I make tea this way now ever since I received a portable Chinese tea set. Subsequently I went to buy 2 more portable sets , tray, accessories. I love tea but never bothered to make them properly till now
I make tea this way several times a week. I sometimes change the teapot and use a gaiwan, glass pot, or a side-handle pot, depending on what teas I am using. The Tie Guan Yin oolong tea is also one of my favorites. I have a small yixing clay pot, slightly smaller than my fist, that is dedicated to Tie Guan Yin -- I've used it for several years and there has never been anything but Tie Guan Yin in it. I usually use my side-handle pot for red teas (black tea) and I particularly like old tree red tea. For Pu'er I use a gaiwan and for green teas a glass teapot. Other than using my little yixing pot for the Iron Bodhisattva Guanyin tea, there is no special reason I chose these particular pots for these other teas, it just felt right in the beginning and now I do it mostly out of habit. In the morning I throw a few leaves of some inexpensive tea in a cup and pour hot water on it; this is in lieu of morning coffee. But in the late afternoon or in the evening I slow down and enjoy making tea the way the young man in the video described.
@@martinjohnson4405 This is so great to hear! I am glad to see that you enjoy making tea this way. I know many people that use dedicated tea wares for different types of tea, after a while it infuses the pots with great aroma. This is especially true for good Jasmine tea.
The fair/fairness cup is actually not the same one you use to infuse; it is the one that you use to hold and serve the tea after infusing it. The intent of the fairness cup is to insure everyone gets the same strength of tea. If you were to serve the tea directly from the infusing pot into the drinkers' cups there is generally a difference of strength from one cup to the next. Pouring into a fairness cup helps to evenly distribute the concentration before serving into individual cups. Hence the name :)
This was SO helpful! My bf just got me a traditional tea set for my bday. So excited to enter into the magical way of brewing and drinking my tea! THANK YOU!
It's actually such a great gift idea! And once you start to enjoy Gong-fu style loose leaf tea there really is no going back! The only other way I prepare tea anymore would be Japanese quick serve tea which is very similar.
@@Kurokitty23 there's an endless list of offerings on eBay and Amazon, but I'd recommend first checking anywhere that sells Chinese/Japanese loose leaf tea since there's often quality issues with what's on Amazon
I am so glad that you feel this way. It's honestly a great way for me to relax and like I said, it's a great way to serve your friends and chat around the table.
Great information and so very helpful. I'm a newbie so I appreciate you going slow and explaining the process and the reasons why you go through the specific steps. Thank you! I'm hooked!
Oh my goodness so that's what the animals are for... my dad collects teas and tea sets and he displays them in our little tea area. He has over 10 sets that he collected over the years and all of them are complete, though I never knew up till now how the little animals that came with them were part of the set
This was so informative!! I appreciate your practical explanations, and it's nice to see someone specifically reference how common it is in China- usually I don't hear much more than "it's still used in China today," so I appreciate that personal input! Will definitely be sending this to my friends since they've also expressed an interest in Gong Fu tea.
Absolutely love this! I'm a coffee guy, but always been interested in tea, and not sure where to go to learn. I appreciate you coming at this with coffee as a reference point!
Yeah definitely! I am glad to hear that it's coherent to a coffee person, I tried to make it easy to understand, but sometimes I can just vomit information lol. Thanks for your words of confidence =]
Outside the added cost this is a great way to start trying tea. The different compound in plants extract at different rates and at different temperatures. More specifically the compounds in tea that attribute to bitterness in tea take more heat and time to extract, so gong Fu (done properly) will make tea with 0 bitterness!
Thank you so much! My husband had bought a tea set (ceramic) that we could not identify until I found this video. We have no 'pet', and some of the other pieces are missing as well. It's just the bowl with tray, six small cups, and what he thought was a 'creamer and sugar' set, which is surely the pot and infuser. We look forward to using it in the proper way!
haha I am glad that you found this to be useful. Yeah, the creamer and sugar set are most likely the infuser and the fair pot, as traditional Chinese tea are never enjoyed with cream and sugar. Hope you guys enjoy using it!!
This is the first time I’ve heard of this. Thank you for posting. I love learning about different customs and traditions. I particularly like the idea of a tea pet.
This is a fantastic introduction to Gongfu tea brewing! You're really clear about what you're doing at the same time as showing exactly what you're talking about. I love the tea set too, it's really nice.
Thank you brother. I just received a traditional Chinese tea set for my birthday yesterday. Your explanations really helped me understand what I'm doing and how to use each piece of crockery in the right context 😊 🍵
Just because you are not traditionally trained does not mean you are not traditionally knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your culture, this is fascinating.
Thank you! This is so informative, and that set is just gorgeous! My almost 11 yo daughter is obsesses with Asia and wants a traditional tea set for her birthday. This video will help her learn how to do it properly.
Thanks for making this video! I once visited a tea shop in Ho Hot, and we spent hours chatting around a table, where our host poured tea in this method. I had never seen such a tea shop in the U.S.: hundreds of varieties of tea and a whole wall full of tea pots and tea sets. While I was there, I received many varieties of tea as gifts, and I've been enjoying them, but I hope to enjoy them more by following your instructions! I'm also glad to know that tea is more valuable when it is older, since my trip to China was 12 years ago, and I still have much of the tea unopened! Sadly, all the tea is labeled only in Mandarin, so I don't know what sorts of tea are in the packages. No problem, though, since they all smell and taste intriguing, whether I know their names or not!
You can use anything for your serving pitcher really, I even used a small measuring cup at one time, creamer cups work well as long as they are large enough for the size of teapot you are using!
This is awesome. Such a beautiful set and stories. I'm just getting started into tea, I've always loved it even when I just used low quality tea bags :/ Thank you so much for sharing this.
I was also a bit intimidated in the beginning. Just try it. You can find some decent Tie Guan Yin online for not too expensive then play with it and you will find that relatively soon it will become second nature. I was an engineer by profession and the biggest mistake I made with tea brewing was to get a weight scale, a stopwatch, and a thermometer. Stay away from these! In the beginning you will make many mistakes -- too hot or cool water, too much or little tea, too long or short of a brewing time. You will hone your skills better by learning from mistakes than by relying on technology.
Very good demonstration, thank you! I like to watch the Chinese period shows where they grind tea and impress each other. I went to a 4 star restaurant in Asia and ordered jasmine tea..I was served Twinings brand English tea. I died inside...I was so distracted during lunch..I could not finish half of the cup... and I used a lot of self restraint to not complain and sound like a snob. One of the main reasons I went to Asia was for the TEA. 😂
Very helpful! Visited Chinatown in Las Vegas today and picked up a traditional tea set and didn’t really know what some of the items were for. Now to explore new teas and flavors!!!
Im just now getting into tea. Granted i still drink store bought, pre bagged tea. I think its pretty good, but im stepping my game up and going GONG FU, BABY! glad i found this channel. looking forward to learning more and sippin some tea
I love this. Thank you so much for the info. This Chinese tradition has inspired me to buy better quality test and find slow down and enjoy my tea just a little bit more
I rarely ever comment on videos, but I just had to express my gratitude to you for taking the time to make this video. Your demeanor is so like-able and the information is presented in a very easy-to-understand way that is very relate-able. Thank you for explaining the mystifying tea set!
Thank you for this lovely and thorough presentation with the list of resources. I have appreciated the beauty and grace of tea ceremonies for a long time, but only recently delved deeper into understanding the intricacies of the ritual. It's such a soothing and life affirming ritual. I look forward to getting my own tea set.
Thank you for a very informative video, and very relaxed. Actually, first time watching you and I am drinking my favorite, tie guan yin. Just beginning my tea journey. Got hooked when watching a Chinese drama where they had a tea brewing competition. A few hundred years ago when Chinese tea was foamed like matcha. Fascinating series. Very good acting and great music.
FYI in my possession there is responsive pets of Pixiu which changing color for short time after portion of hot tea .. other small friendly Budai - smiling monk with big belly - just making small bubles .
Thank you for this video! I love tea and just got a traditional tea set from an estate sale, it's gorgeous and I was sitting here wondering what all the parts are but thanks to you now I know! I need to get the pour basin and a tea pet now!
Hi! I loved this video, I am entering in the tea world and it was very enlightening, thank you! Do you recommend to use different tea sets for different types of tea? I read in some places about it. I am going to buy my first set and I don't know which one is better. I usually prefer black tea.
It's better to have a tea pot and tea cups for each tea type by colour (black, green, oolong, ...) because the taste won't mix. Some people even have a tea pot and tea cups for each type of tea by variety (gyokuro, sencha, Darjeeling)!
Great to see tea content! Currently drinking some Sheng while waiting for my Shincha to arrive from Japan. I never knew how deep the tea rabbit hole could be :P
Well hobbies can get deep. BUT I am happy to say that the tea rabbit hole is relatively cheaper since there won't be much electronic gadgets involved lol.
Historically such kind of tea serving was popular in some parts of Southern China, not in Northern China, and at different times and different sub-cultures tea preparing and serving was different too. Taoists for example didn't care much about all kind of elaborations and rules: pure water, quality tea, peaceful atmosphere, pleasant quest and enjoyable discussion were far more important than everything else. In Buddhist monasteries tea serving was different in their own way, etc.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I absolutely loved how approachable you’ve made the process. I was previously very intimidated by the idea of having a tea set, but you’ve really made me want to invest in one. The time to sit and enjoy your tea (alone or with others) just sounds so therapeutic.
This is so great! Thanks so much for explaining this into all the details! I love tea so much and prefer to drink tea in small tea cups, which is how I came across Chinese tea set & now I'm learning about Chinese tea brewing/drinking style. Thank you
Great video! I was wondering what kettle that is you're using? The plate keeps the water at temperature, correct? I've been looking for something like that, but have trouble finding one so i would love to know what brand/type it is! :)
Your video is informative and very helpful. Video has segments for easy viewing of a particular topics and subtitle is also present for those who can't hear the video. Very inclusive indeed. New subscriber here! Thank you for this video. I have a question though. How do you use your tea set? With dishwashing soap or just rinse it with hot water? Thanks in advance for the answer.
A fine video! I prefer clay,Yixing. I have a little teapot,I even took it with me to London recently. It serves me well! I tend to prefer the Puerh,but Oolong is also a delight.
Love this video! Nicely done! I have a question for you, or for anyone in the comments who may know the answer: Can you add things (like honey, sugar, milk, etc.) to tea in these clay pots and cups?
Brother, many tea sets comes with two types of cups, the regular one, and skinny higher one, is that true this second type purpose are only for smelling the aroma?
Have anyone tried to make this tea in this method? I am curious to know if anyone else prefer teas prepared this way.
This is the only way I make tea now, I think I'm getting addicted!
I make tea this way now ever since I received a portable Chinese tea set. Subsequently I went to buy 2 more portable sets , tray, accessories.

I noticed that error in the video too. The 公道杯 or "fair cup" is the one you serve with. Otherwise, very informative though!
That's right. The "fair/fairness cup" he said is acutally a gaiwan.
@@simplyjanice right!
It gave me a big smile when you fed some of the tea to your adorable little tea pet. 😀
I really like your tea pet! The idea of tea pets has completely captivated me.
This was SO helpful! My bf just got me a traditional tea set for my bday. So excited to enter into the magical way of brewing and drinking my tea! THANK YOU!
You are very welcome! Let me know if there are things that you might want to see a video on. Will try my best to accommodate.
This is crazy, My BF got me a traditional tea set for my birthday too😂

Wow...I am 27 years old on this earth and had no idea tea could be so intricate lol. I just might get into this, thanks for the video

Loved this video! There’s such a relaxing quality to brewing tea so mindfully and serving it in such delicate cups!
Thank you! Glad that you enjoyed it. I personally do find it very relaxing to brew this way.
Making and drinking Chinese Gong Fu tea is part of my relaxation routine. I love tea sets and bought a few when I was in China last time
Just because you are not traditionally trained does not mean you are not traditionally knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing your culture, this is fascinating.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I have fallen in love with what I consider to be nutty aromatic qualities of Longjing tea. Also, from Fuyang.
This has to be the best video on Chinese tea I have seen. Thank you ❤

I have a clay tea set but it’s missing the second pot to transfer the brewed tea into. I love using it. It feels so cultured and more relaxing.
You can use anything for your serving pitcher really, I even used a small measuring cup at one time, creamer cups work well as long as they are large enough for the size of teapot you are using!
Thank you. I really enjoyed learning your family's Tea Tasting Ceremony.
This is my first time.
I just started my journey with Tea. this video was a great primer. thank you!

The whole set is beautiful and unique🙂
What an amazing video! As I learn more and more about tea and traditional brewing methods I’m intimated. Great job with this one! Thank you
Don't be! it's really not that difficult, just buy a simple set and try it out at home, it's very relaxing. I am glad that this video helped a little.

This was purchased in China in a merchant market. Unfortunately I am not able to find this same unit online.
What is the name (or the link) to this used tea set here?
W🥰w, golden information about tea ceremony process. 🙏.
Great content. Can you let me know where to get this exact set please? Thanks 😊
This is so great! Thanks so much for explaining this into all the details! I love tea so much and prefer to drink tea in small tea cups, which is how I came across Chinese tea set & now I'm learning about Chinese tea brewing/drinking style. Thank you
Where did you get that T-shirt! I want one!!! And great videos. Thank you.
Can I ask what's you got that big tray? It's beautiful!

Great video. Thorough and covers all the points (and more) that i was interested in learning. Thanks!
Great video! I was wondering what kettle that is you're using? The plate keeps the water at temperature, correct? I've been looking for something like that, but have trouble finding one so i would love to know what brand/type it is! :)
Your video is informative and very helpful. Video has segments for easy viewing of a particular topics and subtitle is also present for those who can't hear the video. Very inclusive indeed. New subscriber here! Thank you for this video. I have a question though. How do you use your tea set? With dishwashing soap or just rinse it with hot water? Thanks in advance for the answer.
A fine video!
I prefer clay,Yixing.
I have a little teapot,I even took it with me to London recently.
It serves me well!
I tend to prefer the Puerh,but Oolong is also a delight.
Thx for sharing. I also enjoy loose leaf teas but being an American I never heard the Chinese method. Very interesting
Thank you for this great video! How much tea do you use for this method?
thank you so much, this was very useful.
Love this video! Nicely done! I have a question for you, or for anyone in the comments who may know the answer: Can you add things (like honey, sugar, milk, etc.) to tea in these clay pots and cups?
Amazing contentttt. Do you drink tea for health purposes?
Very informative .. Its time.to unbox my tea set and try it out..
Thank you for sharing this. Lovely.
As a guest, how do you manage drips from the bottom of the cup
Where did you buy your specific tea set please? 😊
Very nice, and very informative. Thank you! 🙂

Thank you XICups!
Where did you get that GORGEOUS large tea tray?
I got this during a trip back to China in a merchant's market. Basically like a little street fair but with mostly tea sellers.
Amazing video!! Can you clarify how long do you steep the for the first time (the one that you throw out)?
Very neat and informative... Thanks
So interesting and helpful, thank you!
Brother, many tea sets comes with two types of cups, the regular one, and skinny higher one, is that true this second type purpose are only for smelling the aroma?
Great video
