Brewing a tiny amount of tea
So what do you do if you only have milligrams of a tea? You need to
drink *authentic* Dahongpao or 100-year-old Pu'er but you can only afford a truly tiny amount of leaf? Not a problem: http://yeinjee.com/asianpop/world-smallest-teapot/ /Lew --- Lew Perin / http://www.panix.com/~perin/babelcarp.html

[Lew]
So what do you do if you only have milligrams of a tea? You need to drink *authentic* Dahongpao or 100-year-old Pu'er but you can only afford a truly tiny amount of leaf? Not a problem: http://yeinjee.com/asianpop/world-smallest-teapot/ [Jazzy] this is so kewwwttt! Hahaha .. great one. Yes, that picture sure has been making the rounds; but, the question you ask is a very serious one since someone *might* be in posession of, for example, as you say, 3 or 4 grams of a 100 year old puerh, and be struggling with the issue you raise. This is, of course, where gaiwans of only a fraction over an ounce volume come in handy, but then there's the issue of proper heat: It's particularly hard to keep the temperature sufficiently high in such a small gaiwan. Any thoughts on this in the specifics and in general? By the way, parenthetically, although I have no priceless "authentic" dahongpao on hand, I do have some little bits of damn tasty ones, so again let's be serious folks. I have spoken. Michael
