[quote=YINDUFFY,244965]Just as in America you will find a $15.00 hamburger or a $6.50 one. The atmosphere and setting plus the need to keep out the riff-raff are responsible for the difference. An expensive tea place will be quiet, peaceful with nice furniture and settings and usually, tall beautiful girls with traditional dresses and pleasant demeanor. Nice hotels may have such places for businessmen to relax. 
Most restaurants serve green tea or "flower tea" in water glasses or the familiar white ceramic cups. Don't be shocked to have tea leaves floating around. 
If an empty bowl is placed on the table at the beginning of the meal, you are expected to use the hot tea to rinse off your small plate, soupbowl and spoon as well as your teacup. Pour the tea used for the rinse in the big bowl. The waitress will take it away after everyone has been seated a while.
Warning: tea will be very hot and when turning the "lazy susan" that the dishes will be placed on be careful that nothing is hanging over the edge to bump into or spill a beverage. This happens more often than most would admit.[/quote]
