{"product_id":"double-wall-glass-tea-pitcher-gongdao-fair-cup","title":"Double Wall Glass Tea Pitcher — Gongdao Fair Cup | 100–300ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a moment in the tea ritual that most people rush past — the pour from the teapot into the pitcher, the brief pause before the cup. The Gongdao cup exists for that moment. It equalises the brew, distributes the temperature, and gives the tea one last breath before it reaches you. This is not a vessel for convenience. It is a vessel for intention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis double wall glass Gongdao pitcher is made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, hand-formed into a clean, unadorned silhouette that lets the tea speak for itself. The double wall construction keeps the exterior cool to the touch while the interior holds temperature — so you can pour with confidence and hold with comfort. Available in three capacities: 100ml for solo sessions, 101–200ml for a shared pot, and 201–300ml for a full gongfu spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Product Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat-resistant borosilicate glass (double wall construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacities available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100ml | 101–200ml | 201–300ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (100ml):\u003c\/strong\u003e Height 90mm | Top diameter 60mm | Base diameter 85mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight (100ml):\u003c\/strong\u003e 110g (3.88oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear — full transparency, no coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for boiling water and high-temperature teas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash recommended; dishwasher safe on gentle cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ The Gongdao Cup — What It Is and Why It Matters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eGongdao (公道) translates literally as “fair way” — and that is exactly what this vessel does. In gongfu cha (the Chinese art of tea), the brew is poured from the teapot into the Gongdao cup first, equalising the concentration and temperature before it is distributed into individual cups. Every guest receives the same tea. No first pour, no last pour — just the same, considered cup for everyone at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also called a Cha Hai (茶海, “sea of tea”) — a name that captures the sense of abundance and generosity that the vessel represents. Whether you practice gongfu cha formally or simply want a more considered way to serve tea, the Gongdao cup transforms the pour into a gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Why This Pitcher\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWhat It Means for You\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble wall borosilicate glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior stays cool; interior holds heat — pour without burning your hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull transparency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWatch the colour of your tea as you pour — no guesswork, no opacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree capacity options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatch the vessel to your session — solo, shared, or full spread\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat-resistant construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe for boiling water and high-temperature oolongs, pu-erh, and black teas\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLightweight at 110g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy to handle mid-session, even with wet hands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean, unadorned silhouette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePairs with any tea set — traditional, modern, or mixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✦ Care \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand washing is recommended to preserve the clarity of the glass and the integrity of the double wall seal.

It ensures every cup at the table receives the same quality of tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich capacity should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 100ml is ideal for solo sessions or small teapots (60–100ml capacity). The 101–200ml suits a standard gongfu teapot shared between two to three people. The 201–300ml is best for larger sessions or when serving four or more guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the glass safe for boiling water?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the borosilicate glass is heat-resistant and designed for high-temperature use.
