Bana Bone China Gaiwan (Chinese Traditional Tea Cup Comprised of Cup, Saucer and Lid - Made of Fine Bone China) and Pu-erh Tea Samples

The "Gaiwan," comprised of a tea bowl, a saucer and a cover, has been the preferred vessel to brew and serve tea in China since the Ming Dynasty. The gaiwan can be used to brew tea prior to transfer to smaller gungfu-style containers for consumption or the tea may be sipped directly from the bowl. Bana Tea Company's Gaiwan is made of refined alabaster-white bone china that is strong and highly translucent. The dimensions of the gaiwan are: 4" wide x 3 1/2" tall.
