Gaiwan is the best type of pot for tea brewing, and it's also the easiest to use. Tea ball brewing is a more modern method, but it's harder to make perfect cups. Gongfu teapot brewing is the most traditional and difficult method. Which method is the best for you? Watch the video to find out!

Learning about gaiwans made my tea experience so much easier. The bigger the leaf, the better.

For sure, tiny leaves are not the friend of gaiwans. 😅

I learned to pick up the hot gaiwan by its saucer, then use my thumb to slide the lid back while I sip. One hand, hot tea, simple!😊

@adamarzo559 4 месяца назад

Definitely agree with a gaiwan over a teapot for people new to tea. Especially if you're brewing different types, like oolong, puerh, purple etc. You don't really(in my opinion) want to mix all those teas into the same pot. The clay essentially gets seasoned with the tea you're brewing in it and you really want to have tea specific pots. Ideally you're have a ripe/raw pot and then an oolong pot, etc. The first method for pouring the gaiwan is my favourite. I like to hold the bottom with my ring and pinkie for extra stability. Also for new people, beware of the steam when pouring, it's got me more than once.... Great video, tea is awesome and everyone should experience some good Chinese tea in their lifetime. So glad I discovered the world of Chinese tea, so so glad.

A simple porcelain gaiwan is equivalent to a universal remote for tea. Its suitable for literally any kind of tea, and they're stupidy simple to clean and use even if it takes a small learning curve to use it efficiently.

@b.c.9358 4 месяца назад

Hey man your explanation of the parts of the gaiwan was really good. Your Chinese pronunciation was also pretty good, I'm glad you're bringing this up to people who have never used gaiwans before.

Today I learned that my great grandmother kept her sugar for her coffee in a Gaiwan.

I mean honestly why not right. She probably has a $1000 Qing dynasty gaiwan for her sugar. 😂

Uhm, did I miss the third type of Gaiwan? It looks like you missed a part in between the second type and the end of the third type.

@IO-zz2xy 3 месяца назад

Too small for me. I like my tea HOT so need a big mug with a handle. I do use "loose leaf" but here in South Africa the "loose leaf" is just teabag tea in a box. Proper loose leaf tea is not available here now and if found is so expensive as to be unaffordable. Regards from South Africa

@danielyork3406 3 месяца назад

I ordered one recently from Tenmokus, and ever time it seems to dribble down the side

@JamesWilson-mi2qo 5 месяцев назад

I dont know what mine tea set up would be called. It is ceramic without a handle, but has two ceramic protrusions on either side near the top, adjacent to the "spout". The "spout" is covered by ceramic perferation. Half the top is uncovered, half by this peferation near the spout. I wish i could show a picture but i have not seen another like it

@TaoTeaware 5 месяцев назад

That sounds like a hand grasp pot. In Chinese a shou zhua hu. Other times in English called an easy gaiwan. On our website we have the Lone Wolf which is one of these. I’d be curious if it’s the same thing or not. 😄

Who that drinks tea more seriously (ie high quality loose leaf) doesn't know what a gaiwan is? It's literally like one of the first things you see used for high quality tea at Asian tea shops.

@CrestialWintersmith 4 месяца назад

Problem with gaiwan is that it's too hot for me to hold it because I drink black tea. 😭

@TaoTeaware 4 месяца назад

You’re probably filling it a bit too high. 🤓

@wreagin1 11 месяцев назад

This feels like a commercial for a tool that does a thing no one asked for making the other options look silly by using them wrong. Great video dart. Just take your teapot to the sink.

@TaoTeaware 11 месяцев назад

😂😂 to the sink I go

@Ostvchannel 4 месяца назад

One thing that I stress when brewing that the gaiwan does amazing that most other vessels can’t really match is that it gives the leves plenty of room to expand. This allows for a more full and complete flavor and even textured brew. Bringing out some of the hidden notes and even weight of the broth/liquor. This cannot happen so easily in most other brewing tools. And that is why I will use a gaiwan 99% of the the time to steep. 🫶🏽

Can you drink directly from the teapot the way you can with this type of tool? I think you’re missing the point lol, options exist for people who aren’t you
