It was a treat to have long conversations while the host of the house was preparing the three teas. I was also amused to learn that on special occasions (weddings, etc.) there was a fourth cup of tea, and that on those occasions there might even be a fifth one. That one being the host's polite way of telling the guests that it was time to leave. 3: welcome! / 4: what a special day! / 5: I’m tired!
