Glass gaiwans with pretty ladies in silk robes twirling in circles
with silver teapots in their hands filling the cups in front of an IOC
crowd. I think they should have pulled a tiny gongfu pot out of their
sleeves with hidden plumbing for another refill so they could
eventually top off the cup before getting too dizzy. There is always
a white porcelain pair when any chinese official talks to a foreign
dignitary. In a real teashop in the country a copper kettle with a
handle and long spout for filling teacups with leaves. I want one of
those. No silly gongfu in the countryside. They drink the leaves off
the top just like I do. I finally feel vindicated.
