Welcome.

The Asian answer to this problem is simple and
eminently effective; simply pour back and forth
between two side-by-side cups when you decant - a second
or two in one, then without lifting up the pot,
slide it over to the second cup. Continue until
pot is empty. In this way, you get similar tea
in both cups.............................................. p*
