What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gongfu cha (kung fu tea ceremony), a Gong Dao Bei (公道杯), also called a fairness cup or tea pitcher, is an essential tool for an even, balanced tea experience. After brewing tea leaves in a gaiwan or teapot, you pour all the brewed tea into this pitcher first. This step ensures every serving gets the same concentration and flavor, no bitter strong first sip and weak last sip — living up to its name “fairness cup”.
