A type of Chinese black tea, often spelled gongfu or congou, known for its distinctive flavor and aroma.
From Chinese gongfu (kung fu) tea, literally 'skill' or 'labor tea,' referring to the careful craftsmanship required to make it. English spelling varies.
Gongfu/congou tea requires serious skill to brew properly—using specific water temperatures and steeping times—which is why the name literally means 'skill tea' in Chinese.
