A dented kettle?

The usual way to serve hot green tea

 If you have never tried eating at Pasta Zanmai, you should. It's on of the few places where the food has remain consistently tasty and yummy. And more importantly, the portions have also remained the same. We headed there for dinner yesterday evening. Having never been there during Saturday night before, we found the place 98% full.

How my hot green tea was served yesterday evening:)

I'm guessing they ran out of their usual utensils and had to fall back on an OLD dented kettle to serve me my hot green tea:) Hahaha
