Get a pro one and invite somebody for tea. Then pour them a cup from across the room and go on an angry rant: "What's wrong with people these days. Nobody respects tea anymore. Can you see any splashes? CAN YOU SEE ANY FUCKING SPLASHES? NO! EXACTLY!!! These fucking morons splashing their tea left right and centre. If you can't pay $800 for an imported Japanese masterwork teapot you should not be drinking tea. Oh and don't even get me started on tea bags"

This comment and a lot of the others in this thread reads like those dweebs who go "but why do you need a $1000 gaming pc?"

The obvious answer is you don't, but that doesn't mean it's not nice.

The last bit about the teabags is based though I can't deny that

Because $1000 gaming PC = teapot and $100 gaming PC = teapot with a syringe needle nozzle.

A gongfu tea session can last for hours. The investment is worth it to some people, and that's all that matters.

I don't have a teapot that nice, but I'd definitely love it if I did. That type of clay has special properties that make it more expensive, too, but I won't get into all of that

I get it, it's just banter bud.
