What is a Gong Dao Bei (Fairness Cup)?
In traditional Chinese tea culture, the Gong Dao Bei (or ‘Justice Cup’, commonly called a tea pitcher or tea sea) is an essential part of the gongfu tea ceremony. After steeping tea leaves in your teapot or gaiwan, you pour the full batch of brewed tea into this pitcher to equalize the strength of the infusion before pouring into individual teacups. This ensures every guest gets a perfectly balanced cup of tea, honoring the traditional Chinese value of fairness in hospitality.
