What Is Gongfu Tea Style

Lately, we've been fascinated by the art of tea rituals. We had a chance to spend a fun morning with Jesse Appell of Jesse's Teahouse— an online destination where he curates great tea, shares how to make it, and sends it to his tea community around the world. He has amassed a loyal following on TikTok and Instagram, among other platforms, where he shares Gongfu tea culture with the world.

In this video, he shares the basics of Gongfu tea style and breaks down the different components of the tea set in a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. 

Jesse uses the Brewista Artisan Gooseneck Kettle in Iridescent Unicorn and the Gongfu Tea Tray Set.
