Dancing Lion Chocolate offers you a moment of calm relaxation during your busy day. Gongfu Cha, the traditional Chinese tea ceremony, dates back to late Ming period of the 1600s. We’ll teach you how it’s done, then sit and sip highest quality tea steeped briefly and repeatedly from a beautiful clay tea set.
Stop in or call; Gongfu tea service is available only when Master Chocolatier Rich is in the shop.
Lu Tong’s Seven Cups of Tea (790~835)
The first cup moistens my lips and throat;
The second cup breaks my loneliness;
The third cup searches my barren entrails but to find therein some five thousand scrolls;
The fourth cup raises a slight perspiration and all life’s inequities pass out through my pores;
The fifth cup purifies my flesh and bones;
The sixth cup calls me to the immortals.
The seventh cup could not be drunk, only the breath of the cool wind raises in my sleeves.
Where is Penglai Island, Yuchuanzi wishes to ride on this sweet breeze and go back.
