- This ceremonial tea drinking style is meant to focus one’s attention and relax the mind and spirit in a convivial, shared experience. Paying close attention to the evolving taste and aroma of the tea, slowing to observe the dance of its leaves against beautiful Yixing ceramic cups enhances one’s appreciation of both the tea and the moment. There is nothing like Gong Fu to create a warm, intimate atmosphere among friends.
