Drinking tea in Taiwan

We visited Wen's mothers god son, who is a mechanic, or I should say, he has a shop where they repair cars and motor cycles, and they were very happy to have us visit them. They invited us to the office and started to brew tea in the traditional way. 
It is very interesting to follow the process. Many turns of water are applied to the very small tea pot. Sometimes the tea is rejected, sometimes you drink it. It was almost like a ritual. The wife kept repeating, again and again, how handsome Wen's new husband was and how lucky Wen was. In the end, it was too much, even for Wen....
