Gongfu Cha with Yixing Teapot

- The Chinese Kung Fu Tea Ceremony, or Gongfu Cha, is an ancient Chinese functional art form. The exact origins of the Chinese Tea Ceremony are unknown, but the Chaoshan/Chaozhou region is credited with making it a part of daily life. There are officially 21 steps to the process, though following the steps is more of a meditation than a practical way to serve tea.
You can see a step-by-step explanation of the ceremony here:

The name of the ceremony is a play on the words Kung Fu, based on the methodical steps that are required to properly perform the art.
Unlike the more recent Japanese Tea Ceremony, the Chinese Gongfu Tea Ceremony focuses not on the ceremony itself, but on the proper preparation of tea.

Beautifully done. Thank you for all your work in educating Americans about Chinese tea.
Hasufin Heltain Glad you appreciate it. That's what we do.
This is for me personally by far the greatest chinese tea ceremony to watch: So calm, no „star attitude“ but in a very nice, decent and calming way for the viewer. Thank you for broadcasting this. ✌️🫖🍵☕️
This is so beautiful and relaxing! Thank you!
Thank you, this is wonderful. Respect and love from Boston.
Dudeidk Thank you. We were just at the King Richard's Faire in Carver! Did you meet us there?
No I didn’t, Will you be in attendance next year?
Dudeidk Unfortunately, no. It was a one time work-vacation. Sorry we missed you. But we're still going strong and will keep promoting genuine tea culture across America.
I enjoy watching - ancient ceremony, and delicate moves of this beautiful woman.
Thank you. We're glad you appreciate it! You can see/learn more about tea and Xianna's culture on our website - www.cainatea.com
Great relaxing and awesome film! Wooh!
This was a very good education, in the use of making tea. As I will normally steep my tea for over 15 minutes, plus will never throw away the first steep. As again I will always drink my tea as it... After, watching this I am going to do this for my teas. 20 second steep, throw away, then 2 steep to drink after 20 seconds. Thank you for sharing.
I used to think seeping for longer was better. But now I see a 15 minute seep as crazy long.
Most tea leaves give out their best flavours in the first 30 seconds to 1 & a half minutes. A single seep that lasts longer than 2 minutes is usually bitter, no matter what the tea.
Un ritual precioso y saludable gracias
Best tea ceremony youtube video Ive seen so far 😀😀😀
I know this is really late but you did a beautifully and amazing job with the ceremony. Thank you for sharing your culture with us it was breathtaking.
Jennica Schweizer Thank you! And just to be clear, there really is no Chinese tea ceremony. It's simply a style of drinking tea that looks intricate.
Caina Tea Thank you for the information I didn’t know that. It was beautiful anyhow. God Bless u and Merry Christmas 🎄
@@cainatea2829 I guess it depends on the definition used.
In the formal sense: "a religious or public occasion, typically one celebrating a particular event or anniversary" it would definitely be situational.
But the informal definition: "an act or series of acts performed according to a traditional or prescribed form" being that gongfu is a process with lots of steps made with intention behind each one, it's definitely a ceremony.
You can't brew gongfu running out the door because you're late to work like you can with Western style.
Hypnotic. While I would love an explanation of each step of the ceremony, not knowing why she is doing what she is doing adds a layer of mystique to the entire process.

thank you,
All your videos - really beautiful, and informative too!
Mesmerising
The first time I saw this I got weirdly stressed out when the first pour of tea got thrown away.
The tea needs to be rinse first before drinking
@@sinzz354 It's not really a rinse, it's to open the leaves, the first steep is too weak
Tres joli rituel 💖 Thanks
Muy relajante, gracias
Brava! Grazie.

By the way, I love the story of you and your husband in the "about" tab 💜
looks like this shop is closed down. oh well. ill look around some more
How do you clean the teapot afterwards, please? Just rinse it in cold water until all the leaves are gone?
Knallbart Hot water is best. Chinese terracotta pots are unglazed on the inside by design. They are meant to be porous so the flavors absorb into the inside walls. For this reason, people often like to use only one tea, of the darker varieties, to season their pot. It's commonly believed that using only a single tea in each pot will improve the flavor over time. So there is no need to wash them, and never use soaps because the flavor of the soap will remain.
Also, if you're worried about stains on the pot, that is also part of the seasoning process. Get a small brush and "paint" the pot with the liquid tea to get an even patina over the years.
Knallbart, zuerst den Tee aus der Kanne mit einer hölzernen Pinzette entfernen, und dann die Kanne mir heißem(!) Wasser spülen. Danach gut trocknen lassen. Sonst nichts.
Sieht schön aus, zweifellos. Aber als Durstlöscher ziehe ich einen großen Becher vor. Diese großen Becher gibst in China auch. Man verzeihe mir die etwas Kunstabholede Ansicht.😇
👍
❤️
What does it mean. When you serve somebody tea spill it on purpose?
Lose the music and you have an outstanding asmr video.
Wasn't trying to make a fetish video, but thanks
Who noticed the middle cup moving by itself at 0:17?
We did, but we were done with the reshoots. Water drains down the tube a little loud too. Merry Christmas!
Could you tell me where you night your tea tray? I love it
AliExpress has a big variety of good quality tea trays & Gongfu tea items for very reasonable prices (mainly because it comes straight from the Chinese manufacturers and also because a lot of Chinese businesses that usually only sell items inside China sell on it)
What is the purpose of sliding the teapot lid around before placing it on the teapot?
Peggy Tomko It smooths out the bubbles that tend form on the surface during the first infusion.
what's the point of spilled the tea? :/
When initially infusing dried tea leaves, they need to be "woken up". A quick splash of hot water over the leaves washes away any staleness that may be present on the dehydrated leaves.
1:03 awkward sound, but great video.
Jason Jay Thank you. That sound is normal. It's the water draining down the tube to the bucket below. That's what happens in real life. One can't allow the excess liquid to keep building up on the table.
Jason Jay I think it's a sharting sound
look at 0:18 the cu is moving on its own!!!
If the songs that are used in these videos have names, would you mind sharing them?
Melodie Hunt They are Chinese Guzheng songs. Do a quick TH-cam search, and also look up "erhu music". They are beautiful Chinese instruments.
Caina Tea Thank you so much
What's the piece of music?
Nicholas Jessup It's guzheng music, a traditional Chinese string instrument. Give it a TH-cam search. 😊
I hope you know that someone took your video.
It’d be a shame if you didn’t.
Life is Great Hi, thanks for commenting. Can you please explain what you mean, because "took" is kind of ambiguous in this context.
او میڈم چائینز ٹھیک ہے چاہے اپنے گھر کی فکر کرو آپ بھی اسرائیل آپ لوگوں کی بھی صفوں میں گھسا ہوا ہے سانپ بنکر دیکھنا کہیں غلط استعمال نہ ہو جانا
You spilled.
Not sure what you're referring to exactly, but the table/tray is specifically designed to catch spillage.
Also, washing the cups, pot, and tea with hot water is part of the ceremony.
Gong fu surely does waste a lot of quality water
african kids would have eaten that table.
God this is so well done, but plz I beg of u remove the music and u would have a masterpiece of asmr here. Music ruins it!!!
I think you spilled some tea. Careful next time
Felis Tigris That's how it works.
I'm interested. As much as it is relaxing, Why the spillage though?
Felis Tigris It's a way to warm up the teaware so the leaves infuse at full temperature. You don't want to brew in a cold teapot. That's why the table is there to drain the water away.
That sucking sound is very disturbing. xD
@S M Are you completely stupid? How can a water sucking pump be a part of a culture, or even a cultural activity such as a tea ceremony?
