How to Use a Gaiwan
Tea cups and teapots
I confess: I’ve never used a gaiwan.
But this excellent video by MarshalN explains the basic technique of brewing tea with a gaiwan, without delving into overly complicated ideas. If, like me, you’re new to gaiwans, this video should give you the crash course you’re looking for.

Awesome, I was looking for gaiwan related stuff after buying one this morning! Can’t wait to try it out, thanks for posting this!
BTW, I got mine for $2.59 USD in LA Chinatown, enamel inside and clay exterior, about 4oz capacity.
