Gong Dao Bei or fairness jug, is an essential part of gong fu tea preparing that serves to control the strength of the brew. After brewing the tea for a certain amount of time either in a very small teapot such as Yixing/Chaozhou teapot or in a Gaiwan, the tea liquor should be decanted completely into a Gong Dao Bei and from there into smaller tasting cups. Such a method ensures that the tea leaves do not continue to steep between each pour and also allow all participants to drink exactly the same tea.  

The Gong Dao Bei is made with high-firing coarse-grained clay and fired in a wooden kiln at high-firing temperature. It is glazed both inside and outside. It is incredibly durable after firing, with no absorption. It also keep the heat better.

There are only few in stock of these Gong Dao Bei.  Because they are hand made, each one is slight different because they are hand-made. The one you will receive might be slightly different to the one in the picture.
