What to Expect at a Chinese Tea Tasting

A gongfu tasting uses a small teapot or gaiwan and short, repeated infusions, so you can taste how a single tea changes from the first cup to the last. It's a good way to compare styles side by side, whether you're new to Chinese tea or already know your oolongs from your pu-erhs. You can explore teas like Phoenix oolong and aged pu-erh, and take home anything you enjoy from our full Chinese loose leaf tea collection.

What is a gongfu tea tasting?

Gongfu is a traditional Chinese method of brewing tea in a small vessel with short, repeated steeps and a high ratio of leaf to water. It lets you taste how a tea develops across many infusions, which is why it's the standard way to taste fine oolong, pu-erh and other Chinese teas.
