The Chinese are famous for their practical and beautiful inventions and a great example of their creativity is the Gaiwan tea cup. Gaiwan translates to mean "fitted bowl" or "fitted cup" and it is simply a wonderfully designed method of keeping hot beverages and soups at the perfect serving temperature for an extended time.

At MrsLinsKitchen we have selected some beautiful gaiwan pieces including the Gaiwan Connoisseurs teacup that is made with the special ceramic called CTS Liven China which is glazed with a mineral and oxide special formula that clarifies the flavor of all the liquids it comes in contact with and preserves the pure taste of the tea. You'll also want to browse through our auspicious porcelain gaiwan teacup selections such as the Phoenix and Dragon Gaiwan.

If you are a tea lover, you'll want to invest in these delightful teacups as they will prolong your tea experience and bring you much enjoyment. Imagine a perfect cup of steeped tea that delights your senses with a brief release of aroma and flavor as you slowly lift the lid to take a gentle sip. As a gift for a tea loving friend or boss, this teacup is both affordable and thoughtful and will be cherished by the lucky recipient.
