{"product_id":"ceramic-gaiwan-painted-150ml","title":"Ceramic Gaiwan, 150ml. Hand-Painted Hydrangea","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA softly beautiful lidded brewing vessel in warm cream ceramic, hand-decorated with clusters of white hydrangea in full bloom against dark green leaves and slender branches. The design carries a quiet sense of late spring and early summer. In East Asian floral symbolism, the hydrangea is associated with gratitude, sincerity, and understanding, its rounded clusters suggesting harmony and abundance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe gaiwan is at the heart of Gong Fu Cha, where short, successive infusions let a single tea reveal itself across many small cups. Its three simple parts (bowl, lid, and saucer) give you full control: fill with hot water, cover briefly, then tilt the lid to pour off the liquor while holding back the leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe warm ceramic body gives this piece a softer, more grounded feel than its porcelain counterparts. Well suited to darker teas such as ripe pu-erh, aged whites, roasted oolongs, and full-bodied blacks, where a little warmth in the vessel echoes the character of the tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150ml, a classic single-person Gong Fu size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic, hand-painted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse with warm water after use.
