When requesting your teapot to be filled in a Chinese restaurant, you should remove the lid and
place it on the edge of the teapot. The waiter will then see it and get you some fresh tea. There is an
interesting story of how this custom came about. A teacher brought his favorite pet bird with him to
a tea house one winter’s day. After finishing his pot of tea he put the bird in the covered teapot to
keep it warm. A waiter did not see that a bird was inside the pot and refilled the pot with hot water.
