excuter, Rich and nicolas, excuter, your sentence was almost right! The way you wrote it would be in the context of asking for more tea in a restaurant. Here are the most common ways to ask for another cup (or pot) of tea: 请再来一杯（壶）茶。Qǐng zàilái yī bēi（hú）chá. 请再来一些茶。Qǐng zàilái yīxiē chá. And... all of Rich's example sentences are correct. Good job Rich!

Hi Bazza, 你太客气了 Nǐ tài kèqi le doesn't really mean generous, but rather, very polite and thus generous, kind could be included in that. But the literal translation is "You are too polite".

hi shanyisheng, 我的听力不好。(Wǒ de tīnglì bù hǎo.) refers to your ability to understand, as in, listening comprehension. For hearing impairment, you would more likely say: 耳朵听不清。(Ěrduo tīngbuqīng.)
