Tea on CCTV

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.
