@ambucias Do you mean there is no "Universal Chinese Tea Ceremony" as I'm fairly sure that there are many different official tea ceremonies documented in China often depending on the type of tea. I have seen translated documents detailing formal tea ceremony procedures step by step.

So I agree that there is no one all encompassing tea ceremony in China, but to say there is no Chinese tea ceremony is in my mind going a bit to far.

there is no tea ceremony in China. this is a common misunderstanding with the japanese tes ceremony.

Whatever where you go in China, they can have different method and different tea preferences. but you only have WAY to make tea. A popular way to brew chinese tea is the Gong fu cha.

gong fu can be translated at skill and cha as tea.
