The Harmony of Science and Spirit
The Island Mist Gaiwan is more than a vessel; it is a precision instrument for the personal tea ritual. Finished in a pale, ocean-washed glaze with softened transitions, it evokes the atmospheric clarity of air, salt, and quiet coastal light while offering the durability of high-fired porcelain.
Designed for the Gongfu Cha Practitioner Whether you are a beginner learning to handle a lid bowl or a connoisseur testing vintage Puerh, this vessel offers:
Jingdezhen Artisan Legacy: Rooted in a thousand-year kiln tradition, each vessel is hand-finished by skilled potters. This authentic craftsmanship imparts a unique tactile warmth and distinct character that mass production cannot replicate.
Artisan Crackle Finish: The interior is finished with a traditional crackle glaze, adding visual depth and texture that shines through the tea liquor. This glazing technique mimics ancient kiln aesthetics, offering a stunning backdrop for inspecting the color and clarity of your brew.
The Perfect Ratio: A precision 100ml capacity yields the ideal amount of liquor to fill exactly 1.5 of our matching Elemental Teacups.
For tea lovers seeking a porcelain gaiwan for gongfu tea that balances precision, clarity, and ritual, the Elemental Gaiwan delivers depth infusion after infusion.
Optimal Gaiwan Brewing Parameters:
- Green Tea Temperature: 175°F (80°C) – Glazara porcelain dissipates excess heat rapidly to prevent bitterness.
- Oolong/Puerh: 205°F (96°C) – The density of this artisan gaiwan holds core heat for deep extraction.

A: Yes. The weighted balance and flared rim are specifically designed to stay cool to the touch, making it the easiest gaiwan for learning the Gongfu method without burning your fingers.
