Gongfu Tea Art originated in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and is one of the most representative forms of Chinese tea culture. It integrates spirit, etiquette, brewing skills, appreciation, and quality evaluation, forming a complete and refined tea ceremony system. The Japanese tea ceremony and Taiwanese tea culture both trace their roots to Chaozhou Gongfu Tea.
In the Chaozhou dialect, “Gongfu” means being meticulous and thoughtful in one’s actions. In tea culture, it refers to the careful way of brewing and tasting tea, with strict attention to teaware, tea leaves, water quality, brewing method, and flavor.

This Set of Five Yixing Clay Gongfu Tea Cups is crafted from purple clay in five different tones, mainly red, yellow, and brown in varying shades.
