What's A Gong Dao Bei?
A gong dao bei, also known as a fairness cup or a fairness pitcher, is a traditional Chinese teapot accessory used in gongfu tea ceremonies. It is a small pitcher made of porcelain, clay, or glass, often with a spout on one end and a handle on the other.
The purpose of the gong dao bei is to ensure that all guests receive an equal and consistent brew during the tea ceremony. After steeping the tea leaves in the teapot, the tea master will pour the tea into the gong dao bei, which is then used to distribute the tea into individual cups.
The gong dao bei is also used to "rinse" the tea leaves before steeping. After the tea leaves are placed in the teapot, hot water is poured over them and quickly poured into the gong dao bei, then discarded. This is done to remove any impurities or dust from the tea leaves before steeping.
Overall, the gong dao bei plays an important role in gongfu tea ceremonies, ensuring that each guest receives an equal and high-quality brew.
