Kung Fu Tea Ceremony

Kung Fu translates as "skill" or "capability." A Kung Fu Tea ceremony is a way of preparing tea with great skill and mastery that helps bring people closer to Nature - both their own true nature and the essence of the Earth.

The first known writing on the uncompromising and revered steps to serve tea are attributed Lu Yu, author of "The Classic of Tea," which was published 760 and 780 CE. Lu Yu believed that tea symbolized the harmony and mysterious unity of the Universe.

The steps involved in a tea ceremony evoke the purity, essence, and soul of the tea leaves, and involve all of the senses of the participants.

In Chinese culture there is a great tradition concerning tea. This tradition may be introduced with two words; Cha Tao, The way of tea. The philosophy about Cha Tao aims to encourage people to return to nature. In other words, it is pursuit of all that is pure and simple.
