Gongfu is the only way to do oolongs. That's if you want to drink a
decent cup of tea. If you don't mind wasting good tea, and having a
crappy cup, then gongfu is optional. Just for fun, and to compare, I
tried the same tea made 3 ways: gongfu, in large gaiwan, in large
teapot. Gongfu by far made the best infusions. Large gaiwan didn't
even come close.

Gongfu is not hard if you have the set-up in 1 dedicated place.
Except, the clean-up afterwards takes a long time. Lots of small cups
to wash.

But yeah, when you have the set-up for gongfu, it does become the much
quicker and easier method. And also best-tasting method. And most-
enjoyable method.
