SUMMARY:Gaiwan Series | Foundation Class: Gaiwan Essentials
DESCRIPTION:This is part of our first class from the WAYS OF TEA PROGRAM – Gawiwan Series\,\nfor more detailed information\, please read here.\n \n3h course\, beginning with an introduction to the gaiwan’s history\, symbolism\, and design — from the classic round bowl to the distinctive “horse-hoof” form\, and from porcelain to clay\, exploring how shapes and materials influence flavor and aroma. Building on this\, the session moves into practical training in the fundamentals: how to hold\, tilt\, and pour with ease. It also introduces the basics of water lines\, pouring points\, and height — simple adjustments that can already shift the tea’s character. These glimpses serve as an entry into the more advanced techniques developed in the Master Class. \nWhat you will learn: \n\nHistory & Culture: The origins and evolution of the gaiwan\, and how it differs from Western teaware in both function and symbolism.\nForm & Material: How porcelain\, clay\, and glass affect aroma and taste; exploring shapes from the classic rounded base to the distinctive “horse-hoof” form.\nPractical Foundations: How to hold\, tilt\, and pour with ease; how to manage water lines\, pouring angles\, and height to influence flavor.\nSneakpeek for Advanced Practice: A first glimpse of zhuan cha (leaf swirling)\, showing how subtle movements already shift the tea’s character — leading naturally to the explorations of the Master Class.\nReflection: Guided tasting and group discussion on how the gaiwan can serve as both daily tool and mindful ritual.\n\n  \nPerfect for: beginners and curious tea lovers\, as well as those already familiar with the gaiwan who wish to uncover overlooked details.
