What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony, the Gong Dao Bei (also called fairness cup) is an essential part of any complete tea set. After steeping tea leaves in your teapot, you pour the fully brewed tea into this fairness cup before dividing it into individual teacups. This practice ensures every guest gets tea of the same rich, balanced flavor, honoring the Chinese cultural value of fairness and equality in sharing tea.
