Gongfu tea

Gongfu tea or kung fu tea, literally "making tea with skill", is a traditional Chinese tea preparation method. It is sometimes called a "tea ceremony", though this is a misnomer, as gongfu cha is more accurately described as a specialised technique of brewing tea rather than a ritualised ceremony. It is probably based on the tea preparation approaches originating in Fujian and the Chaoshan area of eastern Guangdong.

The term Gongfu (工夫) in Chaoshan dialect means the technique is meticulous, subtle, graceful and exquisite as well as requiring patience and experience to perfect.
The practice involves using smaller brewing vessels and a more potent leaf-to-water ratio than in Western-style brewing.
Today, the approach is used popularly by teashops carrying tea of Chinese or Taiwanese origin, and by aficionados and trained masters as a way to fully realize the taste of a tea selection, especially a finer one.
