Readers' comments: Jumpingtiger:As the Kungfu masters perfect their body and mind through years of hard practice, Kungfu tea also emphasize the elegance and precision of making tea. But, it is quite different from japanese tea art which I believe, stresses the ceremony instead of the real taste of the tea. Contribute your comments to ourForum |
The art of drinking and serving tea has played a major cultural role in China for more than 2,000 years. The Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes the tea itself - its taste and aroma, rather than the ceremony as in the Japanese ritual. It conveys the spirit of purity, elegance, courtesy and peace. Each step is meant to be a sensory exploration and appreciation.
You might be familiar with kungfu as a martial art. But in Chinese, it means more than this. It means hard work, labor, achievement, skill and free time. Kungfu Tea is the Chinese tea-brewing process that has a little bit of ALL of these meanings. Try making Kungfu Tea and find out why for yourself!
