The fairness pitcher, also known as Gong Dao Bei (公道杯), is an integral part of traditional Chinese tea culture.
It symbolises equality and fairness in the tea ritual - every guest receives the same quality infusion. It is ideal for tea enthusiasts who want to enjoy tea at a higher level.
Why use a fairness pitcher?
- Balancing the flavour - the infusion from the teapot is poured into the pitcher first, balancing the intensity of the flavour, as the first drops tend to be stronger than the last.
- Convenient serving - allows tea to be poured precisely into cups without spilling.
- Material variations - made from glass, porcelain, ceramic or yixing clay, with glass versions allowing the colour of the tea infusion to be enjoyed visually.
- Elegant design - the simple yet stylish shape complements the tea ritual and enhances the aesthetic experience.
- Versatile use - it is suitable for all types of teas and is a great addition to a Gong Fu Cha set.
How to use the fairness pitcher?
- After steeping, the tea is poured from the gaiwan or teapot into the Justice Pitcher.
- From there, the tea is then evenly poured into the guests' cups.
This way everyone has the same tea experience, with no differences in the strength or taste of the infusion.
