What’s a Mo Yin Gaiwan?
The Mo Yin Gaiwan is a type of Chinese gaiwan known for its elegant and earthy finish. The term "Mo Yin" translates roughly to "inkstone" or "ink jade," referring to the smooth, matte texture that resembles the surface of an inkstone. This style is prized in Chinese tea culture for its simplicity, creating a connection with the essence of the tea itself.
A Mo Yin Gaiwan is typically used for Gong Fu tea ceremonies, providing a refined method for brewing loose leaf tea. Its minimalist design emphasises the beauty of the tea and enhances the overall experience, allowing tea leaves to unfurl freely and infuse fully.
This gaiwan will bring the essence of traditional craftsmanship into your tea ritual. Its unique design, durable material, and sensory experience make it a perfect addition to any tea lover's collection.
