What Is a Tea Pitcher (Gongdao Bei)?
In traditional Chinese gongfu cha (tea art), the tea pitcher (also called Cha Hai or Gongdao Bei) is an essential part of every full tea ceremony. After steeping tea leaves in your teapot, you pour all finished tea into this pitcher to equalize concentration before dividing into individual teacups, guaranteeing every guest gets perfectly balanced tea with consistent flavor.
