This is so beautiful and relaxing! Thank you!

This is for me personally by far the greatest chinese tea ceremony to watch: So calm, no „star attitude“ but in a very nice, decent and calming way for the viewer. Thank you for broadcasting this. ✌️🫖🍵☕️

Great relaxing and awesome film! Wooh!

Beautifully done. Thank you for all your work in educating Americans about Chinese tea.

This was a very good education, in the use of making tea. As I will normally steep my tea for over 15 minutes, plus will never throw away the first steep. As again I will always drink my tea as it... After, watching this I am going to do this for my teas. 20 second steep, throw away, then 2 steep to drink after 20 seconds. Thank you for sharing.

I used to think seeping for longer was better. But now I see a 15 minute seep as crazy long. Most tea leaves give out their best flavours in the first 30 seconds to 1 & a half minutes. A single seep that lasts longer than 2 minutes is usually bitter, no matter what the tea.

I enjoy watching - ancient ceremony, and delicate moves of this beautiful woman.

@@cainatea2829 I guess it depends on the definition used. In the formal sense: "a religious or public occasion, typically one celebrating a particular event or anniversary" it would definitely be situational. But the informal definition: "an act or series of acts performed according to a traditional or prescribed form" being that gongfu is a process with lots of steps made with intention behind each one, it's definitely a ceremony. You can't brew gongfu running out the door because you're late to work like you can with Western style.

Hypnotic. While I would love an explanation of each step of the ceremony, not knowing why she is doing what she is doing adds a layer of mystique to the entire process.

Could you tell me where you night your tea tray? I love it

AliExpress has a big variety of good quality tea trays & Gongfu tea items for very reasonable prices (mainly because it comes straight from the Chinese manufacturers and also because a lot of Chinese businesses that usually only sell items inside China sell on it)

What does it mean. When you serve somebody tea spill it on purpose?

How do you clean the teapot afterwards, please? Just rinse it in cold water until all the leaves are gone?

Knallbart Hot water is best. Chinese terracotta pots are unglazed on the inside by design. They are meant to be porous so the flavors absorb into the inside walls. For this reason, people often like to use only one tea, of the darker varieties, to season their pot. It's commonly believed that using only a single tea in each pot will improve the flavor over time. So there is no need to wash them, and never use soaps because the flavor of the soap will remain. Also, if you're worried about stains on the pot, that is also part of the seasoning process. Get a small brush and "paint" the pot with the liquid tea to get an even patina over the years.

Knallbart, zuerst den Tee aus der Kanne mit einer hölzernen Pinzette entfernen, und dann die Kanne mir heißem(!) Wasser spülen. Danach gut trocknen lassen. Sonst nichts.

When initially infusing dried tea leaves, they need to be "woken up". A quick splash of hot water over the leaves washes away any staleness that may be present on the dehydrated leaves.

Felis Tigris It's a way to warm up the teaware so the leaves infuse at full temperature. You don't want to brew in a cold teapot. That's why the table is there to drain the water away.

That sucking sound is very disturbing. xD
