Perfect for drinking

Wednesday, 20 January 2016 | Christopher

This is a lovely Gaiwan - great feel, and the lid fits nicely.

It is smaller than I'd expected, so am not able to use it as the 'pot' while drinking loose tea like I'd hoped - but this is entirely clear in the description, I just didn't read it properly!

Very happy with my purchase anyway.

Great Gaiwan

This seemed the classiest looking Gaiwan I found at a reasonable price, and in traditional Yixing Clay too, so should improve with use. Arrived in immaculate condition, well wrapped. I've already bought a second as a present. Now to work on my pouring technique...
