Definition

A lidded tea bowl used for brewing tea.

colloquialdim sumfood

How it's used

Primarily associated with traditional dim sum culture, this vessel is specifically designed to keep tea leaves submerged and hot while allowing the drinker to sip without getting leaves in their mouth. It is distinct from a standard teapot because the lid is used to strain the tea as you pour or drink. You will often see it used in older, traditional teahouses rather than modern restaurants that prefer stainless steel pots.

Common phrases

tea served in a lidded bowl

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with a regular bowl, as the lid is an essential component for the brewing process. Using a bowl without a lid will not effectively keep the tea hot or allow for the proper straining technique.
