Gongfu tea

Gongfu tea is a traditional Chinese method of preparing and enjoying tea that emphasizes careful technique and multiple short infusions. It involves using a small teapot or gaiwan, precise water temperature, and attentive brewing to extract the tea's full flavor and aroma. The process fosters a mindful appreciation of the tea's evolving qualities, making each infusion unique. This method highlights the artistry and ritual of tea drinking, often accompanying social or ceremonial settings, and is particularly popular with high-quality teas like oolong, pu-erh, and green teas.
