Tea Lover Gift Guide
A porcelain tea gift should match the way someone actually drinks tea.
This updated guide uses current Porcelain Charm tea pieces: travel tea sets, Ru-kiln inspired gaiwans, matte black gaiwans, hand-painted koi, ice-crack celadon, and a playful porcelain cup.
For tea lovers, the safest gift is either a complete portable set or a gaiwan that fits their daily ritual. A gaiwan is a lidded tea bowl with a saucer. In plain words, it lets the drinker brew loose leaves directly and pour cleanly without needing a big teapot.
