I wouldnโ€™t personally call โ€œGong Fu Chaโ€ a ceremony, more like a โ€œdisciplineโ€ since thatโ€™s sort of the idea behind โ€œGong Fuโ€ its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but thatโ€™s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.

I also donโ€™t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature youโ€™ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.

Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then itโ€™s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community Iโ€™m aware of on lemmy. Though itโ€™s super inactive right now; I should probably contributeโ€ฆ
