Bone China Craftsmanship

• Firing Process: Low-temperature bisque firing followed by high-temperature glaze firing (~1200°C)

• Appearance: Smooth milky-white glaze with a fine, delicate texture

• Double Firing: First fired unglazed for shape stability, then glazed and refired at high temperatures — a complex process with a relatively low yield

• Translucency & Tone: When thin, the body is translucent due to bone ash content. When tapped, it produces a crisp, bell-like sound

How Bone China Affects Tea Flavor

Advantages:

• Neutral & Stable: The chemically inert glaze doesn’t absorb aroma or flavor, making it ideal for highly aromatic teas such as oolong and dancong. Preserves fragrance clarity and detail.

• Fast Heat Dissipation: Thin walls release heat quickly, which prevents delicate green and white teas from over-steeping. Keeps the brew fresh and clean.

Limitation:

• Weaker Heat Retention: Not ideal for teas that require prolonged high temperatures (e.g., aged pu-erh), unless poured promptly.

Recommended Teas for This Bone China Gaiwan

1. Aromatic Oolong Teas

(e.g., Wuyi rock oolong, Dancong, Tie Guan Yin)
✅ Non-absorbent glaze preserves floral, fruity, and roasted aromas
✅ Quick heat dissipation prevents excessive volatilization of aromatic compounds

2. Tender Green Teas

(e.g., Longjing, Biluochun)
✅ Cools quickly to prevent scalding delicate buds, preserving freshness
✅ Smooth glaze enhances the sweet, umami-rich character of the liquor

3. High-Grade Young White Teas

(e.g., Silver Needle, White Peony)
✅ Neutral surface keeps the natural honeyed and floral notes intact
✅ Light glaze highlights the golden hue of the brew and the fine downy buds

4. Sweet-Scented Black Teas

(e.g., Jin Jun Mei, Dianhong)
✅ Locks in sweet and honeyed aromas for a fuller taste
✅ Translucent body enhances visual clarity—“golden rings” appear more vibrant

Conclusion

This bone china gaiwan is the perfect match for aromatic, delicate, and flavor-focused teas. It combines non-absorbency, quick cooling, and clarity to bring out the true character of each brew.
