How to brew with the gaiwan
Add leaves to the gaiwan, pour in hot water and cover. 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. The round tray gives the gaiwan and pitcher a stable, dry surface on any table.
What does "jade-white porcelain" mean?
Jade-white (sometimes called suet-jade) porcelain is a trade name used in Dehua, Fujian for a very white, slightly translucent porcelain with a soft, buttery glaze. It contains no jade; the name describes the look. Like other high-fired porcelain it does not absorb aromas, so it suits almost any tea.
Who it is for
This set serves two to six people. Pack it for the office, a hotel room, a road trip, a picnic or a campsite, or give it as a tea gift to someone who travels often. Bring your own loose leaf tea and hot water.
Care
Rinse every piece with warm water after use and let them dry completely before packing them into the case, so the case stays fresh. Avoid sudden hot-to-cold temperature changes, and hand wash to protect the decoration.
Frequently asked questions
Why persimmons?
Persimmon (shi) sounds like the word for matters in Chinese, so shi shi ru yi means may everything go as you wish. It is a popular New Year and celebration gift.
How many cups does one brew fill?
The largest vessel holds about 200 ml and each cup about 50 ml, so one brew fills roughly 4 cups. Gongfu-style tea is brewed in several short rounds, so the set easily serves two to six people.
Does the travel case protect the cups?
Yes. The pieces stack together and fit inside the padded case, which keeps them from knocking against each other in a bag or suitcase.

Care
Dry it after use, avoid leaving standing water inside, and let bamboo or wood trays air out fully.
