{"product_id":"blue-gaiwan","title":"Blue Gaiwan - Gong Fu Cha Brewing Bowl","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA gaiwan is a traditional Chinese lidded bowl used for brewing whole leaf tea in the gong fu cha style — short, fast steeps with a high ratio of tea to water that allow you to taste each infusion as the flavor evolves. This blue ceramic gaiwan is a straightforward, well-designed entry point into that style of brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWorks especially well with puerh, oolong, and other premium whole leaf teas. Add your leaves, pour in hot water, use the lid to hold back the leaves as you pour, and repeat the process multiple times until the flavor fades. Each steep reveals something slightly different — it's a patient, rewarding way to get to know a tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA note on the strainer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The built-in strainer has a coarser mesh, so it works best with larger whole leaf teas. For finer cuts, pairing it with a separate fine-mesh strainer gives you a cleaner pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCups not included — we recommend our \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/lakemissoulateacompany.com\/product\/fuji-glass-tea-cup\/\"\u003edouble-walled glass cups\u003c\/a\u003e as a natural pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lake Missoula Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52418038858017,"sku":"T01-9908-BG","price":20.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/6373\/2513\/files\/blue-crackle-glaze-ceramic-gaiwan-with-lid.jpg?v=1775606290","url":"https:\/\/lakemissoulateacompany.com\/products\/blue-gaiwan","provider":"Lake Missoula Tea Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
