What is Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gongfu tea ceremony, Gong Dao Bei (also called a tea pitcher or fairness pitcher) is an essential piece of the tea set. After steeping tea leaves, you pour all brewed tea into this pitcher before dividing it into individual teacups. This ensures every guest gets tea of the same strength and flavor, embodying the Chinese cultural value of equality and hospitality.
