provides excellent heat retention. Its neutral material ensures that you taste the pure, unadulterated flavor of your tea, brew after brew.

• Classic Form & Control: The wide bowl allows tea leaves to fully unfurl and release their aroma. The flared rim offers a cool, comfortable grip, while the well-fitted lid provides precise control over the pour, making it easy to decant your tea smoothly and quickly.
