A pure white gaiwan is the best way to see and evaluate the color of the brewed tea. The lid of this gaiwan is slightly taller than a normal gaiwan, which helps prevent yourself from getting burned while pouring the tea out. Looking at the surface of the porcelain, you can see a nice luxurious wavy pattern that resonates perfectly with tea.
