Tea Technique: Gaiwan Brewing

Feel free to make room in the cupboards right now: though there are myriad devices to brew tea, the simplest, and perhaps most elegant, is the gaiwan. It's a basic lidded cup, typically made from porcelain but also available in glass and even clay. There is no strainer—only the skill of your hand's steady grip as you tilt the gaiwan, allowing only tea, and not leaves, to pass between the gap between lid and bowl.
