Gongfu Tea is a traditional Chinese tea preparation method that emphasizes skill and precision. The term "Gongfu" translates to "skill" or "effort," highlighting the care taken in brewing. This method typically involves using high-quality loose leaf tea, a small teapot or gaiwan, and multiple short infusions to extract the full flavor and aroma of the tea. During a Gongfu Tea session, the tea leaves are steeped in hot water for brief periods, often ranging from 10 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the type of tea. This technique allows for a more concentrated and nuanced tasting experience, making it popular among tea enthusiasts who appreciate the subtleties of different tea varieties.
