What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese Gongfu Cha (tea ceremony), the Gong Dao Bei (公道杯, or “tea fairness pitcher”) is an essential part of the tea set. After steeping tea in a teapot, you pour the full brew into this pitcher to equalize the tea concentration before pouring into individual tasting cups. This ensures every guest gets the same smooth, balanced flavor in every cup, embodying the spirit of harmony and fairness that is core to Chinese tea culture.
