What is Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese tea culture, Gong Dao Bei (also called a tea pitcher or fair cup) is an essential tea utensil that embodies the core value of ‘fairness’ in tea sharing. After steeping tea in a teapot, you pour the brewed tea into the Gong Dao Bei to equalize tea concentration and filter loose tea leaves, ensuring every guest gets a perfectly balanced cup of tea.
Our Handmade Jun Kiln Broad-Mouth Gong Dao Bei
This Jun Kiln tea pitcher carries on the legacy of one of China’s Five Great Kilns from the Song Dynasty, famous for its iconic kiln-change glaze. No two Jun Kiln pieces are exactly alike – each pitcher features one-of-a-kind blue, purple, and golden mottled patterns that look like a starry sky captured in ceramic, making this as much a piece of art as it is a functional tea tool.
Key Features of This Tea Pitcher
- Premium Ceramic Material: Fired at high temperature, this ceramic tea pitcher has excellent chemical stability that preserves the original flavor of your tea without altering taste.
