Gung Fu Tea Ceremonies & Private Tea Instruction in Asheville

Gung Fu Tea is the art of brewing tea with mindfulness, precision, and heart.

With only two ingredients — leaf and water — the depth you can explore is profound. Unlike steeping tea all at once, this practice unfolds in a series of short infusions, revealing an arc in flavor, energy, and spirit.

For me, Gung Fu Tea is both a meditative practice and a way to work with the body’s energetic system. High-quality Chinese teas can be grounding, uplifting, or deeply calming — and can be sequenced to create a gentle energetic journey.

When we sit for tea, we’re having a conversation — not just with each other, but with the leaf itself. Each pour, each steeping, reveals a little more. The people present shape the tea as much as the water and the pot. It’s an invitation to slow down, connect, and simply be.

I offer Gung Fu Tea sessions in Asheville for individuals or small groups of up to six. For one person, the session is often just under an hour; with more guests, the experience may run a bit longer. The pacing is guided entirely by the tea itself. We follow where the tea takes us, allowing depth to unfold naturally, and closing with a gradual, gentle landing rather than an abrupt end.
