Sip slowly
Private gongfu tea ceremonies — ninety minutes, several teas, no hurry.
Gongfu cha
A way of paying attention
Small pots, short steeps, and the same leaves returning a little differently each time. Gongfu cha is less a performance than a practice — attention given to the tea, the water, and the people at the table.
The ceremony
Ninety minutes at the table
Just your party — up to three guests. A welcome tea to arrive with, then three or four teas chosen for the season, brewed through many infusions.
One guest — $65 · Two — $110 · Three — $150
