For Chinese tea drinking, gaiwan are considered essential tools for sampling tea.  These versatile utensils are used in Chinese tea ceremony and casual tea drinking alike. 

Perfect for tasting small samples of new teas, or for long numerous steeps. Gaiwan are most commonly used as teapots, holding the vessel with three fingers and slightly opening the lid to allow the tea to flow out while filtering out the leaves. The gaiwan can also be held on the dish and drunk out of like a teacup, using the lid to keep the tea leaves from going in your mouth.
