To serve, tilt the lid slightly to hold back the leaves and pour through the gap into the cups. The flared rim stays cooler than the bowl, so hold the gaiwan by the rim and lid knob. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is fencai (famille rose)?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFencai, known in the West as famille rose, is a soft, opaque overglaze palette developed in the Qing dynasty. Colors are applied over a fired white glaze and fired again at a lower temperature, which gives pinks, blues and greens a gentle, powdery tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gaiwan brews for two to four people per infusion. It suits beginners learning Gongfu tea and experienced drinkers who want a neutral vessel for oolong, green, white and black teas, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a tea lover. Pair it with small tasting cups and a fairness pitcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse the gaiwan with warm water after use and let it dry before storing. Avoid sudden hot-to-cold temperature changes, and hand wash to protect the glaze and decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 175 ml size suits one to three people and is easier to hold. The 225 ml size gives the leaves more room and serves three to four people per round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a gaiwan hard to use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes a few tries. Fill it about three-quarters full, hold the rim with your thumb and middle finger, keep the lid slightly open with your index finger and pour in one smooth motion. The flared rim stays cooler than the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with cups?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is the gaiwan only (see the photos and option for whether a saucer is included).
