  • This exquisite Lamb Fat Jade Ask Buddha Gaiwan embodies aesthetic beauty and deep cultural significance. Renowned for its smooth milky-white texture and translucency, Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain resembles mutton fat jade — a precious form of nephrite highly valued in Chinese culture. Fired at a high temperature of 1380º Celsius, the Gaiwan achieves a matte silky finish that is visually appealing and pleasant to touch. Its non-porous surface is ideal for brewing a wide range of fine teas. The porcelain's translucency allows light to gently pass through, giving the Gaiwan a soft, ethereal glow that enhances the tea-drinking experience. 
  • Ask buddha resonates deeply within the practice of Gong Fu Cha and Zen traditions. In the context of Gong Fu Cha, which emphasizes the art of making tea with skill and mindfulness, the phrase serves as a reminder to approach tea with a clear, undistracted mind. It encourages the practitioner to be fully present in the moment, appreciate the tea's subtle complexities, and cultivate a deeper connection with the tea, the self, and the surrounding environment. 
  • This concept aligns with Zen practices, where mindfulness and presence are key principles. The act of brewing and drinking tea becomes a form of meditation, a way to ground oneself in the present moment and to find tranquility in simplicity. 
  • The Lamb Fat Jade Ask Buddha Gaiwan offers a beautiful tea experience. Its smooth surface allows the tea to flow effortlessly, and the material's heat retention properties ensure that the tea remains at the perfect temperature for extended enjoyment. The porcelain's slight translucency adds a touch of elegance, making each tea session feel special and meditative.

Quality gaiwan

This little guy isn’t going to slip around in the saucer; it’s very stable.
I use this guy almost every morning now. It’s a pleasure. Extremely happy to have this guy.

Best gaiwan in my collection

It fits extremely well in the hand of you have shorter fingers. It’s substantial without being heavy. I am still a beginner and occasionally burn myself on my other gaiwans, but have never had that problem with that with this guy.

Very nice Gaiwan

It travels across the planet and takes almost 20 days to get from China to NY. It was well packaged and the tracking was OK. I dont know if this is a great example of the art but it sure beats some of the prices I have seen for a "tea cup". I brew green tea and can finally see the leaves grow
