Why choosing TITANS Deluxe Gongfu Tea?
Introduction of Gongfu Tea
Gongfu tea is a kind of Oolong tea. The origin of Gongfu tea is said to be in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. Gongfu is a Chinese way of brewing tea where the best characteristics of good loose-leaf tea are brought out by using a much higher leaf-to-water ratio than in standard brewing. Gongfu style suits all the main categories of tea, although the difference is especially noticeable with oolong tea and dark tea such as pu’er: they’re quite even and simple when steeped normally, but prepared in Gongfu style, they become much more complex in character and potent in their effects. Gōngfuchá (功夫茶/工夫茶) or Gongfu tea means tea made with skill, and indeed, consistently good steeping requires precision, good control over your equipment, and understanding the effects of many different variables.
The practice of pouring Gongfu tea can be simply characterized as follows:
Enjoying The Gongfu Tea
Gongfu style tends to draw much clearer notes out of a tea, and infusions can be very different from one another. That’s because tea leaves will give off different flavors at different temperatures or stages of infusion, and a single gongfu steeping takes a fairly precise and coherent slice out of a changing palette of flavors. In comparison, an ordinary strainer infusion has a much more stable character because it’s a bit like an average of several gongfu infusions and because the water cools down more during a longer steeping. As you drink your tea, pay attention to the tea’s aroma, taste and mouthfeel. It’s perfectly acceptable to slurp your tea: in fact, it helps in sensing aromas better and drinking tea hotter. Tasting tea doesn’t necessarily call for evaluating the tea according to how well its characteristics match your preferences: it can also be about receiving and accepting the whole sensory experience and any associations as they are. Owing to the greater-than-normal amount of leaves used, it may be easier to notice the effects of tea on your mood, your physical and mental feeling, and your way of sensing and thinking. After drinking some tea, you can delve into your internal world and observe streams of thought, be touched by emotions, or focus on internal and external sensations. Some common effects of good tea are relaxation, a physical or mental sense of wellbeing, a feeling of being present, a meditative or imaginative way of thinking, and a more aesthetically open perception. Tea may also stimulate you or make you drowsy. A state of mind noticeably changed by tea is called tea drunkenness (cházuì, 茶醉).

The practice of pouring Gongfu tea can be simply characterized as follows:
- High leaf:water ratio (usually about 8+ grams of tea for 4oz of water)
- Small brewing vessel: a gaiwan, or a yixing pot. And small drinking cups.
- Many short infusions in a row: infusions can be as little as 10 seconds and the same leaves can be infused 10, 15 or 20 times. With the later infusions the infusion time gets longer.
