The Science of Fragrance: The Imperial Blossom Aroma-Concentrating Gaiwan

January 23, 2026

Mastering the sensory art of the steep with the GOSEUNG Heritage Collection.

In the world of fine tea, the vessel is as critical as the leaf. At GOSEUNG, our design philosophy is simple: "Luxury is not in excess—it’s in the quiet perfection of form." This is perfectly embodied in our Imperial Blossom Aroma-Concentrating Gaiwan, a piece engineered to transform a simple cup of tea into a multi-sensory journey.

Form Follows Fragrance

Unlike standard steeping vessels, the Aroma-Concentrating Gaiwan features a specialized silhouette. The 9.3cm wide mouth and curved body are meticulously balanced to trap and intensify the volatile aromatic compounds of your tea. As the steam rises, it carries the concentrated scent to the flared rim, allowing you to experience the full olfactory profile of high-mountain oolongs or delicate jasmine pearls before the first sip.

Artisanal Texture & Imperial Heritage

The exterior is finished in a high-saturation Imperial Yellow glaze, a color historically reserved for prestige and vitality. What sets this piece apart is its organic, stone-like texture, providing a modern tactile feel and a superior grip during the pour. Subtle, hand-painted floral accents decorate the surface, ensuring that each 128g vessel is a unique work of artisanal craft.
