#2 Kungfucha

Hello My Dear Tea Friends.  

After talking about Pu-erh tea last week, let’s get back to the Kungfucha topic : )

Some of you may ask: "Which kind of tea should be used for Kungfucha-style preparation?"

Well, I can tell you that the main kinds of tea suitable for Kungfucha are Oolong families (ie. Rock Oolong tea) and taged (15+years post fermented) Pu-erh. However Green tea, Black tea and White teas are not suitable. Why? Anybody know? 

Today we will use Rock Oolong tea ... 


We need:

• a 150-200cc Kungfucha style teapot
• 3 small ceramic cups
• 2/3 pot volume tea leaves
• and 100 degrees C water

The first round is for "washing" (cleaning the tea of any impurities) and to warm up the cups;

The second round: pour the boiling water into the pot, 5 seconds later, directly pour the tea into the ceramic cups in turns;

The third round needs to wait 10 seconds, fourth round needs to wait 30 seconds, fifth round needs to wait 1 minute... Normally, the Rock Oolong tea can be made up to 10 infusions.

The below photos give you a visual idea.... These show me preparing Dahongpao Wu Yi Rock Oolong Kungfucha-style.

Between each round, you can take a break for 3 minutes.

Thinking, talking, reading ... And feeling the kick back : )

Of course, you can adjust the time for the tea making, to control the taste (lighter or stronger) to satisfy yourself , your friends, your family.

To enhance the environment of drinking Kungfucha, you can listen to music, the sounds of nature or burn incense. Burning incense is most suitable for meditation and quiet contemplation when drinking tea alone.

Why don’t we stop and make Kungfucha now?

 

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