what about an ali one
just whatever you do, don't get a glass gaiwan from anywhere - glass will be too hot to handle
ali is probably okay
the one I got chinked on size from ali is a bit on the thin side
but it still works
and I got my money back
hmm
i have a gaiwan
but its not the traditional one liek yours
its like this
is it one of the "easy gaiwans"
and the sides get too hot to handle
so i dont use it much
does your gaiwan get real hot
even the knobs you pick it up by?
i tend to drink as soon as i steep it
yes
the knobs get hot
thats the problem
if the knobs werent hot itd be perfect
i drink my tea v hot
so i dont mind the tea being super hot
i just cant handle it is all
so i have the strainer that i use which is easy i guess
but i wish i could use glass or porcelain or somethin not plastic
Just tested, doesn't get too hot
just got to be careful with lid positioning
gap should be wide enough to pour, but not open at the end close to your hand
or steam will rise
oh ok thats cool
do you transfer to another cup?
or doyou drink directly from the gaiwan
oh yeah, brew in the gaiwan, pour into a cup
ah ok
you should get one like @transience has, should be better on your fingers if you hold at the top
cool cool
yep
because of the edges
i think i might get one
