Kung Fu Tea

For the sake of my expensive "High Mountain Oolong Tea", I learnt the art of preparing tea "KungFu" style. Money is also a great motivator.

To me, brewing tea Kung Fu cha style is enjoyable and calming. My wife thinks I am wasting my time, but to me it makes sense to brew tea "Kung Fu" style because the tea leaves are less likely to be over steeped (over steeped tea taste bitter). Also, I gain a more relaxed state of mind and body after a tiring day at work as the process is quite meditative and calming (eg. watching the steam rise, sipping the tea, appreciating the fragrance). Kung Fu Cha makes me take time to appreciate the simpler pleasures in life. Tea becomes more than just a beverage when done the "Kung Fu" way.

I forgot to mention that it is also a good way to pass advertisment time when watching televison programs.

Some basic equipment is required for practical and aesthetic reasons. But generally the equipment are not expensive (though one has the option of going high end). Below is my entry level teaware which cost about S$35. If you are interested in purchasing one set, email me (Singapore Only).
