One of our fondest tea-travel memories comes from an afternoon in the Taiwanese countryside learning about oolong with a tea master. His lesson was simple: drinking tea should make you smile. And it does—especially when brewed in a gaiwan. If you’re new to this method, don’t worry—it’s easier than it looks, and with a little practice you’ll soon master the art of preparing tea gong fu cha style.
