( Waitlist,please DM) Chinese Tea Gathering & Cultural Sharing: Gong Fu Style[Sign up vis Hipsy](https://hipsy.be/event/153966-chinese-tea-gathering-in-gong-fu-style-amsterdam)
What people say about it:
“**A real revelation**”
"Immersive, Informative, Intimate"
"Wholesome"
“Enormous passion for her roots”,
“ The most convivial and informative of tea drinking experiences “
"Beyond tea tasting"
"Gentle healing"
Our gatherings are rooted in the **ever-evolving** Chinese tea culture.
We explore how contemporary Chinese people enjoy tea in daily life, discover its beauty, and reflect on **the philosophies and mindsets** behind it.
I also call it an **honest tea-sensing experience.** Around tea, countless stories have been told or imagined. The story I’d like to share is the one already present — **in the tea itself, and in our bodies.**
In our stories, we search for “herbal remedies from the mountains and delightful moments at a writing desk”.
We serve top-quality teas that carry **a comforting Qi:** no jitters but calm, no bitterness but transformation.
For me, it’s like opening a window for European friends to glimpse Chinese tea culture - a taste and **a reference point for what tea means back home**. In each gathering, we follow the changes of the tea, let our imagination wander, and enjoy the journies it takes us on.
**Not a ceremony**, not a tradition
beyond tasting, beyond organic
To give you an idea, below are the teas we'll be serving in Brussels (11/10 ) and Amterdam ( 19/10 )
Depending on the number of participants and the time we have,
we will taste 3 to 4 different teas,experiencing
the **terroir of the mountains,**
the **character of heirloom varietals,**
the artistry of suitable **processing methods,**
and immersing ourselves in an **Eastern aesthetic.**
**Yellow Tea** \- Wild Laochuan tea from the Hengduan Mountains\, Sichuan
heirloom varietal, Spring 2025. First flush, first pluck; grown by nature, with abundant tea energy (chaqi).
**Oolong Tea** \- Dongfang Meiren \(Oriental Beauty\) from Fujian\, bitten by small green leafhoppers\, 2024\. From an ecological tea garden\, with intertwining honey\, floral\, and fruity aromas\.
**Dark Tea (Hei Cha)** \- Heirloom varietal tea trees\, semi\-wild in deep mountains\, Spring 2016\. Fresh woody and floral notes\, pure dark tea with a cooling sensation\, and a pronounced Hui Gan \( Returning Sweetness \)
**Black Tea (Hong Cha)** \- Zhengshan Xiaozhong \(Lapsang Souchong\) from Tongmu\, Wuyi Mountains – heirloom varietal\, Spring 2023\.
Withered and smoked over native pinewood inside village houses, then roasted. Pine smoke fragrance with longan-sweet liquor and floral undertones.
If you'd like, you can also try brewing the tea in Gong Fu styl yourself.
**"The only thing that does not change is change itself"**, this also applies to Chinese tea culture. We are excited to hold a space where we create our unique experience together.
The teas may be different for each gathering , but the love and passion we infuse will be just as strong, and for some of you, it will be a real revelation.
Reserve your spot for **this convivial and informative gathering** in an intimate circle, where everyone shares, and every sense is engaged.
Warmly,
Wenwei Zhang
