I went to a tea house in Shanghai and spent some time with the owner Jasmine. She grew up in Southern China where she learned tea ceremony from her grandparents. Never went to any schools, she self taught herself everything in tea and became very good at it. Over 15 years, she has taught tea ceremony in Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and China.
When we were enjoy cups after cups, Jasmine suddenly asked me, wait, you did not slurp??!!!
