A traditional Chinese gaiwan tea set made for Rare Tea in pure white ceramic porcelain.

With some help from our friends in China, we have created a kit for you to use at home or on the move. It comes carefully packed in a compact travelling case so you can always have it with you.

The set contains:

  • A smart padded travelling case with zip
  • A gaiwan teapot (100ml/4 fl oz) complete with lid
  • A serving jug (150ml/5.5 fl oz)
  • Six small tasting cups (20ml/1 fl oz each)
  • A mesh strainer

The set is elegant, strong, and even dishwasher-safe. The case measures 17cm x 14cm x 8cm.

Just want the teapot and don't need the cups or case? Feast your eyes on our Rare Tea Traditional Gaiwan Teapot.

The style of the jug varies between the two colours - please choose carefully!

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The pure white porcelain is so clean and minimal that it makes my morning tea feel like a ritual, and the gaiwan fits comfortably in one hand for easy pouring. I've been using it at my desk daily since it arrived, and the ceramic holds heat beautifully without getting too hot to touch.

Sophia P. ★★★★★

The pure white porcelain is so smooth and lightweight that it feels almost delicate, but it’s held up fine through daily use and dishwashing so far. I love that the gaiwan and cups nest together neatly, making it easy to brew a proper session even at my desk.

Penelope ★★★★★

The gaiwan sits perfectly in my palm, and the pure white ceramic lets me actually see the tea's color change as it steeps. It's become my go-to for solo brewing sessions, and the set packs up neatly enough that I've taken it on two trips already.
