What Makes Xiaoxiangshui Special?

Before you buy
Before you buy this gaiwan
A gaiwan is one of the most direct Gongfu brewing vessels. It works best if you want clear leaf control, open aroma, and a very readable brew.
Check
Capacity, wall thickness, bowl shape, lid grip, and whether porcelain, glass, or clay suits your tea habits.
How to use
Start with smaller leaf amounts, hold the lid slightly open, and pour into a fairness pitcher or cups with a steady hand.
Care
Rinse after each session. Porcelain and glazed gaiwans are usually the easiest to keep neutral and clean.
