Vincent Fung and his wife Rebecca Cheung create a dynamic duo sharing their passion and knowledge about tea to the local community. Their mission is to educate the public about the art of brewing tea, cultivating a tea culture in the city, parallel to the prominent wine culture found in California.

Taste specializes in “gong fu cha” which is literally translated as “making tea with effort.” Gong Fu tea service dates back many centuries ago to the Fujian and Guangdong Province of China. The purpose of this tea service is to maximize tea tasting and tea selection.

At Taste, you can choose from a personal tea set or a larger set that serves three or more. Each tea set comes with a Gaiwan (brewing vessel), tea cups, wooden utensils, and a strainer which is served on a bamboo boat. In a traditional setting, the tea is poured, strained, and served in a clockwise motion to guests.

Gong Fu tea service allows the individual to customize their own experience starting with their tea selection to their method of brewing. This meticulous method of brewing tea enables the tea drinker to appreciate not only the aroma and taste, but the effort to make the tea which provides a sense of serenity.
