On-screen tea scenes: good/bad
Inviting: the Companion's welcoming ceremony in Firefly.
Comforting: Mrs. Bridges in Upstairs Downstairs. Definitive ordering: Picard and his Earl Grey in Star Trek: TNG. Ethnic caricatu Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Badly timed: Arthur Dent crashing the Heart of Gold's master computer by asking it to synthesize a cuppa in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Ill-fated: Sen-no-Rikyu's tea-orgy with Hideyoshi in Rikyu. Your picks? -DM |

The witch serving more-or-less English-style tea in _Spirited Away_, a film that's soaked in Japanese culture.
