Material and practical advantages Porcelain is highly valued in practice because it is pure and neutral - it does not alter the character of the brewed tea. The white interior of the vessel is beneficial for observing the color of the infusion - you will appreciate this during tasting and comparing different teas. The wooden element on the lid makes handling more pleasant during pouring but requires slightly more delicate care than fully porcelain parts. The combination of materials creates a balanced set that is practical to use and pleasing to the eye. How to use the set - Briefly warm the gaiwan with hot water to stabilize the porcelain temperature. - Add the appropriate amount of loose leaf tea according to the type of tea and your taste. - Pour water at the appropriate temperature: green teas with cooler water, oolongs according to the specific type, and black teas with hotter water. - Cover with the lid and allow the tea to brew briefly. - Pour the ready infusion through the slightly tilted lid into the bowl or a "tea sea" vessel. A strainer is not needed - the lid holds the leaves during pouring. Care and maintenance We recommend gentle hand washing. After use, rinse the bowl, lid, and saucer with warm water and leave to dry completely. Do not use abrasive sponges or aggressive cleaning agents that could damage the porcelain surface or the wooden element. Avoid sudden temperature changes - for example, pouring boiling water into a very cold vessel. Do not soak the wooden element for long, and always dry it thoroughly after washing. Tip from Filip at Čajová zahrada For the first infusion, use a slightly shorter time than you are used to with a teapot. In the 100 ml gaiwan, the flavor develops faster - this will give you a cleaner, more distinct first infusion and allow you to better experiment with the timing of subsequent brews. The black exterior beautifully highlights the white interior, making it easy to assess even subtle differences in the infusion shade.
