The Bazi Tea ceremony is a very intricate and lovely ceremony.
The drinking of the tea in accordance with the ceremony signifies three stages of life.


The first cup signifies the bitter first fruits of life.

The second cup signifies the contentment of adulthood.

The third signifies the enlightenment that comes with experience and old age.

The steps involved are quite intricate for the slave.
While they are listed below, keep in mind that they are just bare bones steps.
As with all serves, the Bazi Tea Ceremony is a reflection of the slave. Take the steps and make them your own.


To perform the ceremony, the slave will do the following:

1. Go to the serving area and place a teapot, three tiny cups and the jar of bazi tealeaves on a tray.
Add to the tray small bowls of (red sugar)* and yellow sugar, and a spoon.

2. Go to the firepit and fill the teapot with hot water. Swirl the water around and dump it out, then re-fill it with fresh hot water.

3. Carry the tray to the Master or Mistress. Kneel before them to prepare the tea.

5. Add one spoon of yellow sugar to the first cup, one spoon of (red)*to the second and one spoon of each to the third cup.
