Tea
Time-out this morning to pause from writing a review paper on Storyspace 1 and attend a lecture and demonstration of tea appreciation at Yixing Xuan Teahouse. I adore fine Chinese teapots, and it's good to know how to use them properly. (They're unglazed and porous; you pour hot water inside and outside and you never was them with soap: you want to build up a layer of tea oils inside)
