Tea "sink" for yixing brewing

Gotta love Led Zeppelin! "Tea For One" is real bluesy

I wish I'm from Uzbekistan, even the sound emitting from the mouth has a feel of exoticism to it! :") Nah, I'm from plainer parts of the world, down in South East Asia to be precise...

You are absolutely right, san francisco probably has only one Imperial Palace that offers authentic gongfu cha style, on the other hand, there are possibly pockets of teashops all over America that offer lessons in gongfu cha that are more art than substance. I happened to wander into one such shop in a subsurb mall in Vancouver, the shopowner was entertaining some customers and a full regalia of tea paraphernalia was used, which she claimed one must have in order to enjoy tea 'properly'.

I would like to see tea drunk on its own merits, without all the unnecessary steps, as simple as possible (er, but not teabags...), so that one can focus on tea (erh, C Sinensis, that is...), and not be distract by the teaware.

Oh dear, I think I just called myself a fundamentalist...

Well, tea is possibly the world's most benign religion, and besides, strictly speaking, fundamentalists aren't really a problem in the world today: it's the *supremacists* who cause all the trouble.

Eah, exotic is the right word, private prisons and all

Sasha, my lad, what is with you? Can't we talk music, language, and art? What's better than Uzbekistan? Come on.

Seriously, these are indeed hard times in which we live.

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.
