Chinese martial arts, colloquially referred to as kung fu or gong fu (see
the pinyin pronunciation chart) are a number of fighting styles that have
developed over the centuries in China. However, that’s not what we are not
going to talk about today, but a kind of tea called “Gongfu Tea” in China.
What is “Gongfu Tea?”
Many people know "Kungfu" because of Bruce Li and Jackie Chan. The tea gets its name because the skill it takes to make the tea is often
equal to the skill it takes to practice Gongfu.
We may learn Chinese skype that making Gongfu Tea is an extraordinary art that requires a lot of
skills and practice. It takes a lot of time to even make one cup. It’s a
Chinese black tea which is used as a relatively high end gourmet black tea and
is sometimes used in various tea blends. The
main difference between Dian hong and other Chinese black teas is the amount of
fine leaf buds, or "golden tips," present in the dried tea. Fermented
with lychee, rose,and longan, Dian hong teas produces a brew that is brassy
golden orange in color with a sweet, gentle aroma and no astringency. Cheaper
varieties of Dian hong produce a darker brownish brew that can be very bitter.
The best place for having Gongfu Tea is your own home. You could put on
some classic music in the background. The peaceful setting and the essence of
the tea can be highly relaxing.
