Everybody was Gong Fu Fighting...

Here is my promised intro on Gong Fu. There are many books about the proper steps and techniques that are used in the ceremony but I will give a quick into and then a link to the video on you tube that helps to quickly introduce you to Gong Fu.
The Gong Fu tea ceremony is a ceremony of preparing loose leaf tea that originated in Fujian province during the late Ming Dynasty 450 years ago. It is a practice that is used to enjoy tea in groups. This is great for guests because the portions are small and the steep time is relatively short. Here is the video.


So much better that the Song style.
