"Bazi Tea"

   Bazi Tea: A beverage of leaves steeped in hot water. The tea from Bazi is very much like the orange pekoe of Earth. It is served exclusively in higher class establishments. The service of Bazi tea is a ceremonial ritual, and rarely changed.

First method:

      1. You go to the hearthfire to check and see that the water is boiling. If there is not enough water, refill the kettle.

      2. You go to the storage shelves 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.

      3. You 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.

      4. You take the pot to the storage shelves and put in two or three pinches of leaves.

      5. You place a large portion of white sugar in one cup, yellow sugar in a second cup, and mixed white and yellow in the third cup.

      6. You take the tea and the cups to the client. Pour a cup of the tea so that the client can see the contents, sniff and look at the color to be certain it is fully brewed. Finally, pour the second and third cups and serve each of them to the client, who will drink them in rapid succession.

  Second Way:

      1. Three cups are placed upon a tray, with these is placed a bowl of white and yellow sugars. In an tea pot is placed hot water, this is also added to the tray, with a smaller canister containing the bazi leaves. All of this is taken to the Master/Mistress.

      Now, the tea may be either brewed in an teapot or leaves placed directly into the cups and water poured over them.

      2. Into the first cup of tea is placed yellow sugars, into the second cup is placed white sugars and into the third cup is placed both white and yellow sugars.

      3. Each cup is presented to the Master/Mistress individually, and each has a specific meaning: these are past, present, future. When presenting each cup, a kajira or kajirus should mention each of these, with words appropriate, for example:

      Past; May this tea remove all that is the past bringing about a healing, helping to strengthen the Master/Mistress for the months and years ahead. or words similar to those,you should always use your own words, show creativity. The same should be said with the second and third cups but signifying present and future.

      4. Each cup is taken in turn. Serving bazi tea is a long slow process, but, when the Master/Mistress takes it, it is generally drunk down quickly more of a ceremony rather than just serving a beverage.

      When you prepare the tray you should always say: "a bowl mixed with white and yellow sugars"

      1ST cup --symbolizing the past that has been
      2nd cup-- symbolizing the present and what is
      3rd cup -- symbolizing the future and that which will be

    ivy's personal preference is the second method. ivy feels that it creates a wonderful atmosphere, and it pleases the Free Person.
