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 gong dao bei (equity cup). This pitcher is made of borosilicate glass, a great material for preserving color, with an elegant gold rim to embellish your Gunfu Cha tea accessories collection.
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 tea to be strained from the teapot or gaiwan into this pitcher to equalize the infusion so that everyone can taste the same tea.
