How do you make tea? Chances are you’ve been doing it wrong.

For many people in China, brewing tea is a ritual akin to meditation. And there is a proper ceremony called gongfu cha.

Gongfu means skill, and cha means tea. It’s a form of Chinese tea service that dates back to the 14th century in Fujian. It places emphasis on the tea’s taste, temperature, and quality.

In this video, we’ll run you through how to do the tea ceremony correctly.

  1. Hi folks! We have 3 tea sets to give away to the most liked comments! The tea sets are travel-friendly and pack into a neat carrying case. You get a gaiwan, two tea cups, and a little holder for tea leaves (the small brown container you see in the video to the left). Like it? We'll look at the 3 most-liked comments on midnight April 8, EST. 🍵

  3. The number of time to brew will depend on the quality of the tea.
    Some you can only brew 2 times, but high-quality tea we can have 3-4 times at the most.
    You can smell and taste good at the 3 times of brewing, but in the 4-5 times of brewing, it isn't good.

  4. I think it's important to note that Chinese tea have been mistranslated. Red tea was translated to "Black Tea" for some reason when China doesn't even have a common black tea. Green tea were translated as "Red Tea."

  6. such a useful video, I received a cake of black tea from a Chinese visitor and he explained to me to wash the tea before use which startled me but now I can see how it is done. I love the little cups too, this is a totally different experience from my normal british cuppa.
