With its handcrafted design, this Gong Dao Bei evokes the simple yet profound aesthetic of wabi-sabi (侘び寂び), which embraces the beauty of impermanence and simplicity. It features an abstract white splash on a dark, earthy background, creating a striking visual contrast. The bright interior highlights the rich colors of tea, making brewing a visually engaging experience.
Gong Dao Bei is a critical tool in Gong Fu Cha. It allows for decanting of the brewing vessel to prevent the tea from overbrewing, ensuring each cup of tea has a consistent strength and flavor, thereby embodying the principles of fairness and equality among all participants.
The choice of material makes this Gong Dao Bei a durable companion. It holds just the right amount of tea, making it ideal for small gatherings or individual reflection. The spout is crafted to ensure a smooth, drip-free pour.
NOTE: Teaware easily absorbs taste and aromas and should never be washed using detergents.
