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. I just bought some tea in chengdu and wanted to know how to brew it. I am surprised that you use so little tea like 4 grams isn’t much. I understand now why they sell a gram for 1.2 yuan. In Turkey we buy our tea in kilograms bags so i thought i should have buy the same amount and that it would cost 1200 yuan (170 dollars) that’s expensive but i guess you don’t get that much tea
