Ale--Served

Ale is closer to a honey lager than to an earthen ale or beer. It is a
deep golden color and traditionally served in a tankard. It is made from
grains and hops that were brought to Gor during the acquisition voyages.

Bazi
tea-- Served in 3 small glass cups on a tray
Bazi tea
is a popular drink in the Tahari and several other select areas, it is
drunk in three tiny cups, heavily sugared. Brewed fresh from bazi
tea leaves, we can assume the tea itself to be quite strong. There is no
mention in the scrolls as to the type of tea. It has been referred to by
many as a herbal tea, some say it is similar to an orange pekoe.
~~*Bazi
tea is made in a small copper pot, with 2 ounces of carefully measured
tea. The tea is brewed then poured into 3 small glass cups that are poured
at Master's/Mistress's feet. Neither sugars nor creams are added.In the
better taverns, it is served on a silver tray.Most taverns use a red and
black lacquer tray. Prepared/poured at Master's/Mistress's feet.
The three
glass cups represent the 3 moons of Gor and/or the 3 ages of man. Do
not attempt to serve Bazi tea unless your trainer has instructed you in
the tea ceremony.

Blackwine--
Served
in little silver cups placed on a saucer
On IRC
Gor, if you are asked for;
~~*"blackwine,
first slave" this means with creams and sugars.
~~*"blackwine,
second slave" this
means black, no creams, or sugars. ~~*"Tanned
blackwine" means
creams only.
Blackwine
is another very expensive drink made from beans grown in Thentis. Blackwine
is Gor's answer to the caffeine crunch, but unlike earth coffee, blackwine
is extremely potent and strong.
~~*To serve:
you will find a small silver pot resting on a tiny brazier, pour the blackwine
into little silver cups, and place the cup on a tiny saucer. Add white/yellow
sugars, verr/bosk creams, stir with tiny spoons and serve. (Think of a
demitasse cup, to get an idea of the cup size.) Gorean blackwine may be
compared to a thick, strong expresso coffee, but more potent. Prepared/poured
at Master's/Mistress's feet.Traditionally,
you would add 4 tiny spoonfuls of white sugar and 6 tiny spoonfuls of yellow
sugar. You need not be so specific during a serve however.
The beans
were originally brought back to Gor on the early acquisition voyages.With
the potency and strength of the Gorean blackwine it will be the hearty
Master/Mistress who can withstand it without creams or sugar. Truly a warrior's
drink.
