The only ritual is no ritual. Too many sounds of the audience giving a
standing ovation with only one hand clapping. I like the British approach more socialization less ceremony. They do have a problem with the time of day and the munchies. I survived a week in the South with only teabags. Somehow my traveling tea set got left behind. I forgot iced tea is offered sweetened or unsweetened. I couldn't even find bubble tea at the truck stops. The Clinton library has a magnificent Samovar from Yeltsin. Some interesting posts while I was absent. Maybe I should go visit more often. I have a parcel from China Post. Wonder what that could be. Jim Alex Chaihorsky wrote: Thanks, Danny - I guess we will see in the future if this will fly... I am cautious....

opps...
i know the way i said it, that it sounded like you were saying boiled or cooked. i just meant that gong-fu was a precise way of making tea usually with small clay pots, and by controlling the time of infusion and temperature of water. also at that time period and after "ming dynasty", the way of making tea was to brew/infuse and then separate the tea leaves this was a big improvement on control of taste, and control of bitterness. tang/song dynasty still didnt separate the leaves so the taste was not as "adjustable". |
