What is a Cha Hai / Gong Dao Bei？

The Gong Dao Bei is traditionally used in Chinese tea ceremonies for decanting and serving tea from a brewing vessel (like a gaiwan or teapot) into individual cups. Its shape allows the tea to flow smoothly, ensuring an even distribution of tea for each guest, making it an essential tool in traditional tea service. This cha hai also serves a practical role in tea tasting, as it helps separate the brewed leaves from the tea liquid, offering a clear and clean taste.

This Blue Ice Crystal Tea Pitcher is designed for tea enthusiasts who appreciate both the art of tea preparation and the aesthetic qualities of their teaware. Whether you’re a connoisseur of Chinese tea culture or simply someone who enjoys a refined tea experience, this pitcher brings both beauty and functionality to your tea table.
