This was a fun course and one that I had been looking forward in taking. As I’m a hands on person, I decided to make tea in the many different ways as described in the text. So far I’ve succeeded with Masala Chai, Gaiwan, Yixing (including seasoning the teapot), East Frisian, Mongolian, and Milk Tea. Still on the list is a Russian tea with 2 teapots (no samovar) and tea they drink in Tibet, which I will have to alter the recipe as we don’t have access to yak butter.

  That’s so cool! I saw some videos on YouTube on how to simulate Tibetan yak butter tea.
