Product Specifications

• Material: Lapis Lazuli Gemstone Porcelain — High-fired porcelain infused with mineral glazes that replicate the intense Royal Blue and golden pyrite flecks of natural Lapis Lazuli stone.

• Design Type: Sancai (Three Talents) — A traditional set consisting of a Lid (Heaven). Bowl (Human). and Saucer (Earth).

• Special Feature: Hover Design (悬停) — An engineered lid-and-rim geometry that allows the lid to hover or balance securely at an angle. facilitating effortless pouring and precise steam venting without burning your fingers.

Key Features and Craftsmanship

• Lapis Lazuli Glaze: The deep blue finish is symbolic of wisdom and truth. Each piece features subtle variations in tone and texture. giving it the appearance of a polished gemstone.

• Precision Hover Engineering: Unlike standard gaiwans that can be slippery when wet. the Hover design uses surface tension and a specifically weighted lid to create a locked pouring position. This ensures a steady. leaf-free stream of tea.

• Non-Absorbent Porcelain: The high-density interior ensures that the gaiwan does not absorb tea oils or aromas. This makes it perfect for tasting and switching between delicate Green teas. aromatic Oolongs. and bold Black teas.

• Ergonomic Flared Rim: The wide. outward-curving rim (Pie Kou) is designed to stay cool. providing a comfortable grip even when the water inside is at a rolling boil.

Why Choose the 170ml Size?

• Evaluation Grade: 170ml is the preferred volume for professional tea tasters. providing enough liquor to fill several tasting cups while allowing the tea leaves enough space to fully unfurl.

• Temperature Control: The larger body retains heat longer than miniature versions. which is essential for the proper extraction of aged Pu-erh or roasted Oolong teas.

Maintenance and Care

• Hand Wash Only: To preserve the brilliant Lapis Blue glaze and the precision-fit Hover edges. avoid using abrasive scrubbers or dishwashers.

• Immediate Rinse: Always rinse with hot water immediately after your tea session. This prevents tea stains from settling on the gemstone-like surface.

• Handling: While durable. porcelain is sensitive to thermal shock. Pre-warm the bowl with warm water before adding boiling water to ensure longevity.
