The Sun: cheap labor for tea. The best tea book is about perfume. Tovolo TeaGo Tea Press Review. February 8, 2010. I have lots to share about the Specialty Tea Institute class I took over a week ago, but I had to sneak this in while my disappointment was still fresh. Is that a TeaGo in your pocket or- never mind. From left: cup, barrel, plunger with lid. Translation. I mean a poor Italian. Would do better with a smaller footprint and at a fraction of the price. The same goes for disposable filters. Feed ...

中国茶经: 六安瓜片 Lù’ān Guāpiàn. October 7, 2013. Gàiwǎn, literally “lidded bowl,” is the term most familiar to Western tea aficionados referring to the brewing/drinking apparatus shown at left. According to this article. A gàibēi (“lidded cup”) is the same object, but the name reflects its use primarily as a drinking vessel rather than a brewing vessel. It has also been asserted. This is a visual pun in Chinese. Again, the original Chinese is on the left; my translation is on the right. 冲泡茶叶, 除了好茶 好水外, 还要有好的器具。
