The Gongfu Tea Ceremony Of China
The Gongfu tea ceremony of China deserves mention when talking about tea traditions around the world. It lays a lot of emphasis on details, down to the elaborate designs on the tiny pots and cups used in the ceremony. There's the whole shebang of tongs, tureen, strainers, a brewing tray, tea towels and the famous ‘scent cups’ which are used to sniff and not drink the strong and bitter tea. The cups are warmed with a wash of the first brew and tea is poured from high by arranging the cups in a circle. You don't just drink tea in this ceremony, you savour every last whiff of its aroma too!-
