#1 Kungfucha

Hello My Dear Tea Friends.

"Kungfucha"...... how do you feel about this name? Maybe it sounds like a martial arts movie!?

"Cha" means tea. So what about "Kungfu"? Actually, it is much much more than just martial arts as most Westerners believe....

In Chinese language, the deepest meaning of "Kungfu" is: spending a long time on an object or practice, with technique of single-pointed concentration. And with an ultimate goal of a deeper understanding of your soul attained through the practice.

And then once you have some understanding and gain a degree of improvement then it is said you "have Kungfu" - Kungfu becomes a quality as well as a practice - and following on from Kungfu as you achieve higher levels of understanding and practical wisdom you become “Sifu” :)

So, when we talk about Kungfucha, the first prerequisite is high concentrated (think espresso!) and high quality tea.

Only the highest quality tea leaves should be used to prepare Kungfucha. If the quality is not good enough, the high concentration infused tea will only bring you a bitter taste, unpleasant after-taste, a sense of irritation, and even sometimes a sick feeling.

But with real high quality leaves, properly prepared, one cup of kungfu tea can make you feel relaxed, your skin alive, a sense of your body becoming lighter and your soul attracted by the qualities of such high quality Kungfucha: deep flavour, long lasting and beautiful after-taste, and a sense of moving into a peaceful, empty and bright space….

Why don’t you take time now, and stop for a cup of tea ?

And then take time to leave us a comment below :)
