With its distinctively handcrafted design, this Gong Dao Bei embodies a simple yet profound aesthetic of wabi-sabi (侘び寂び) that embraces the beauty of impermanence and simplicity. It features a unique, abstract white splash on a dark, almost black background, creating a striking and elegant visual contrast. The bright interior adds a beautiful contrast and highlights the rich colors of your tea, making each brewing session a visually engaging experience.
Functionally, this Gong Dao Bei is a crucial tool in the Gong Fu Cha ceremony. It allows you to decant your brewing vessel to prevent the tea from overbrewing and ensures each cup of tea has a consistent strength and flavor, embodying the principle of fairness and equality among all participants. This practice not only enhances the social aspect of tea drinking but also respects the ritualistic and communal spirit of Gong Fu Cha. The spout is carefully crafted to ensure a smooth, drip-free pour, emphasizing precision and care in every aspect of its design.
The material and thoughtful form of this Cha Hai makes it a durable companion for both daily use and special occasions. It holds just the right amount of tea, making it ideal for small gatherings or individual reflection. Its porous surface subtly absorbs the tea's aroma, gradually developing a richer patina that adds character over time.
Perfect for those who value the art of tea making as much as the art of living, this Gong Dao Bei combines functionality with aesthetic grace. It invites you to slow down, savor each pour, and fully immerse yourself in the sensory pleasures of tea tasting, enhancing the joy of sharing tea.
NOTE: Teaware easily absorbs taste and aromas and should never be washed using detergents.
