What is a Gong Dao Bei?
A Gong Dao Bei (literally ‘Justice Fair Cup’, also called a tea pitcher) is an essential part of traditional Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony. After steeping tea leaves in your teapot, you pour all brewed tea into the Gong Dao Bei to equalize tea strength, strain loose tea leaves, and portion equal portions to every guest, ensuring every sip tastes identical. This pitcher is not just a functional tool, it adds authentic traditional charm to any tea ritual.
