Technical details
Rustic Ceramic Tea Set with Gaiwan
This 8-piece ceramic tea set is built around a gaiwan infuser, the traditional lidded cup used for steeping and sipping loose-leaf tea the old-fashioned way. The rustic green glaze gives each piece that satisfying handcrafted feel. The set is designed for loose-leaf brewing and includes everything you need to serve tea for a small gathering. Hand wash is recommended to preserve the glaze and finish over time. Not intended for stovetop use.
The Benefit
Tea Time That Actually Feels Like Tea Time
There is something that happens when you sit down with a proper ceramic tea set, and I am not just talking about the tea. The whole ritual slows you down, honey. You stop rushing. You actually taste what is in your cup. This rustic green ceramic set with its gaiwan infuser brings that quiet, grounding moment right into your kitchen, every single morning if you want it.
Craft & Materials
Ceramic Gaiwan Set Built to Last
Well now, let me tell you what you are actually getting here. Eight pieces, all in ceramic, all wearing that warm rustic green glaze that looks like it came straight out of a tea house tucked somewhere lovely. The gaiwan infuser is the heart of the set, a traditional lidded brewing cup that loose-leaf tea drinkers swear by, and between you and me, once you try it, you will wonder what took you so long.
In Use
Steep, Sip, and Breathe for a Moment
Picture this: you spoon your loose leaves into the gaiwan, pour your hot water over them, set the lid just so, and wait. That is it. No fussing with paper filters, no plastic pods, no nonsense. You pour into your cup, the glaze catches the morning light, and you sit down. Mind you, the whole set is right there on the table looking beautiful, which does not hurt one bit.
Everyday Proof
Practical Enough for Every Morning
Hold on now, before you worry this is one of those sets you only bring out for guests, it is not. The ceramic is sturdy, the green glaze hides the little marks that daily use leaves behind, and the gaiwan format means you are not wrestling with a complicated setup before your first sip. It cleans up easily by hand, and it sits on your counter looking like it belongs there. Believe me, that matters.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
What exactly is a gaiwan and how do I use it?
A gaiwan is a traditional lidded ceramic cup used to steep and serve loose-leaf tea. You add your leaves, pour hot water in, place the lid on top, and after a short steep you tilt the lid slightly to hold back the leaves while you pour. It is simpler than it sounds, I promise.
Can I use this tea set on the stovetop to heat water?
No, this ceramic set is not suitable for stovetop use. Heat your water separately in a kettle, then pour it into the gaiwan for steeping. Ceramic and direct heat do not get along, and you worked too hard for your money to find that out the hard way.
How do I clean the ceramic pieces without damaging the glaze?
Hand washing is recommended to keep the rustic green glaze looking its best over time. A gentle rinse with warm water right after use does most of the work. Skip the dishwasher if you want this set to stay beautiful for years rather than months.
How many pieces are included and what are they?
The set includes 8 pieces in total, built around the gaiwan infuser. Everything you need to brew and serve loose-leaf tea comes in the box. The full contents are shown in the product listing, so you know exactly what you are getting before you order.
Is this set good for someone just starting out with loose-leaf tea?
Absolutely, dear. The gaiwan is one of the most forgiving and straightforward ways to brew loose-leaf tea, and the full set means you are not piecing things together from scratch. It is a lovely starting point, and seasoned tea drinkers will appreciate it just as much.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
