Classic Glass Tea Pitcher 380 ml is an elegant and practical part of traditional tea preparation using the gong fu cha method. This pitcher, often referred to as cha hai 茶海 or gong dao bei 公道杯 (sometimes translated as a “fairness pitcher”), is used to decant tea from a teapot or gaiwan before pouring it into cups. The main purpose of this vessel is to balance the strength of the infusion. The first drops of tea are often stronger than the last ones, so the tea is first poured into the pitcher where it mixes evenly. Only then is it poured into individual cups so that all guests receive tea with the same flavor and intensity.
The glass design allows you to observe the color of the infusion and its changes during tea preparation. Clean lines and a simple design make it a versatile vessel that pairs easily with different styles of teaware. The smooth glass surface does not absorb aromas or flavors from previous infusions, making the pitcher suitable for different types of tea – from green and white teas through oolongs to black teas or pu-erh.
