I think the British word 'cuppa' means 'gong fu' in Chinese. British
yin elegance is Chinese yang simplicity. I prefer the empowering
British style versus limiting Chinese style. Each pot I make is a
gong fu creation of experience and psyche. My biggest problem with
gong fu service it gets in the way of chow.
