"We drink tea to forget the noise of the world"
Gong Fu Cha – Tea as art and experience
When combined with high-quality tea and the right brewing method, tea drinking can become a rich experience that delights your senses and inspires a deeper appreciation for this timeless beverage.
In our teahouse we invite you to discover the world of Gong Fu Cha – one of the traditional Chinese methods of tea brewing that is all about attention, precision and experience. It is more than a technique; it is an art form, a meditative ritual, and a way to truly connect with tea.
Gong Fu Cha literally means “tea with skill and dedication”. It originates from southern China, particularly the provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, where for centuries tea was prepared in small teapots, with short infusions and great attention to every detail.
Multiple small infusions are made in a small vessel with the same leaves, allowing the flavour to unfold gradually. It is a form of delicate brewing where water, temperature, time and movement all come together to bring out the full essence of the tea. The tea leaves are treated with respect, and each infusion reveals a different nuance of aroma, flavour and mouthfeel.
What is Gong Fu Cha?
Experience Gong Fu Cha your way
An entertaining, educational, sensual or even spiritual experience - tea drinking can be all of these. It can be a dialogue, a monologue or a silent art; poetic or musical; inspiring creativity or simply quiet. We will tailor our tea session to you and together we will enjoy its unfolding.
In our tea house you can experience Gong Fu Cha in different ways:
-
Prepare your own Gong Fu Cha at the table, with a tea selected from our Gong Fu Cha Menu, traditional tableware and explanation;
-
A guided session with one of us, in which we take you step by step through the ritual;
-
A personalised tea tasting, in which we explore different types of tea together and the art of tasting is central.
