Pouring 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 pitcher is also known as gong dao bei (equity cup). This pitcher is made of borosilicate glass, a great material for heat preservation, with an elegant wooden band, branded Tea Soul.
What is the Gong Dao Bei
The Gong Dao Bei is simply a pitcher for serving tea so that everyone gets an equal infusion (that's why it's called the equity cup). 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.
