Gong Dao Bei Glass Jug Lin’s Ceramic Studio 200 ml

Pouring tea into a glass pitcher before serving it in cups is an important step in Chinese Tea Ceremony, because it allows for a liquid of uniform color and flavor. In fact, the glass pitcher is also known as the gong dao bei (cup of equity). This pitcher is made of borosilicate glass, an excellent material for preserving color, with an elegant gold rim to embellish your Gunfu Cha tea accessory collection.

What is a Gong Dao Bei

The Gong Dao Bei is simply a pitcher for serving tea so that everyone receives an infusion of equal intensity (that is why it is called a cup of equity). If it were to be served directly from a teapot or gaiwan, the first cup would have a weaker infusion than the last. Gong Dao Bei allows the tea from the teapot or gaiwan to be strained into this pitcher to equalize the infusion so that everyone can taste the same tea.
