I often wonder if the first teas to come west were so bad that people felt that adding milk and sugar improved the taste. Otherwise, why would you! As an Englishman, I wonder how many of my countrymen have ever tasted good tea.

Hi! What an amazing and insightful video and introduction! For I would like to learn about tea brewing and how to brew Gong Fu method more. I’m curious, could I buy a full tea set for the experience and method? I’m from England and I’m interested in learning the full tea brewing experience from China, the experience and how it works. Would buying a Gaiwan tea set be alright? :)

Isn't the tea needle a needed part of the 6 gentlemen, as some people are drinking Gongfu Cha style using Tea cakes ?
@TeaSmithWay5 ай бұрын
Tea needle is always useful, especially some antique pots do not have filter on the inner side of the spout, so the spout can become clogged during a pour. You can solve this by using a needle after the spout has clogged, but that’s not so great as your pour is spoiled. Another way is to make a “tea nest” - which is something few people seem to know about.

If Gongfu style brewing requires, "skill" to brew tea, and Western style is the opposite? It follows then that one can conclude that, Western style brewing doesn't take any, "skill." 🤪🤣😂😅

skill issue tbh
@deltapi68805 ай бұрын
Gongfu means to do something skilfully or mindfully. Western style is a blanket term for doing a small amount of leaves in a large pot, but this too can be a “gongfu”. The style of tea referred to as gongfu is simply the most common method for those doing mindful/skillful tea making.

I'm curious. Why did you only do that water seal method for the last two brewing methods and not the first two? Also I've seen other guides recommending longer steeping times like 15-30 seconds for each infusion. Is that just a preference thing? Like some people like 8 stronger infusions instead of 15 lighter ones? Or is it based on the tea itself, like was I looking at something for tightly curled oolongs that isn't applicable to like a Long jing?

Hi. I have never heard the word "gong fu cha" in China, except several times for a designated traditionnal ChaoZhou 泡茶 method, which doesn't use a GongDaoBei. Or For the GongFu HongCha red tea style. Is there a reason why we heard this word "gongfucha" so much in Western countries and not in China?

@tealover4664 Жыл бұрын
I think you forgot a very important strep which is right after you heat up( or rinse ) the tea ware. You should always rinse the the leaves and throw that liquid away, then drink the next one. For shou puerh, a lot of time you should rinse twice then drink the next one. 😊
@sereneteachateaeducationgo502 Жыл бұрын
Yes I agree :) I have included that in the written instruction but didn’t show it. However, I also believe it’s a personal preference as I have come across many people who also drink the ‘rinse’ infusion since they want to be involved in every step. You should never rinse green tea though if you do practice rinsing 😊
@l3n693 Жыл бұрын
As far as I know, that's only for highly oxidized teas like Oolong and some black teas
@SarahS.-re7yi18 күн бұрын
My suggestion would be to not rinse green teas or more delicate (buds) red teas. Such a waste to throw away those fresh and delicate flavours and aromas that can only be found in that very first steep. I always love that first cup the most for these kinds of teas. Very elegant flavours.

Firstly, thank you for this amazing and lovely video! This was my first REAL Chinese tea, that I got through an old Chinese friend many years ago. I was wondering how I could support the farms here, like Bei Bei's, if there was a way to buy tea directly from them or through a store that ensures the profits go to them to help preserve this ancient tea? Thank you and Love from Canada!

@sereneteachateaeducationgo5022 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😊 white tea doesn’t have as high of a caffeine content in general as black tea, for example. It has something to do with steeping time, the longer you steep a tea, the more caffeine you tend to extract. You can try fresh shou mei, white peony or silver needle, or aged ones would be great as well!

Thank you for all this information. I think I'm ready to explore this tea preparation method. I've been a black tea drinker for years, and have always brewed Western style. I was not aware that that method could burn the tea leaves. I have always had to add sweetener to make the tea palatable. I also enjoyed Pu Erh tea in the past, but stopped drinking it about a decade or so ago. I did most of my tea drinking at work back then, and brewing it Western style with the initial rinses proved to be too much of a hassle in that setting. I now work from home and want to get back into Pu Erh. Trying to refresh my memory on how to brew it lead me to exploring this method. I was never able to find any green or oolong teas that I liked brewed Western style. I might need to take another look at some of those styles of teas with this method as well.
@sereneteachateaeducationgo5022 жыл бұрын
Thank you for sharing your tea experience! I am glad you are going to restart Pu Erh tea and explore green & oolong from a different perspective. I don’t know what green & oolong you were buying in the past, but if the quality is good, oolong teas and black teas tend to produce a better result even if it’s brewed western style compared to other teas, but green teas can definitely be burned. If you need some advice for what kind of oolong teas to get started for gong fu cha practice and tend to produce a good result, feel free to let me know!

Thank you for watching! That’s a great question, but I don’t think there’s a fixed answer to it. I have tried fake smoked Lapsang tea with friends who are experienced in tea, and ironically we all agreed that it tasted amazing, until we came across the real one. It’s really hard to distinguish, but there are many things to consider, price, mouthfeel, taste, etc. I think one of the best ways is to know the source and compare side by side.
