The
gongfu tea ceremony or
kung fu tea ceremony ( sometimes referred to as ), is a kind of
Chinese tea ceremony, involving the ritualized preparation and presentation of
tea. It is probably based on the tea preparation approaches originated in
Fujian and the
Chaoshan area of eastern
Guangdong. The term literally means "making tea with skill". Today, the approach is used popularly by teashops carrying
tea of Chinese origins, and by tea connoisseurs as a way to maximize the taste of a tea selection, especially a finer one.
