The logo encompasses the history and vision of GAIWAN.

Gaiwan is a Chinese cup with a lid. Gaiwan has been used to brew tea for thousands of years, long before the invention of the teapot. Tea was discovered in China. Since then, the drink has spread all over the world and is an important part of many cultures. We value tradition and celebrate culture.

Inside the logo is an idealized gaiwan, which was constructed according to the golden ratio. Tea is a natural product. Construction according to the golden ratio is very common in nature. We choose to live in balance with nature.

The outer circle of the logo is decorated with 52 prongs symbolizing the 52 weeks of the year. The circle with the cross at the bottom was previously used as a symbol of the sun. The sun gives light and the power for tea to grow. You can enjoy tea both in cold winter and hot summer. We believe that tea can be enjoyed all year round.

Our origin is Hamburg, the logistic center for tea in Germany and all over Europe. Germany is also known for high quality standards worldwide. We blend and pack the tea in Hamburg. To emphasize the origin, the saying tea with each other is written in German on the left side of the logo. While in our western culture alcohol gets a lot of attention as a socialization drink, we believe that tea has much more power to bring people together. We believe in tea being a powerful socialization drink.

On the right side, the saying modern tea ceremony is noted. It is in English because we want to reach the whole world with our vision. And modern tea ceremony understand in the broadest sense as the celebration of the moment and the conscious enjoyment of life. We want to enrich your enjoyment with good tea and tea ware. Take time for yourself. Think about what you are doing. Or don't think and just enjoy. We believe in conscious enjoyment of the moment with tea.
