Master Class

Traditional Chinese ceremony

Gong Fu Cha is an experience filled with symbolism in every single action, imbued with both Chinese philosophy and legends, and subtleties of purely practical meaning. In its traditional version, Gong Fu Cha is a highly stylized orthodox action, beautiful and full of ritualism, symbolism and attention to detail. This master class is for those of you who want to mute the outside world for a while and get back together to the soft core of our essence, immersing yourself and studying in detail the depths of a traditional Chinese ceremony. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the aesthetics of traditional utensils used in China by sipping on beautiful, authentic tea cups.

The traditional meets the modern

This master class is for all tea enthusiasts who want to learn how to make authentic cups of tea modeled after a Chinese tea ceremony in a busy urban environment, without compromising on quality. We will introduce you to the way we prepare our cup of Tea in the model of Gong Fu Cha - a process that is true to tradition but devoid of the ritual with which we usually associate a Chinese tea ceremony. You will learn our methodology on how to unlock the full potential of fresh tea leaves and maximize the health benefits of our brew using a few simple kitchen utensils. "Traditional meets the modern" is a way to acquire supernatural skills and follow the basic principles of the ancient Chinese tradition of Gong Fu Cha everywhere and at any time for a fresh cup of caffeinated tea and optimum beneficial effects on the body.
