What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gongfu tea ceremony, the Gong Dao Bei (translated as “fairness pitcher”, also called a glass tea pitcher or cha hai) is an indispensable茶具 (chájù, tea utensil) that brings balance to every cup of tea. After steeping tea leaves in your teapot, you pour the fully brewed tea into this pitcher before distributing it into individual teacups — this ensures every guest gets tea of the same concentration and flavor, living up to its name “fairness pitcher”.
