Ideal for tea enthusiasts who cherish both functionality and design, this gaiwan features intricately embossed peony flowers, symbolizing wealth and honor in Chinese culture.

Using Your Peony Clay Gaiwan

The Peony Clay Gaiwan is designed to enhance your tea brewing experience. Begin by warming the gaiwan with hot water to prepare it for the tea leaves. Add a small amount of your chosen tea, pour hot water, and let the leaves steep. The clay's heat retention properties allow for a slow release of flavors, while the wide opening makes observing the tea leaves as they unfurl an easy task.

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the pristine condition of your Peony Clay Gaiwan, clean it gently after each use with warm water. Avoid using detergents that could damage the clay surface or the delicate peony designs. Dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and store in a safe place to avoid chipping.
