6 Tea drama
Those looking for a little more excitement might be interested in attending a Chinese Gongfu tea ceremony during which a Kung Fu tea master presides over service.

The literal translation of gongfu cha is making tea with effort. Special care is taken to ensure that the right tea is made and served in the most efficient and optimal way. The temperature and serving method vary depending on the type of tea used.

“The guests of Umai at The Oberoi, Dubai can expect to be dazzled by Crystal’s ceremonial tea performance. She is a Kung Fu tea master doing her performances every time she serves tea at individual tables. It does not involve exact martial arts performance. The focus is on serving tea in an extraordinary way,” comments beverage manager Rohan Ogale.
