Yup, I think that's why it has such an honored place in the Chinese tea

ceremony. Also, in China in the villages they put a few tea leaves in a

pot, brew that, then keep adding water to the pot over the course of the

day, so mostly they're drinking very weak tea.

...as opposed to the way we in the west brew tea and coffee strongly and

have a " more is better " mindset about everything :-)
