Pouring tea into a glass jug before serving it in cups is an important step in the Chinese tea ceremony, because it allows you to obtain a liquid of uniform color and flavor. In fact, the glass jug is also known as gong dao bei (cup of fairness). This pitcher is made of borosilicate glass, an excellent material for color retention, with an elegant gold rim to enhance your collection of Gunfu Cha tea accessories.
What is a Gong Dao Bei
The Gong Dao Bei is simply a pitcher for serving tea so that everyone gets an infusion of equal strength (that’s why it’s called a fairness cup). If you were to serve directly from a teapot or gaiwan, the first cup would have a weaker brew than the last. The Gong Dao Bei allows tea to be filtered from the teapot or gaiwan into this pitcher to uniform the brew so everyone can taste the same tea.
