What is a tea pitcher (fairness cup)?

A tea pitcher, also called a fairness cup or cha hai (公道杯), is an essential Gongfu tea tool. After steeping tea in a gaiwan or teapot, you pour the liquor into the pitcher first. This ensures even flavor distribution — everyone gets equally brewed tea, hence the name 'fairness cup.'

Do I need a fairness pitcher for Gongfu tea?

Yes, it's highly recommended. Without a pitcher, the first cup poured would be weaker than the last. The pitcher evens out the concentration so every cup tastes the same. It also stops the brewing process immediately, preventing over-steeping.
