Pouring the tea into a glass pitcher before serving it in cups is an important step in Chinese Tea Ceremony because it allows for a liquor 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 heat preservation, with an elegant wooden band, branded Tea Soul.
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.
