Experience · Chaoshan

Let a small cup become the point of the afternoon

Arrange a gongfu-tea session in Chaozhou’s old city when you want to slow down and notice differences in brewing. Ask the host to compare successive infusions of the same tea before changing to another: that makes the tasting easier to follow. Say whether you want to learn, buy or simply enjoy tea, and agree the charge in advance. The visit can be a satisfying cultural pause between street and river walks without becoming a long shopping tour. Choose a specific host for your date rather than assume a named class is always offered.

A tea session may also be a sales interaction; language, price and teaching depend on the host.
