@TWutangT Hindus call it swastika. Although Hitler made this sign notorious.

@schdave Because it isn't tea yet. He pours the hot water first to open up the tea leaves, then gets rid of the water to allow the leaves to open, and then finally lets the tea steep in the pot. The first bit of "tea" is always thrown away.

@LaddieGalicia the reasons to pour hot water on the clay pot is to keep it warm when brew… outer temperature can affect the temperature of the tea… and it also use to be a timing guide… when your pot is dry… it means it is ready… when the water is not hot enough it take longer time to brew as well as drying the pot… this can ensure a constant taste of the tea….

@RickBoender1 Those aren't swastika signs, those are buddha peace signs. Hitler used them for his own evil purposes.

Question: Why those Swastika signs at the right?

[LaddieGalicia]

Question. Why does he pour hot water over the clay tea pot?

Kung fu is in all things. It doesn't just mean martial arts.
