Kung fu tea is a kind of tea tasting fashion in Chaoshan area, which is famous for its uniqueness and exquisiteness. The so-called congou tea means that the way of making tea is very particular, and it takes a certain amount of effort to operate. The basic feature of congou tea is that it must be "hard" to operate, which can be summarized in one sentence: make oolong tea in a small pot and cup. The small teacups in the teapot can not only keep the tea fragrant, but also because drinking congou is often not for quenching thirst, but for recreation and enjoyment, and as an important means of welcoming guests. It is often difficult for outsiders to understand this. They always wonder why they don't use a bigger cup when drinking water.

The origin of congou tea:

According to textual research, congou tea originated from the tea drinking custom in Song Dynasty. Because the literati pay attention to reason and interest in tea tasting and pursue spiritual and cultural enjoyment in the process of drinking tea, tea sets are becoming more and more delicate and exquisite.

Exquisite brewing of congou tea;

Kung Fu tea is the most exquisite, exquisite and famous tea ceremony in China, and it is the peak of tea culture.

Kung fu tea pays great attention to the selection of tea, water, tea set, brewing method and taste. Tea should be good in shape, taste and color; Making tea requires clean and sweet water, with mountain springs as the top, river water as the middle and well water as the bottom; The vermilion mud products made in Yixing, Jiangsu Province are the best tea sets. Porcelain cups should be small, white and bright. Tea making pays attention to the technology of "high rushing and low sprinkling, scraping the top, Guan Gong patrolling the city, and Han Xin ordering troops"; Tea tasting not only pays attention to color, fragrance and taste, but also pays attention to "the charm of the bottom of the throat".

The procedure and etiquette of drinking tea are more complicated. For example, after tea is rushed out, the tea maker usually doesn't drink it first, and invites guests or others present to drink it. Generally, the next cup is taken first, and the last person takes the middle cup. Also, if a distinguished guest comes in the process of drinking tea, he has to change the tea and make tea again.
