What is a Gong Dao Bei?
In traditional Chinese gong fu cha (kung fu tea ceremony), a Gong Dao Bei (also called tea fairness cup or tea pitcher) is an essential茶具 (chájù, tea tool). After steeping tea leaves in your teapot, you pour all brewed tea into this glass tea pitcher to equalize the concentration of every drop before serving to your guests. This ensures every person gets the same rich, balanced flavor – that’s where its name ‘fairness cup’ comes from in Chinese tea culture.
