I’ve now had a few days to enjoy this Gaiwan and it wonderful. It’s easy to use and enjoy. The brewer aperture is big enough to nose breathe those lovely aromas. It’s easy to hold when hot and has a well rounded cup too see the rich colours of your tea. The aromas drift up from the cup as you sip. This tea set invites you to saviour tastes and smells of your favourite teas. It’s a real pleasure to use and enjoy.
