What Happens At The Table
- WarmingThe host warms the gaiwan, the pitcher and every cup with boiled water.
- AwakeningA first quick rinse wakes the leaf; its scent is passed round the table.
- SteepingShort steeps, each a little longer, poured into the pitcher, then into your cup.
- ComparingThe second and third teas follow; you taste how each changes from steep to steep.
