Bai people like drinking tea. Generally, when drinking roasted tea, the tea leaves are browned with a small ceramic teapot and brewed with boiling water. Suddenly, the heat was boiling and the aroma was overflowing. Generally, the roasted tea should be brewed three times, and the tea is tasted while simmering: the first bite feels slightly bitter, the second bite feels sweet and mellow, and the last bite feels sweeter. The more delicious the product, the more fragrant it is and the aftertaste is endless. This is the so-called "first bitter, second sweet, third aftertaste."

In some places, when drinking the second sip of tea, walnut slices, brown sugar, milk vermicelli and so on. Adding pepper or cinnamon to tea has a unique taste.
