Gongfu tea ceremony
The Gongfu tea ceremony is a traditional Chinese practice that emphasizes the art of brewing and enjoying tea. It involves using high-quality tea leaves, often Oolong or Pu-erh, and specific techniques to extract the best flavors. The ceremony is typically performed with a small teapot and multiple infusions, allowing participants to appreciate the tea's evolving taste.
During the ceremony, attention is given to every detail, from the temperature of the water to the type of cups used. The process is not just about drinking tea; it also fosters mindfulness and appreciation for the moment, making it a social and cultural experience.
