Tieguanyin, Phoenix Shan Zong, ginseng oolong tea, Pu 'er, etc. Most of them are kung fu soaking methods, commonly known as kung fu tea.
There is plenty of morning tea in Guangdong as breakfast, and many of them are the whole family sitting around a table and enjoying family happiness. Others use teahouses as places for entertainment, chatting with friends and socializing. Most people who kill time in this way are idle retired people. They usually come first and leave last. They buy a newspaper, ask for a pot of tea, order two kinds of snacks and read them while eating. You can sit in the teahouse until it closes in the morning. Inviting tea is also a common social way in Guangdong. It is a pleasant pastime for friends to gather in the teahouse to enjoy food, contact feelings, exchange information and even have business talks. It is no exaggeration to say that morning tea is a way of life in Guangdong. Like Guangzhou people, it is also a regional culture to put a few cups of side dishes on it and have a normal breakfast, but now it is a pleasant elegance. In the old days, the couplets of a teahouse in Guangzhou were well written: busy for the name, busy for profit, busy for leisure, having a cup of tea; Work hard, work hard, have fun in pain, and bring a pot of wine. This is also the expression of Cantonese people's mentality of enjoying life. It's morning tea, but tea is only a supporting role, and snacks, porridge and various side dishes are the protagonists. Cantonese dim sum is so varied and exquisite. Eating morning tea in Guangzhou is definitely indispensable for porridge, such as fish porridge, preserved egg lean porridge, pork liver porridge and so on. As the name implies, you know the taste.
Chaozhou tea culture is another important series of Guangdong tea culture, especially known as "Kung Fu Tea". "Kung Fu" was originally a tea name (a kind of Chinese tea) and later evolved into a method of making tea.
Chaozhou kungfu tea is characterized by exquisite tea set and exquisite cooking, and expresses love with tea.
The tea set of Kung Fu tea is often "multiple pieces in one type", and a set of tea has a teapot. Tea tray, teacup, tea cushion, teapot, water bottle, dragon jar, water bowl, clay stove, sand pot, tea bucket, feather fan, etc. It's usually 12. If 12 pieces are all excellent, they are called "Twelve Treasures". If 8 pieces are fine, or 4 pieces are fine, they are called "eight treasures".
Kung fu tea is different from ordinary tea drinking. The difference between the two is that you gulp and gulp, but you savor it in a small cup. The meaning of tea tasting is not so much to quench one's thirst as to taste the fragrance of tea and tell one's feelings with tea.
Kung fu tea pays special attention to the etiquette of eating tea. After the tea is finished, the host and guests are always humble, and then please the elders and distinguished guests to taste it first, stick the cup to your lips, face the tea with your nose, smell the tea and sip it. Kung fu tea is a traditional "tea ceremony" in Guangdong.
