Gongfu Tea
Gongfu-style brewing became popularized in the Ming Dynasty, before which time the dominant brewing method was grinding bricks of tea into a powder for boiling.
Gongfu can be translated as “skilled discipline.” (You may have also sees it transliterated as kung fu.) With this method, we use special purple clay pots and porcelain cups that soften the water and bring out the best qualities in the tea. We pay close attention to the quantity of leaf used, the temperature of the water, and the amount of time that the leaves steep.
Gongfu elevates the practice of tea to an art form as we seek to brew the perfect cup of tea.
