What is kung fu tea? To put it simply, Kungfu Tea is a traditional brewing method unique to Chinese tea culture. Like its name, to brew kung fu tea requires "kung fu", in other words, skill; just like ancient martial arts, it requires a state of mind. Chicken Bay is more commonly used than pottery pots. It originated in Chaozhou, Guangdong. Kungfu tea can be used to brew any type of pure tea. However, it is famous for brewing oolong tea.

What's the difference? It will make you feel like you have discovered a whole new world of tea, a new taste! First of all, when making tea in this way, the time of making tea each time is generally within 3-10 seconds. This keeps the tea from getting tired quickly and gives the tea time to recover after each brewing. It also allows the leaves to open slowly, providing different aromas and flavors as the soaking proceeds. Therefore, tea drinkers have more comprehensive and complex feelings about the taste and aroma of tea. Although kung fu tea does not drink much alcohol compared with the British way of brewing in a large pot, kung fu tea spends a small part of its time tasting tea and reaching a state of mind that is akin to meditation. Second, due to the short soaking time, tea leaves have time to recover. In addition to green tea, most teas, such as oolong tea, white tea, Pu'er tea and black tea, can be soaked at least 6 times. Kungfu Tea is not only a special way of making tea, but also a cultural and painstaking experience. What is the kung fu ceremony? Many people know about the matcha ceremony in Japan, but not necessarily the kungfu tea ceremony in China. Nowadays, there are three styles of kung fu tea. The "style" mentioned above is Chaozhou's, the second is Fu Jian's, and the third is Taiwan's. They all have some detailed features, which makes them a little different from each other, but fundamentally, they are the same. Now we will explain them one by one. Chaoshan Kungfu Tea style traditional Chaoshan Kungfu Tea style tea sets include a "tea boat", a "chicken gull" (similar to Chicken Bay, but smaller) or a clay pot made of a specific type of local clay (different from Yixing / purple clay pot) and three teacups (also of fixed size). The three teacups are usually shaped into pyramids, symbolizing the Chinese character "taste", which means "tasting". The most difficult part is that the liquid poured directly from Gaiou is poured evenly into three cups with the same amount and thickness, which is why "kung fu" is needed. If you travel to Chaozhou, you can even find such tea sets in local hotels, because from the perspective of cultural heritage, this style is still widely used and highly accepted by the local people. The local Fenghuangdancong Oolong Tea mainly adopts this style, which is another highlight of the local culture.
