Discover tea in its most refined form through our Gongfu Tea Service. This traditional brewing method from southern China uses small teapots and several short infusions to gradually reveal the full depth of each tea’s aroma and flavor. Accompanied by classic tea ware and carefully crafted wooden trays, the ceremony encourages you to take your time, fully savor each cup, and explore the subtle and evolving nuances that make every infusion unique.
