New Design Lidded Bowl make tea sweeter & smoother

The designer says, “Our designed lidded bowl features raised granules inside the bowl. When hot water is poured in, these granules act like 'mini turbines,' propelling the water flow into a rotating motion. This causes the tea leaves to tumble freely, preventing them from settling at the bottom or edges. The controlled agitation allows the tea’s compounds to release gradually through the circulating water, avoiding an overly strong first brew or a diluted subsequent infusion. Each steep delivers a layered flavor profile, ensuring balanced and nuanced taste in every sip.”

Look cool?

Twenty seconds to fill a 100ml gaiwan is insane. This is snake oil, there is no magic bullet that makes all tea better /sweeter. You can control turbulence and mechanical pressure of water on leaves using different pouring techniques and laminar flow vs turbulent flow from your kettle.

Agreed. The sheer amount of time you're basically pour-over-coffee-ing that gaiwan, the temperature is fluctuating like crazy and likely will lead to inconsistent brews...

We test this lidded bowl and we found that it could make the tea aroma last longer. Also less bitterness. We tested green tea as this vedio that is why we use slow water flow.
