    Everyone knows the true test of a person’s character is the consistency of their grinder, not the brewer. (please don’t look on my kitchen countertop- it’s full of almost all of these and a single hand grinder. My forearm is crying for help)

      Protip: Pick up a cheap 20v battery operated hand drill and attach it to the handle.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoxhaism

      Hoxhaism (/ˈhɒdʒə.ɪzəm/ HOJ-ə-iz-əm) is a variant of anti-revisionist Marxism–Leninism that developed in the late 1970s due to a split in the anti-revisionist movement, appearing after the ideological dispute between the Chinese Communist Party and the Party of Labour of Albania in 1978.

      Yeah, I’m just going with “made up”. The alternative is navigating three levels deep of leftist infighting.

            I wouldn’t personally call “Gong Fu Cha” a ceremony, more like a “discipline” since that’s sort of the idea behind “Gong Fu” its the idea of get better at something doing it over and over again, so best translation for would be a discipline. Unless you meant Japanese tea ceremony, but that’s not really for tasting the tea its more like the tea is used for symbolism sake like say how wine is used in mass.

            I also don’t think it has that many steps? Preheat the vessels using water at the temperature you’ll be using for the tea, pour that water out, put tea leaves rinse the leaves with the water pour that out, steep the tea after say 10s pour that water out into a secondary vessel (probably a gong dao bei) pour that tea liquid into your small tasting cup and slurp to taste. Pour some more until you need start a new steeping, do what you did previously just slightly longer steeping time.

              Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

              Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…
