The gaiwan and cup are cream porcelain with a hand-painted purple swirl and a scatter of small dots, made in Dehua, Fujian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gaiwan is the lidded bowl you brew in, and the cup nests inside it so the whole set stacks into the pouch. The pouch is a deep purple fabric with gold flecks, a dark lining, a carry strap and a single bead toggle to close it. Everything you need to brew loose leaf tea at a desk, in a hotel room or on a campsite, as long as you have hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe swirl is brushed on by hand, so no two pieces have it in the same place. The set in the photo is a guide, not an exact match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGaiwan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePouch:\u003c\/strong\u003e lined brocade fabric with carry strap and bead toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e high white porcelain, underglaze hand-painted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dehua, Fujian, China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThis works well for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrewing proper loose leaf tea at work or while travelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomeone starting out with gongfu brewing who wants one small set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA gift that is complete on its own, nothing else to buy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are in Hobart, it is on the shelf at our Salamanca Tea Bar, so you can pick it up and have a look before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsing a gaiwan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut 3 to 5 g of leaf in the bowl, pour hot water, rest the lid slightly off centre and pour through the gap into your cup.
