"The term 'gongfu' denotes any skill that is developed through great practice such as chinese painting, martial arts or chinese tea making. Gongfu tea generally refers to the more formal preparation of chinese tea using small, unglazed teapots made of purple sand from Yixing, China. Gongfu tea preparation uses short, multiple infusions of a single batch of leaves, which brings out the maximum flavor of tea. It is a precise and thoughtful ritual that allows the tea lover to fully appreciate all the sensory aspects of tea, the beauty of the leaf and its subtle flavor and aroma. This method of brewing is recommended for unscented black and oolong teas. Because of the high temperatures used and the absorbency and insulation of Yixing teapots, green and scented teas are not recommended for this style of presentation.
