This is the small qingbai gaiwan I used. It weighs 120 gr with the saucer, 74 gr without. Its volume is 8.5 cl maximum and 6 cl normal. (It's made by a different factory as the singing cup, and the color is slightly lighter.) You will notice that the saucer isn't evenly round: it looks like 4 petals. Cute!Its small size is good for travel or for solitary tastings. If the gaiwan isn't filled to the top, it's even possible to empty it in just 1 qingbai singing cup.
A gaiwan lets you taste the tea as it is. It's a great tool to study tea.

That was lovely to watch. Thank you. It shows that you have a sensitivity to how special the tea experience is. In very culture that values tea, there are rituals and customs. But no matter what the customs are, they almost always require pleasant surroundings
Thank you again for posting your lovely video.
I'm glad you liked it!
Can you scoop up that gaiwan with one hand and pour from it? I've seen that done but it doesn't work well with each one.
I will show how to pour in another video. There are different ways to do so.
