Bazi tea Tribesmen of GOR p. 38 Tribesmen of GOR, page 139 The service of tea	"Is it ready?" I asked. I looked at the tiny copper kettle on the small stand. A tiny kaiila 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." Although the serves online are very beautiful the symbolism and the rituals of Bazi Tea service as taught in most chat-rooms has little to do with Gor. It is more like the Japanese Tea Ceremony that people created extra steps to and called it Gorean. it is very creative and imaginative, but was not from the mind of John Norman.

Serving Blackwine pages 244-245, Guardsman of Gor Tribesmen of Gor, pages 88 and 89	Go to the servery and get a platter, upon it place one bowl of white sugars, one bowl of yellow sugars, a small pitcher of bosk milk, a spoon to stir, and a small cup. Go to firepit and fill the cup with blackwine from the kettle with the ladle. Return to the Master/Mistress and set the tray between your thighs or upon the table there. Ask how they wish it prepared. Second slave is the reference used to mean black. First slave means they want both sugars and bosk milk. (traditionally although not practiced in most Gor Taverns First slave requires two slaves for the serve, one for the sugar and milk, and another to pour the blackwine.) Offer the drink up to the Master/Mistress. "The expression "second slave," incidentally, serves to indicate that one does not wish creams or sugars with one's black wine, even if only one girl is serving." "From one side a slave girl, barefoot, bangled, in sashed, diaphanous, trousered chalwar, gathered at the ankles, in tight, red silk vest, with bare midriff, fled to Him, with the tall, graceful, silvered pot containing the black wine. She was veiled. She knelt, replenishing the drink. Beneath the veil I saw the metal of her collar. I had not thought to have such fortune. She did not look at me. She returned to her place with the pot of black wine. Ibn Saran lifted another finger. From the side there hastened to him another girl, a fair skinned, red haired girl. She, too, wore veil, vest, chalwar, bangles, collar. She carried a tray, on which were various spoons and sugars. She knelt, placing her tray on the table. With a tiny spoon, its tip no more than a tenth of hort in diameter, she placed four measures of white sugar, and six of yellow, in the cup; with two stirring spoons, one for the white sugar, another for the yellow, she stirred the beverage after each measure. She then held the cup to the side of her cheek, testing its temperature; Ibn Saran glanced at her; she, looking at him, timidly kissed the side of the cup and placed it before him. Then, her head down, she withdrew."
The Bazi Tea Ceremony	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. 1. To perform the ceremony, the slave will do the following: 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. Carry the tray to the Master or Mistress. Kneel before them to prepare the tea. 5. Three pinches of bazi tealeaves are placed in each teacup. Pour hot water into each cup and swirl it around. 6. 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. 7. Serve each cup individually typing the significance of each as you serve.
A few things to consider when serving	Botas on Gor are made from cured and tanned verrskin. They are mostly used for carrying liquids while traveling like a canteen from Earth. Consider, if you will, the taste of something kept for any length of time within the cured skin of an animal, especially an alcoholic beverage. They are not used in taverns, and not normally used in more permanent camps. In taverns drinks are kept in casks and/or bottles, and the same is true for more permanent campsites. For the most part the drinking vessels on Gor are simple; goblets, cups, and bowls of fired and glazed clay, possibly even glass goblets and porcelain or ceramic cups. Bowls might be carved from hardwood and polished well or made of fired clay or ceramic, and Bazi tea glasses are made of simple glass.
