What is a Gong Dao Bei (Glass Tea Pitcher)?
In traditional Chinese Gongfu Cha (Kung Fu Tea) culture, the Gong Dao Bei, also called the “Fairness Cup”, is an absolutely essential part of the brewing ritual. After steeping your tea leaves, all brewed tea is poured into this glass tea pitcher first to equalize both the concentration and temperature of the brew. This ensures every guest gets an equally flavorful cup of tea, perfectly embodying the ancient Chinese cultural value of fairness and hospitality.
