Gong Fu Cha
The Art of the Pour.
We abandon the rushed, bitter mug for an older, more exacting tradition. Using tiny clay vessels and precise, practiced pours, we unlock a single leaf’s hidden layers over multiple short steeps. The result is a dynamic tasting journey, shifting in your cup from bright florals to deep, roasted richness minute by minute.
The residency
Sanctuary in the City.
We transform corners of Mumbai's most compelling venues into temporary, intimate tea houses. Seated at our merchant’s table, you will be guided through a multi-sensory exploration of hand-harvested leaves. You will handle bespoke, artisan ceramics sourced exclusively from master kilns in Singapore, discovering tasting notes of wild honey, toasted orchid, and crisp mountain mist. To ensure personal attention and perfect pours, every seating is strictly capped at six guests.

The merchant’s ledger
Sourced at the Summit.
True quality cannot be bought from catalogs. We operate as traditional tea merchants, traveling to remote highland estates to secure harvests so small they never reach commercial markets. Every leaf we pour and every piece of clay we use has been vetted, tasted, and imported by us directly. We do not compromise on the tools, the water, or the leaf.
Details
Attending a Tasting.
Absolutely not. Our merchants will guide you through the history, the mechanics, and the tasting notes of the Gong Fu Cha ritual. You only need to bring an open palate.
Expect to be with us for 60 to 90 minutes. We do not rush the leaves, and we do not rush our guests.
