The Chinese term "Gongfu" does not only refer to tea, but to anything that is created or conducted with great effort or skill. In connection with tea, we speak of "Gongfu Cha" (cha is the Cantonese word for tea).
The Gongfu tea ceremony is with the traditional tea tray, yixing clay tea pot, tea picture, tea cups, tea smelling cups
and the gaiwan cup and saucers.
