For example, is it really necessary to have so many tea utensils, including tea boats, sniffing cups, tea trays, decanters, and tea scoops? Couldn't one just have one teapot and two cups? Indeed, is it absolutely necessary to use the traditional tiny earthenware teapot? Could one not use the horizontally handled Tang style teapot?
小壺泡是否一定要有茶船、聞香杯、茶海、茶盤、茶撥子等「這麼多的茶道具」，是不是可以簡省成「一壺兩杯」，甚至為何一定要用小陶壺，可不可用唐式橫把壺，甚至不用壺，用蓋碗泡等。
