Kung fu tea, as its name implies, takes time and pays attention to skills. It has a long history and is said to have evolved from the "small cup of tea" in Fujian. In the Song Dynasty, the wind of "fighting tea" prevailed in the upper class of China, and whoever bought good tea would treat him. There is good tea among the guests, which may be brought to the opponent or lead to infighting. This trend has gradually evolved into tea tasting and evaluation by tea farmers and tea merchants. Because it is uncomfortable to drink too much tea, the big cup is changed into a small cup, which is the embryonic form of congou. Chaoshan is a land of plenty, people like to drink strong tea, and "small cup of tea" was also introduced into Chaoshan by tea merchants. Over time, more and more attention has been paid to tea sets, tea leaves and brewing techniques, forming a unique "Chaoshan congou".

Kungfu tea originated in the Song Dynasty, and it is most popular in Chaozhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province (now Chaoshan area) and Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Fujian Province. It is the inheritance and in-depth development of tea tasting art since Tang and Song Dynasties. Su Zhe has a poem saying: "Fujian's tea is the best in the world, and I don't know how to devote myself to tea."

Tasting kungfu tea is one of the famous customs in Chaoshan area. In Chaoshan area, every household has a Kung Fu tea set and drinks several rounds every day. Even Chaoshan people who live in other places or emigrate overseas still retain the custom of tasting Kung Fu tea. It can be said that where there are Chaoshan people, there is the shadow of Kung Fu tea.

In Chaoshan dialect, the word "Kung Fu" means to pay attention to the way of doing things. This refers to the way to taste tea when making tea. Chaoshan congou tea has a set of tea classics that pay attention to tea set, tea, water, brewing method and taste. "Kung Fu" is also called "Kung Fu", and there are generally four solutions: engineering and labor; Literacy; Degree of attainments and achievements; Free time. Kung fu and the method of making tea are called "Kung Fu Tea" or "Kung Fu Tea". Therefore, the so-called kungfu tea is not a kind of tea, nor is it the name of tea. Chaoshan people can't live without tea for a day, so the first thing for hipsters is to make tea. Marriage, funeral and celebration are all inseparable from tea. For example, on the wedding day in the past, there was a ceremony in which the bride knelt down to her elders and held tea. When relatives return from overseas, the daughter-in-law and the next generation at home will also get a "kneeling tea" gift when they meet for the first time. As for the funeral, if the elders of her parents arrive, the daughter-in-law of the younger generation will kowtow with sweet tea, and then do it again. Sacrifice to god, but also "three cups of tea" and so on.

Chaoshan congou tea has become an important part of the current Chaoshan culture research. Drinking congou is a kind of communication etiquette in people's daily life, which has produced many customs and habits. These customs also reflect the psychology of Chaoshan people.
