A question from another tea lover on Instagram inspired me to write a post about how to get started and get what you need to steep tea gongfu style!
What is Gongfu Cha?
Gongfu cha (skillfully prepared tea) is a style of brewing tea that originated in China over 1,000 years ago. It involves using a higher ratio of tea leaves to water than Western-style tea brewing. Small steeping vessels–teapots or gaiwans–are used with small cups. (A gaiwan is a kind of Chinese bowl with a lid.)
