Hi all,

On this page http://www.nobleharbor.com/tea/kungfu/teaware.html they show a
gaibei that looks exactly like a gaiwan. On the Shan Shui page
http://www.shanshuiteas.com/ under gaibei they show a handled cup with a
lid, that looks similar to a western type cup. My question...is gaibei a
very general term describing any cup with a lid whereas gaiwan is
specifically the little cup we all know and love? Or what's the difference?
Thanks.

Melinda
