What's there to say really, if you dont got me, you dont got gongfu tea.
 
Not to brag or anything, but I'm probably the most important piece on this whole dang site!
 
The Late Bloomer glass pour cup (公道杯/gōng dào bēi) is the most useful and versatile piece of teaware that can be used with any other piece of teaware serving 3 main functions:
Consistent flavor - with no leaves you will get a consistent potency 
Less spills - pour cups have a spout & open mouth so it's easier to pour accurately
Tea examination - since it's glass, you get a better view of the tea liquor color
*Bonus: Side by side tastings - In order to make sure you can drink equally steeped teas side by side you can steep more than one tea with multiple pour cups 
Originally used as a decanter in the Ming Dynasty and coming out of the Porcelain capital of the world Jingdezhen it was originally used for alcohol. Fast forward just under a thousand years the pour cup has become a quintessential part of Gongfu tea brewing.  
This comes with one sturdy glass pour cup.
