What is Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gongfu tea ceremony, the Gong Dao Bei (also called a glass tea pitcher or tea海) is an essential fairness pitcher. After steeping tea leaves in a teapot, all brewed tea is poured into this pitcher first to equalize the tea’s concentration and flavor before dividing it into small teacups — this ensures every guest gets the same perfect cup of tea, embodying the Chinese principle of fairness in tea culture.
