Vintage Ceramic Gong Dao Bei | 250ml Handled Tea Pitcher for Gongfu Cha

What is a Gong Dao Bei?

In traditional Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony, the Gong Dao Bei (also called a tea fairness pitcher) is an essential piece of tea ware. After steeping tea leaves in a small teapot, you pour the full batch of brewed tea into the Gong Dao Bei first. This equalizes the tea strength and flavor in every cup you serve, living up to its name which translates to “fairness cup”.
