This was very helpful and interesting. It was the only video that I could find that simplified it enough for a beginner. 👍

Thank you Mia!! That was my very intention with this video, so I'm elated that it could serve that purpose for you. Keep me posted on your journey with Gongfu Cha and don't hesitate to reach out if you come across other questions :)

Amazing tutorial, thank you very much

[@Boomer715]

Awesome! Been meaning to move to a more traditional tea set. Appreciate that you have made a business of something you love!

[@wumountaintea]

Hi David,
The tea set is great! Lately, my go-to for daily drinking is just a small clay teapot and teacup. The bigger set is perfect for having friends over, or on slower days when I feel like taking an hour or two to just sit and sip tea.
Thanks for watching and commenting :)

1:37, I read that the first infusion is for your enemies, the second is for your wife, and the third is for yourself. Would you serve the first infusion to someone you didn't like?

What do you do with all the first couple of steeps if a particular tea doesn’t reach optimal flavor until 4+ steeps?
