What Is A Gongdao Bei (Tea Pitcher)?
In traditional Chinese gongfu tea culture, the Gongdao Bei (or tea pitcher/cha hai) is an essential part of any complete tea set. Its name translates to “justice cup”, because it equalizes the strength and temperature of your tea before pouring into individual cups, ensuring every guest gets a perfectly balanced brew. This vintage-inspired design updates the classic form with modern comfort and style.
