In China, tea is often infused directly in the glass. As you drink your “cha”, your host tops it up with hot water. To stop the leaves going in your mouth, you bring your teeth together, which doesn’t prevent you from smiling at the same time.

I could never quite master keeping the leaves out of my mouth! 🙂
I couldn’t master keeping leaves out of my mouth either….so I eat them!
It’s a whole new thing.
I frequently just put my leaves straight into my cup – especially Chinese tea.
