About Us

Forward the favor

MindfulGaiwan is a social enterprise. We put people before profit, donating 15% of our project income to nonprofits that bring meditation and mindfulness to at-risk communities. Every act of support is a ripple of kindness passed forward.

What makes good porcelain?

Is it flawless technique? A beautiful shape? A charming story?
No single factor alone is enough.
In 2013, we began as a small tea and craft studio. After years of using tea ware, we saw the harm caused by low-quality ceramics—industrial glazes, fake origins, and misleading craftsmanship. That’s why we chose a different path: working directly with master kilns in Jingdezhen and other top porcelain ateliers in China. With transparent, traceable methods, we create gaiwans that bring calm to your hands and peace to your mind.

Safety is always our first priority.

Join us by supporting MindfulGaiwan—donate, partner, or make your next tea ritual meaningful.
Help mindfulness travel further—share our story, gift a gaiwan, or introduce us to your network.
