Hold the lid slightly offset to strain the leaves while pouring. For Gongfu-style brewing, use shorter repeated infusions so the changing aroma and flavor can be experienced across several steeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTea Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neutral White Jade and Floating Green styles are especially elegant with green tea, white tea and lightly oxidized oolong, while Red Agate creates a dramatic contrast with darker teas. Ink Wash has a restrained monochrome character that pairs beautifully with roasted oolong, black tea and aged white tea. These are aesthetic pairing suggestions rather than functional restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChinese Tea-Room \u0026amp; Home Styling\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the gaiwan on a dark wood, stone or bamboo tea tray for a refined Chinese tea-room presentation. The translucent liuli body works well with linen, natural timber, incense accessories, bonsai and simple ink-style art. Floating Green and Ink Wash are particularly suited to Neo-Chinese interiors, while Red Agate can serve as a stronger focal accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Design Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe “White Jade,” “Red Agate,” “Floating Green” and “Ink Wash” names describe the visual character of the liuli finish. They are design references rather than claims that the pieces are made from natural jade or agate. The San Cai form itself reflects the classic Chinese lid-bowl-saucer tea vessel tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads, hard impact and rapid extreme temperature changes. Subtle differences in flowing color, veining and translucency are part of the visual character of this style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these made from natural jade or agate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. They are liuli-style glass pieces designed with jade-, agate- and ink-wash-inspired visual effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach selection includes one lid, one gaiwan bowl and one matching saucer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow large is the gaiwan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 10cm wide × 10cm high with an approximate 170ml capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich style should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose White Jade for a clean minimal look, Red Agate for a bold warm statement, Floating Green for soft organic veining, or Ink Wash for a monochrome Chinese-art aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for Gongfu tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
