Blue Blossom Gaiwan – 150 mL

Layered blue blossoms. A traditional three-piece form. A 150 mL gaiwan made for tea enjoyed one infusion at a time.

Bring a richer floral expression to traditional Chinese tea brewing with the Blue Blossom Gaiwan, a compact three-piece vessel designed for loose-leaf tea, smaller servings and repeated infusions.

The complete gaiwan includes:

1 × Lid · 1 × 150 mL Brewing Bowl · 1 × Matching Saucer

Soft and deep blue botanical motifs move across the light ceramic surface, creating layers of flowers and foliage while remaining within a restrained blue-and-white palette.

Three Pieces · One Traditional Brewing Form

A gaiwan consists of three essential elements.

The Lid

The lid covers the bowl while the tea infuses.

During pouring, it can be adjusted slightly to help keep larger leaves away from the pouring edge.

It can also hold aroma beneath its surface, making it useful for noticing how fragrance changes between infusions.

The Bowl

The bowl is where loose tea leaves meet hot water.

At approximately:

150 mL

it provides a comfortable personal brewing volume while remaining compact enough for repeated infusions.

The Saucer

The saucer supports the bowl and completes the traditional three-piece form.

Together:

Lid + Bowl + Saucer

create one of the most direct and versatile ways to prepare Chinese loose-leaf tea.

Why 150 mL Works So Well

At approximately:

150 mL

this gaiwan offers a little more room than smaller 100–125 mL personal vessels.

That makes it especially useful for:

• One-person tea sessions

• Two small tasting cups

• Larger-leaf teas

• Relaxed repeated infusions

• Tea drinkers who prefer a slightly more generous personal volume

The brewing rhythm remains:

Add Leaves → Add Water → Steep → Pour → Brew Again

The compact size still keeps the tea fresh from infusion to infusion.

Layered Blue, Quietly Refined

This gaiwan is richly decorated, but its colour palette remains restrained.

Instead of using many contrasting colours, the design stays within:

Soft Blue · Deep Blue · Light Ceramic Ground

Smaller blossoms sit between larger floral forms.

Leaves and botanical lines continue across the lid and bowl.

This creates:

Depth · Movement · Continuity

without relying on bright multicolour ornament.

Why the Blue-and-White Palette Works

The limited palette is important.

A dense floral design could easily feel visually heavy.

But blue-and-white keeps the composition controlled.

The light ground creates breathing space.

Soft blue adds gentler detail.

Deeper blue gives structure and contrast.

The visual formula becomes:

White = Space

Soft Blue = Grace

Deep Blue = Depth

That is what allows the gaiwan to feel richly decorated while remaining refined.

A Garden in Quiet Bloom

Flowers do not open all at once.

One petal appears.

Then another.

Gradually, the garden becomes full.

Tea unfolds in much the same way.

Water meets the leaves.

Aroma begins to rise.

The first infusion reveals one character.

The next reveals another.

The layered blossoms around the gaiwan echo that gradual unfolding.

Bloom Slowly · Brew Gently · Return to the Tea

A Direct Way to Experience Loose-Leaf Tea

A gaiwan keeps the tea close.

Lift the lid.

The leaves remain visible.

Notice the aroma.

Watch them open.

Pour.

Then return to the same leaves again.

This direct relationship between:

Leaves · Water · Time

is one of the main strengths of gaiwan brewing.

The 150 mL capacity provides enough space for the leaves to open while remaining compact enough for controlled repeated brewing.

Made for Repeated Infusions

Many traditional loose-leaf teas change noticeably over several infusions.

A simple session may move through:

First Infusion

Aroma begins to emerge.

Second Infusion

Leaves open further.

Later Infusions

Texture, sweetness and deeper flavour may continue to develop.

The exact progression depends on the tea.

The gaiwan simply gives you a clear way to follow those changes.

Brew · Notice · Return

Which Teas Work Well with This Gaiwan?

Oolong Tea

Aromatic & Layered

One of the strongest matches for a 150 mL gaiwan.

Oolong often responds beautifully to repeated shorter infusions.

White Tea

Gentle & Refined

A natural choice for observing whole leaves as they slowly open.

Black Tea

Warm & Aromatic

Chinese Black Tea can be prepared in smaller controlled infusions for a fuller but balanced cup.

Pu-erh Tea

Deep & Evolving

Pu-erh naturally suits repeated brewing and can change significantly across several infusions.

Green Tea

Fresh & Clear

Green Tea can also be prepared in a gaiwan with appropriate lower water temperature and infusion time.

Always adjust leaf amount, water temperature and infusion time according to the specific tea.

Both are approximately 150 mL, but their visual identities are very different.

Rich Floral · Traditional · Blue & White

Choose it when you prefer:

• Layered flowers

• More visible decoration

• Traditional botanical character

Frosted Blossom

Pine Branch

Blue Blossom vs. Mountains & Sea Gaiwan

Blue Blossom

Illustrated Botanical

Its identity comes from:

Layered floral pattern

Mountains & Sea

Sculptural Landscape

Its identity comes from:

Relief + Gradient Glaze + Kiln Transformation

The simple difference:

Blue Blossom → Decorative Pattern

Mountains & Sea → Material & Surface Craft
