Glass Cha Hai (Fairness Cup) with strainer

A Cha Hai (茶海), also called a Gong Dao Bei (公道杯) or fairness cup, is the small pitcher you pour your brewed tea into so every cup is even in strength.

This one is a glass Cha Hai with a stainless steel strainer — made from thickened, heat-resistant borosilicate glass with a square base and a handle, built to take both hot and cold. Its bionic "eagle-beak" spout cuts the pour off cleanly with no drips.

• Material: thickened heat-resistant borosilicate glass, with a stainless steel strainer
• Design: square base, handle, clean-cutting eagle-beak spout
• Capacity: 300ml

The clean-cutting spout and built-in strainer make it especially good for brewing compact teas — we love it for Xiao Qing Gan and other Pu-erh tuo cha.

Pair it with a Yixing zisha teapot or a gaiwan for a complete gong fu table.
