The Charm of Covered Bowls
Gaiwan is a tea set with a long history, which consists of three parts: the bowl, the cover and the tray. The gaiwan is not only elegant in appearance, but also practical. Using a gaiwan to brew tea allows for better control over the steeping time of the tea and maximizes the release of the tea's aroma and flavor. Many people enjoy making tea in a covered bowl because it provides a peaceful, relaxing experience.

Steps for making tea in a gaiwan
- Preparing Tea Set: First of all, you need to prepare a clean covered bowl, a teapot and a teacup. Make sure that all the tea utensils are clean so that the flavor of the tea is not affected by other impurities.
- thermos flask: Before using a gaiwan to make tea, warm the gaiwan and tea cups with hot water. This not only cleans the tea set, but also raises the temperature of the tea set, making the brewed tea more flavorful.
- Tea.: Depending on the type of tea and personal taste, put the right amount of tea leaves into the gaiwan. Generally speaking, the amount of tea leaves used to make tea in a gaiwan is less than that of a teapot because the capacity of a gaiwan is relatively small.
- brewing: Pour hot water into a lidded bowl, cover and let it sit for a few minutes. The brewing time depends on the type of tea and personal preference. Green teas usually only need to be brewed for one to two minutes, while oolong and pu-erh teas take longer.
- taste tea: Pour the tea into a teacup and savor it. The design of the covered bowl makes the tea not too strong and the taste softer.
