THE ART & SKILL OF TEA BREWING

( KONG FU / gŭng′ foo͞′ / TIME & PATIENCE )

BORN OF THE CHAO ZHOU TRADITION, KONG FU CHA REFERS TO THE TIME AND PATIENCE OF ACQUIRED SKILL IN THE ART OF TEA EXTRACTION.

BALANCING TIME, TEMPERATURE & ATTENTION, THE ART OF KONG FU BREWING MAKES THE MOST OF A SINGLE DOSE OF LEAVES BY EMBRACING THE RISE AND RELEASE OF FLAVOR INTENSITY THROUGH MULTIPLE INFUSIONS. 

USING SMALL TRADITIONAL HAND-MADE TEAWARE, EACH SHORT INFUSION OF KONG FU CHA IS A CONCENTRATED SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE.

BREWING KONG FU UNLOCKS A LAYERED EXPERIENCE WITH EACH SIP AS THE TEA LEAVES SHARE THEIR UNIQUE EXPRESSIONS OF VARIETAL, TERROIR & PROCESS.

THE DIVERSITY OF CULTURES THAT FIND COMMUNITY WITHIN THE INDUSTRY OF TRADITIONAL TEA EVIDENCE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A GLOBAL COHERENCE THAT REVOLVES AROUND SUSTAINABILITY, THROUGH THE PRODUCTION OF QUALITY.
