By special request, for my "retarded" friends. Their words, not mine.
Oh, note for safety: if you are inexperienced with a gaiwan or this method, practice with cold water first.

Welcome to Another Tea Blog
Ok, I fought it and fought it, but the blog is officialy dead. It saddens me, as tea has given me much pleasure, as has this blog. Unfortunately for now my interests and hobbies have moved on to other things.
Even without updates, many people still find their way to this blog. It is my hope that it will still be a source of information to some. I have dissabled the comment moderation. If you wish to leave a comment, feel free, but I will most likely not respond.
Hopefully this is temporary. Hopefully tea will once agian be the source of pleasure that it was to me. And in the mean time, hopefully it will continue to be a source of pleasure for you.

Hmmm, this is the "thumb" school :)
I am in the "index finger" school.
Thumb school all the way!
I'm with Marshall on the index finger school. I like to think of it as using a paw or bear claw. Hold lid down with a straight index finger at the second knuckle, grip vessel with thumb and other three (or more) fingers.
I was a proud member of the index finger school...until I dropped my favorite gaiwan. Now I'm a card-carrying member of the league of thumbs. I think it's just a bit more sturdy, and with my fingers under the saucer and my thumb on the cooler knob, a lot less painful.
What's with the little swirl of the hand there towards the end? Flair? Is that FLAIR!?
