You may have often hear the terms ‘Gong Fu Cha’, which doesn’t necessarily relate to the Chinese martial arts but the art of tea brewing. It promotes the Chinese tea culture of taking the time to appreciate a good cup of tea. By using specific tea wares, it allows the tea leaves to release their full potential.
It usually begins from warming up the tea wares with hot water, and putting in the dry tea leaves with a few shakes. This step is considered a wake-up call for the tea leaves, that allows them to fully open up and stretch out their bodies.
Different tea wares are often recommended by the tea masters, as it helps bringing up the full taste for each tea. For example, a Pu’er tea requires high temperature to completely unfolds its tea leaves and wash out the natural dirts. However, we always believe that people shouldn’t feel restricted in the technicalities. No matter if you use a full tea set, a simple tea pot or tea egg, you can still enjoy the tea’s beauty in a way that you feel most comfortable.
