I buy the expensive stuff, or well, just not the stuff that's actually just dust. still cheaper than drinking sugar water. Plus you can pretend to be better than everybody else while still paying homage to the working class by adopting their tradition of double steepingAnonymous B joined in and replied with this 4 months ago, 34 minutes later[^] [v] #1,388,428
Absolutely. There is room for both though, Chinese tea is the real deal and very affordable.

Have any of you seen those videos of how Chinese people drink tea? Such as tossing out the first steep and such? Its pretty interesting

@previous (A)It seems as though the first steep is supposed to "open up" the tea leaves to give maximum flavor or something
They also have this little tea pets where you pour that first steep onto them. They're usually little clay animals

Huh makes sense come to think about it, whatever that is that coats the cup... You probably get less of it with more surface area that the animal gives, and the second steep doesn't have the same strong taste but I do feel like I taste more things although just in subtle ways

I bet it started with a guy honoring what the clay figure represented though, he probably just explained it as for good luck to onlookers but deep down he was thinking "you deserve some tea too buddy"
