Caina Tea
Добавлен 16 авг 2014
We are a husband and wife couple, one American and one Chinese, who are dedicated to educating the American public about Chinese culture. Patrick spent five years living, working, traveling, and learning about China. He met Xianna about 6 months into his trip through China. They met in the beautiful region of Yangshuo, Guangxi and have been inseparable since their first match-made date.
The name Caina Tea comes from a combination of Xianna's family name, Cai, and her middle/second half of her first name, Na. Together they make CainNa, pronounced China. She is from the famous Chaoshan (Chaozhou) region of Guangdong Province, right on the Fujian border. This is the area credited with first making the famous Gongfu Tea Ceremony a part of daily life, and they are the ones who defiantly kept the art form alive during the Cultural Revolution. She grew up with Gongfu tea. Patrick naturally learned to love tea from her, and now they travel and educate others.

Gong Fu Tea Service with a Gaiwan

The Chinese Kung Fu Tea Ceremony, or Gongfu Cha, is an ancient Chinese functional art form. The exact origins of the Chinese Tea Ceremony are unknown, but the Chaoshan region is credited with making the ceremony a part of daily life (it's just how Xianna's people drink tea) and keeping the art form alive during the troubles of the Cultural Revolution. But to be clear, the correct term for this style of tea drinking is Gong Fu Cha, and there really is no ceremony to speak of. It's how Chaoshan and the neighboring regions drink tea on a daily basis.

This is a long one, but you get a good sense of Chinese mountain climbing this way. If you ever visit China, you're sure to climb at least a few thousand steps. If don't climb ancient stairs, then you don't see China. Just look at that view though!
Pomeranian Discovering a Water a Buffalo

She was drinking at the river and hadn't noticed the gigantic water buffalo for a few minutes. Then it moved, and she went crazy. It was really funny to witness. She later jumped straight into the current and started swimming, like nothing was wrong. I had to jump in and grab her by the tail before she got swept away!
Where Tea Tables are Born

Every wondered where those elaborate tea tables come from? It's often just a guy with a workshop and a passion for tea. These guys are GOOD. Just like all tea people, the table makers are very relaxed and happy to explain their craft. If you can afford one, it'll be your most prized possession.
How to Get to a Tea Plantation

This is an example of the adventures we had trying to get to tea mountains. For this one we had to rent our own motorbike and find our own way, but I prefer to be in control on these crazy cliff-sided country roads. Some of our journeys involve buses or vans driving at reckless speeds, with sheer drops on either side. I know I'm not going to fall asleep at the wheel, but I can't guarantee other...

Yangshuo's West Street is getting out of control. This is a good example of how tourism works in China. Chinese people actually seem to like the crowds - I know that they typically get uncomfortable without them! Be warned.

How can i get a table like that???
I got a tea ceremony kit but I didn't know how to use it, thank you!
This is for me personally by far the greatest chinese tea ceremony to watch: So calm, no „star attitude“ but in a very nice, decent and calming way for the viewer. Thank you for broadcasting this. ✌️🫖🍵☕️
Sieht schön aus, zweifellos. Aber als Durstlöscher ziehe ich einen großen Becher vor. Diese großen Becher gibst in China auch. Man verzeihe mir die etwas Kunstabholede Ansicht.😇
Un ritual precioso y saludable gracias

Gong fu surely does waste a lot of quality water
Posted by Jessica Jacobson on
thank you,
I think it needs at least 2min for tea extraction! It's too fast! Like just warm water!
In gongfu cha, the tea is usually brewed pretty fast because the tea is meant to be brewed multiple times (it can vary from 6 times to 15 times depending the type of tea). This way, the color and flavor of the tea will develop every consecutive brew until the leaves are spent.
I want study Shaolin kungfu in China 👍😌
Mesmerising
thought in a Gongfu ceremony each movement is supposed to be graceful, controlled and precise - like you are practising Zhong Guo Wushu?
Wushu is gymnastics with metallic toys. The effort that goes into making a quality cup of tea takes experience to understand.
@@bp5662 Spoken like someone truly ignorant of the effort, beauty and gracefulness of Wushu. I didn't want to use the more general term "Zhong Guo Gongfu" because obviously Gongfu just refers to "hard work" and doesn't specifically have to mean martial arts and also could be easily confused with referring to Gongfu tea. Also didn't want to use "Tajiquan" because that level of gracefulness, precision, intention and beauty aren't limited to Tajiquan or soft/slow Chinese martial arts - it can be found in hard, fast forms too.
Why are u pouring the tea or water out on the board?
It is to clean the equipment. Most Chinese use the hot water to clean the cups. They also pour the tea out the first time to clean the tea leaves and dust that was like collected on the dried tea leave . Usually if you don’t pour it out the first time it will be the most bitter but as you keep steeping the tea the taste will be more lighter and not as strong .

What does it mean. When you serve somebody tea spill it on purpose?
So far one of the top 3 best videos of Chinese tea ceremony
Thank you! Just for the record, there's no such thing as Chinese tea ceremony. What's often misnomered as a ceremony is gongfu tea. But it's just how we drink tea in the Chaoshan region.
I like the color of the tea ware similar to duck egg shell blue color of Ru ware.
Beautiful!
DAAAAAAMN
Very nicely done. I have not seen a tea table like the one you use before, it’s very nice, very roomy.
Wow! Wonderful!
That smile at the end made the whole video:))
This was a very good education, in the use of making tea. As I will normally steep my tea for over 15 minutes, plus will never throw away the first steep. As again I will always drink my tea as it... After, watching this I am going to do this for my teas. 20 second steep, throw away, then 2 steep to drink after 20 seconds. Thank you for sharing.
I used to think seeping for longer was better. But now I see a 15 minute seep as crazy long. Most tea leaves give out their best flavours in the first 30 seconds to 1 & a half minutes. A single seep that lasts longer than 2 minutes is usually bitter, no matter what the tea.

It's not cricket! It's a katydid. Katydids are not grasshoppers. Katydids differ from the long moustache from grasshoppers and the location of the slingshot apparatus and the shape of the egg-sledge from crickets. By the way, grasshoppers rattle their feet and herbivores, and this katydid in general should be fed more insects, not plants, because this species - mostly predatory.
I know the term cricket for years has been specified with Gryllidae - however, after 40+ years of chasing these things around I came to a big realization, even taxonomy verifies this, there’s two types of Orthopterans; there’s Caelifera [Grasshopers], and there’s Ensifera [Crickets - everything we can commonly term in the orthopteran realm are but variations of genetic extravagance between one or the other. My case and point - it’s okay to refer to a “Katydid” (Tettigoniidae) as a “bush-cricket“, or generally speaking, “a type of cricket”, because biologically speaking, one would be absolutely correct. As a matter of fact, when I notice that Katydids, academically or commonly are still being referred to as “long-horned grasshoppers”, it practically vexes me to nausea. Every grasshopper I have ever examined has short antennae, even-segmented palps, tympanic membranes on the sides of the abdomen, [female] internal ovipositors, and [male] stridulation by means of rubbing the hind leg files against the wing scrapers. On the opposite side of the coin, every cricket I’ve studied has long antennae (with the exception of mole crickets and cooloola monsters), tympanic membrane‘s under the front knees, palps ending in three distinctly elongated segments, [female] external ovipositors, and [male] stridulation via wing-on-wing (file-on-scraper) rubbing together - Katydids are no biological exception, but are in fact the epitome of what a cricket is in it grandest form! 👍🏾 I rest my case 😁.
These tables are absolutely beautiful!!!! I wish I could afford one! Those tables are fit for an emperor!
Wow, that is some truly beautiful countryside. Finger crossed for it not being destroyed like so much else we humans do.
That sucking sound is very disturbing. xD
@S M Are you completely stupid? How can a water sucking pump be a part of a culture, or even a cultural activity such as a tea ceremony?
Hello! Thank you so much for the clear demonstration of how to properly brew green tea. I have some questions, I hope you can help me understand. First, the tray. I have never before seen a wooden tray like this, on which hot water is poured. Can you explain about it? Where does the hot water go? How is the tray maintained and taken care of? Does the hot water damage or warp the wood? Do you empty the tray of water after finishing the drinking of tea? Second question: You put something on top of one of the containers. It is not clear to me, what this thing is. Is it a strainer? Or, is it a funnel? I could not get a clear look at its inside.
The trays are made out of many different materials. They are typically required for gongfu tea service, as there can be a lot of waste water. There is a plastic tube at the base leading down to a wastewater bucket that needs to be emptied regularly. Gravity pulls all the water away and down. The material of the table isn't important, though clay and hardwoods are preferred. The more affordable ones are made of bamboo or a glue-pressed imitation bamboo. The circular tool placed over the fair cup (pitcher) is simply a silk screen to catch the extra tea leaf particles that may escape the crude lid-only filtration. That way you end up with a very clear liquid to drink. It's optional. In fact, a gongfu tea set is complete with only a brewing vessel (teapot or gaiwan) and three cups. Everything else is optional. The sets can get very intricate, but gongfu cha is not a dance or a ceremony, as it's often referred to as and performed for tourists in China. It's a way to brew the espresso equivalent for tea. No right or wrong way. Nothing mystical about it, except the perfect flavor you'll eventually learn to infuse.
