SUMMARY:Gaiwan Series | Foundation Class: Gaiwan Essentials (2026)
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. \n\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.

SUMMARY:Gaiwan Series | Master Class: Playing with Gaiwan (2026)
DESCRIPTION:This is part of our first class from the WAYS OF TEA PROGRAM – Gawiwan Series\,\nfor more detailed information\, please read here.\n \n4 hours (3h guided practice + 1h challenge) \nIn this master class\, the gaiwan becomes a vessel for exploration\, a precise yet playful tool: every pouring point\, angle\, and swirl writes a different story in the cup.\nYou will learn to map the gaiwan like a clock — exploring pours at 6/12\, 7/5\, and 3/9 o’clock — and experience how each sets the leaves into horizontal spins\, vertical spirals\, or a steady\, anchored infusion. Through guided experiments\, the same tea reveals multiple faces as you compare outcomes side by side. We will also match techniques to tea types\, building a practical compass for brewing oolong\, black\, and pu’er.\nThe session culminates in a live brewing challenge: each participant receives a tea they have not practiced before and must apply their skills to draw out its most vivid expression. A playful\, advanced\, and highly sensory way to integrate everything learned. \nWhat you will learn: \n\nMapping the Gaiwan: Treating the rim as a clock — practicing pours at 6/12\, 7/5\, and 3/9 o’clock\, and observing how each sets the leaves into horizontal spins\, vertical spirals\, or a steady\, anchored infusion.\nFlow & Pressure: How pouring height\, angle\, and lid control affect aroma release\, mouthfeel\, and clarity.\nExperiential Practice: Side-by-side tastings of the same tea under different pouring methods\, experiencing directly how technique reshapes flavor.\nTea-Specific Strategies: Matching pouring styles to tea types — oolong\, black\, pu’er — and developing a practical compass for adapting methods.\nFinal Challenge: Each participant brews an unfamiliar tea\, applying their skills to draw out its most vivid expression. A playful\, advanced\, and highly sensory way to integrate everything learned.\n\n  \nDesigned for: those who wish to walk the path from technique to artistry\, from familiarity to mastery\,
