Without a shadow of a doubt.
Good Chinese black tea is a treat. Period.

(I was there in '67, just in time for the Tet Offensive.) Then marriage, family, job... I didn't get myself back to school until I was 34. But by that time I had grown up enough to love it. Love it enough so that I graduated with two Bachelor's degrees, then went on for two Master's degrees, and a few years after that, a Doctorate.

Maybe
Japan Clay Tea Pot
or
Japanese Cast Iron Kettle
could help you to convey the importance?

Just finished a cup of Taylors of Harrogate's Tea Room Blend, on to Ahmad's Hampton Breakfast.
So far, the latter is the best tea in the office besides Assam Mangalam as the first cuppa.
