BAZI TEA:
The tea from Bazi is very much like the orange pekoe of Urth. Traditionally it was served exclusively in higher class establishments. The service of Bazi tea is a ceremonial ritual, and rarely changed.
It is now a popular drink in the Tahari and several other select areas, it is drunk in three tiny cups, heavily sugared. Brewed fresh from bazi tea leaves, we can assume the tea itself to be quite strong. (do not try this unless you know the steps totally)
Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and heavily sugared. It gives them strength then, in virture of the sugar, and cools them, by making them sweat as well as stimulating them. It is drunk three small cups at a time, carefully measured.
Tribesmen of Gor, page 38 and 140; Beasts of Gor pg 206
Here is a traditional serving ceremony
step #1 - you go to the fireplace to check and see that the water is boiling. If there is not enough water, refill the kettle.
step #2 - go to the sideboard and get the traditional teapot with three cups. The cups are small and delicate. The pot holds about 6 cups and is also delicate porcelain.
step #3 - take the pot to the kettle and fill it. Allow the water to warm the pot and then dump it back into the kettle. Refill with boiling water.
step #4 - take the pot to the sideboard (counter) and put in two or three pinches of leaves from the black lacquer chest inlaid with the Taverns crest (the chest contains native Gorean tea from Bazi).
step #5 - place a goodly portion of red sugar in one cup, yellow sugar in a second cup, and mixed red and yellow in the third cup.
step #6 - take the tea and the cups to the client.
For now just read over this.. If you feel you are ready to attempt this serve you may do so to a Mistress and remember when serving a Mistress it is done without fire.
