Introduction
With so many beautiful tea sets out there, how do you choose the one that fits your lifestyle, brewing style, and aesthetic? At Gaiwan & Tea, we understand that the right tea set does more than serve tea — it enhances the whole experience.
What’s in a Tea Set?

-
A teapot or gaiwan
-
Matching cups
-
A fairness pitcher (cha hai)
