Gaiwan - A versatile teaware to step-up your tea experience. Tasting dancong oolong and green tea.
How to use a gaiwan (蓋碗) or lidded bowl for tea brewing from a tea enthusiast. I'm not a tea master, but I wanted to do a different kind of video after recently adding to my gaiwan collection.
Gaiwans have been used for centuries for brewing or drinking tea. It's a very versatile piece of teaware. They come in a range of styles and sizes, you can get very inexpensive ones or handmade one of kind pieces.
In this video I wanted to highlight the use of a gaiwan when drinking tea.
I also wanted to share some new teas I recently bought:
Ginger Flower Dancong Oolong tea from Pekoe and Imp (https://www.pekoeandimp.com/)
Longjing Dragonwell Green Tea from a new local tea supplier Harvest Qi teas (harvestqitea.ca).
I also brewed some Buddha's Hand oolong, strip style tea that I had purchased from my favourite Taiwanese tea shop in Toronto, Cha Gloriette.
Thanks for watching!
