What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gongfu tea ceremony, the Gong Dao Bei (translated as “Fairness Cup”, also called a tea pitcher or tea sea) is an essential tool for the perfect brew. After steeping tea leaves in a teapot, you pour all the brewed tea into this pitcher to equalize the flavor and strength before dividing it into individual teacups — ensuring every guest gets a uniformly delicious cup of tea, living up to its name “Gong Dao” (fairness).
