Blue Mudan Easy Gaiwan with Stainless Steel Mesh Strainer

This is the first time I've ever used a gaiwan since I'm a bit of a tea newb, but even so it worked great. The design feels very comfortable and natural in the hand, and doesn't get hot even if you use near boiling water. The gaiwan is also for me personally just the right size since it holds just enough water for two small cups, one for me and one for my brother. The peony flower on the side is also very pretty in my opinion, and makes it much more interesting to look at. I haven't had much use for the strainer, though. I imagine it could be useful with something like a fukamushicha or other small/broken leaf tea but I've mostly been fine without it thus far.
