Kung Fu tea

Recently I saw a TV program from a Chinese TV Channel. It was about cooking and every kind of nice ingredients you can buy in a market. The presenter was preparing some Chinese green tea with a Chinese tea set and said 'Now let's drink some Kung Fu tea'. What was Kung Fu tea? You might ask. Is it some kind of Kung Fu you can master by just drinking tea? Or is it some kind of tea which will improve your Kung Fu? That will be great if such tea exists.

In this case Kung Fu has nothing to do with the martial arts itself. Kung Fu can also mean skills or work. The meaning of Kung Fu depends on the context in which it is used. In this case Kung Fu tea means that it is tea which has to be prepared with a lot of work and time. Everything is relative. Drinking Chinese tea requires more work and time comparing to drinking a cup of tea by just dropping a small tea bag in a cup of hot water. But the result and taste of Kung Fu tea is of course much better. In the IT industry there is a saying when an information system is made: garbage in, garbage out. For preparing Kung Fu tea I will say: tea leaves of good quality and experienced tea preparing skills in, fantastic cups of tea out :)
