Gongfu tea

Gongfu tea or kung fu tea (Chinese: 工夫茶 or 功夫茶; both gōngfū chá), literally "making tea with skill",^[1] is a traditional Chinese tea preparation method sometimes called a "tea ceremony".^[2][3] It is probably based on the tea preparation approaches originating in Fujian^[4] and the Chaoshan area of eastern Guangdong.^[5] 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.
