Morning Gong Fu Cha – Tea Ceremony

Morning Gong Fu Cha Tea Ceremony

Step into the day with presence and tranquility through the art of Gong Fu Cha, a traditional Chinese tea ceremony that cultivates mindfulness and connection. Morning at IEC 2025, Kata Zsák invites you to a serene and intentional tea experience, where the simple act of preparing and drinking tea becomes a meditative practice.

Gong Fu Cha, meaning “skillful tea,” is more than just a way of making tea—it is a ritual of deep presence, sensory awareness, and slowing down in an often fast-paced world. Using carefully selected teas and traditional brewing techniques, this ceremony allows you to immerse yourself in the subtle flavors, aromas, and textures of tea while grounding yourself in the moment.

During this session, we will share tea in silence, focusing on the rhythm of the preparation and the unfolding of the tea’s essence. The practice encourages a state of flow, inviting clarity, relaxation, and a deeper connection to yourself and those around you. Whether you are new to tea ceremonies or have experience with meditative practices, this morning ritual offers a gentle, grounding transition into the day’s conference events.

Join me in this sacred pause—an opportunity to begin your morning with mindfulness, warmth, and the quiet wisdom of tea.
