Gong Fu Tea Service

This Chinese method of tea preparation means “done well” and it requires time and focus, delivering a more aromatic and flavorful infusion than those prepared using the more familiar western method of tea preparation. I am happy to be able to incorporate this cultural aspect of tea into the shop and guide you further through your own tea journey.

This is an appointment-only service and up to four appointments may be accommodated at a time. Each session lasts about 1.5 hours and costs $30, paid upon booking. It includes multiple infusions of the tea that you select from the Gong Fu Tea menu and there are 3-7 infusions, depending on the tea selected and as time allows. It also includes a Gong Fu lesson, if you like, so that you may incorporate this method into your own tea ritual at home.

The menu is crafted and rotated seasonally and is curated from the larger origin tea offering available in the shop.

The winter menu is now available:
Laoshan Village Green Tea – Shandong, China
Satemwa Estate Antlers White Tea – Malawi
Ben Shan Medium Roast Wulong Tea – Anxi, Fujian, China
Wild-Grown Ancient Tree Wulong Tea – Vietnam
Golden Curls Black Tea – Guangxi, China
Kanoka Estate Black Tea – Assam, India
2013 Shou Pu-er Brick – Yunnan, China
