Bazi Tea

'In turn, from the oases, the nomads receive, most importantly, Sa-Tarna grain and the Bazi Tea." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 37 ~才 -In the same paragraph as above- "Tea is extremely important to the nomads. It is served hot and heavily sugared. It gives them strength then, in virtue 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." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 38 ~才 "I had had verr meat, cut in chunks and threaded on a metal rod, with slices of peppers and larma, and roasted; vulo stew with raisins, nuts, onions and honey; a Kort with melted cheese and nutmeg; hot Bazi tea, sugared, and, later, Turian wine." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, pages 47 - 48 " 'Make me tea,' I said. Lifting her skirt the girl went to the tent, to make tea. ... 'I feared, when first I saw you,' said the girl, measuring the tea, from a tiny tin box, ... Her hand shook, slightly, on the metal box of tea. ... 'Is is ready?' I asked. I looked at the tiny copper kettle on the small stand. A tiny kailla-dung fire burned under it. A small, heavy, curved glass was nearby, on a flat box, which would hold some two ounces of the tea. Bazi tea is drunk in tiny glasses, usually three at a time, carefully measured. She did not make herself tea, of course. ... She lifted the kettle from the fire and, carefully, poured me a tiny glass of tea. I took the glass." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, pages 139 - 140 ~才 "Hot Bazi Tea I wanted. This is an important trade item in the north. I now knew why. The southern sugars are also popular. I had originally supposed this was because of their sweetness, there being few sweet items, save some berries, in the north. I know began to suspect that the calories of the sugars also played their role in their popularity." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 206 ~才 " 'Well,' I said, 'let us return to the tent. The tabuk are gone and I am soaked and freezing. I will well relish a hot cup of Bazi tea.' 'Ah, my friend,' said Imnak, sadly, 'I am sorry there is no Bazi tea.' 'Recently,' I said, 'there was a great deal of it.' 'True,' said Imnak, 'but now there is not.' 'You used the tea to buy Poalu?' I asked. Imnak looked at me horrified. 'I made a gift to Kadluk,' he said." Book 12, Beasts of Gor, page 209
