Psychanaut,Well, you Review by Apple
Score Psychanaut,Well, you could take polite small sips if it's a fneird who offers the tea. If it's in a restaurant, I recommend you bring your own tea and ask for boiling water.Liz,The cups are my qinghua shan-shui (mountain-water) cups (available in my selection) and the saucers are from Japan.Thanks!
