Express Gong Fu Brewing
Quality with speed! Brew it fast, brew it right.
As someone who’s obsessed with Gong Fu Cha (Gong Fu Brewing), I admit, sometimes washing the gongfu cups each round and not using a Gong Dao Bei (pitcher) when serving a big group could be a bit of a hassle..
And what happens when you are drinking alone and still fancy some gongfu?
This is a simplified version of Gong Fu Cha (Gong Fu Brewing).

+ a pitcher for a group
or a bigger cup over 100ml for yourself only

A tea towel to replace the tea tray,
