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 blue-and-white porcelain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue-and-white is the classic Chinese porcelain style: cobalt-blue motifs on a white glaze. On this set the blue pattern is fired onto the porcelain, so it stays clear and does not wear off with normal hand washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gaiwan brews for two to three 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\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).
