Many tea lovers have experienced burns when using Gaiwan to make tea.

Especially for those who are new to Gaiwan Tea Set, their fingers tend to turn red every time they make tea.

This article will focus on some details of using Gaiwan Tea Set, including some practical tips, common mistakes and precautions.

So, how can you avoid burning your hands when using Gaiwan to make tea?

The answer lies in minimizing the amount of heat transferred from the water to your hands.

Regarding this core issue, when purchasing and using Gaiwan Tea Set, please be sure to pay attention to the following details to avoid scalding caused by using Gaiwan to make tea.

1.About the purchase of Gaiwan Tea Set

When purchasing a gaiwan tea cup, we should decide the size of the gaiwan according to the size of our palm.

Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to choose a Gaiwan with a capacity of about 110 ml.

A Gaiwan that is too large will be too heavy to hold after being filled with water and may easily slip out of your hand.

A gaiwan tea cup that is too small will cause hot water to overflow more easily, and your fingers may come into direct contact with the hot water when the tea is poured out, causing injuries.

In addition to considering whether the size of Gaiwan is appropriate, the design style of Gaiwan is also worthy of our attention.

When pouring soup, we usually touch the edge of the bowl and the lid button (the raised part on the lid) of the Gaiwan, so these two parts become the key to preventing burns.

In order to extend the heat conduction time of the Gaiwan tea cup, when purchasing Gaiwan, we should choose a style with a relatively wide bowl edge, because a narrow bowl edge will not only accelerate the "heating fast" phenomenon, but also easily cause fingers to be contaminated with hot water.

By the same token, the height of the lid of the gaiwan teapot should also be moderate, not too high or too low. Only a moderate lid can effectively block the heat transferred by the gaiwan.

Of course, when buying a gaiwan teapot, in addition to paying attention to factors such as the capacity, bowl edge and lid button of the gaiwan teapot, it is best to try it yourself in order to choose the gaiwan that best suits your needs and will not burn your hands.

2.About the use of gaiwan tea cup

Although we have selected the gaiwan tea cup that suits us, there are still some things that need to be paid attention to during the actual operation.

First of all, when making tea, the amount of water should not be too much, otherwise it will not only accelerate the temperature rise of the edge of the bowl, but also may cause direct scalding by hot water after picking up the Gaiwan, and this scalding is often not easy to detect.

Secondly, the sitting time of the cup is also a focus we need to pay attention to.

As one of the three major elements of tea brewing in Gaiwan Tea Set, the longer the sitting time, the higher the temperature of the gaiwan teapot.

Therefore, after pouring water, we should pour the tea into the fairness cup as soon as possible while ensuring the taste of the tea.

Taking Wuyi Rock Tea as an example, we usually recommend that you adopt the brewing method of "brewing with boiling water quickly", which can not only fully release the aroma of the tea, but also greatly reduce the incidence of scalding accidents.

The third point to note is that when using the Gaiwan Tea Set, the thumb and middle finger should not touch the outer wall of the Gaiwan, just hold the edge of the bowl tightly;

When the index finger is holding the lid button, it does not need to be too close to the inner surface of the lid button, just play a fixing role.

Finally, when pouring out the tea, you don’t need to completely open the lid of the gaiwan tea cup, just make sure the tea can flow out smoothly.

If the opening is too large, the hot steam from the tea leaves will be discharged from the gap at the rear end and burn your palms.
