Thank you, Leo, it’s nice to be back. I am now in China again, and I enjoy that.
Tea Soul, I agree with your comments about Chinese culture. By comparing the current mainland culture with those cultures of Chinese overseas, the situation becomes clearer. However, since the 1980s, the mainland has been more and more willing to embrace traditional culture, so maybe there is some hope yet. 🙂
I use this method mostly for a balanced or lighter type of tea. If someone is more interested in the gongfu style of making tea, or richer infusions, then I think there are better methods like what you suggest. A gaiwan can also be helpful for this.
