Fairness Cup / Gong Dao Bei

Gongdao cups, also known as fair cups or pitchers, are essential tools in Chinese tea brewing. Our carefully curated selection includes pieces made from glass, ceramic, and clay, including some exquisite wood-fired options. Each cup is chosen for its functionality, aesthetic appeal, and ability to enhance the tea-drinking experience.
These cups serve a crucial role in gongfu tea preparation, ensuring each pour is of consistent strength and flavor. The transparent glass options allow you to appreciate the tea's color, while ceramic and clay cups can subtly influence the tea's taste and aroma. Wood-fired pieces add a rustic charm and depth to your tea set.
We've personally tested each cup in our collection, selecting only those we use and enjoy in our own tea sessions. Our focus is on offering quality pieces at accessible prices, perfect for both beginners and seasoned tea enthusiasts.
The designs range from simple and elegant to more intricate patterns, but all are crafted with the specific needs of gongfu tea in mind. The sizes are optimized for small-batch brewing, typically holding enough for 2-4 servings.
Whether you're looking for your first gongdao cup or adding to an existing collection, you'll find options here that balance functionality with beauty. These cups not only serve a practical purpose but also add a touch of artistry to your tea table.
Remember, the best gongdao cup is one that feels right in your hands and complements your tea ritual. We invite you to explore our selection and find the perfect match for your brewing style.
