Which countries are popular in afternoon tea culture, and there is no one that we can't do?

1, Britain, my first impression is not big China, because I saw a BBC documentary on wild adventure before. Explorers can bring nothing, but they can't bring some tea and eat anything, but just try to drink the first cup of tea. So I was impressed.

English afternoon tea: a formal traditional custom

As the "afternoon tea" is carried forward and spread all over the world in Britain, its afternoon tea is a long and formal custom and a popular social way. Afternoon tea in Britain is usually held from 2 pm to 5 pm. Choose a beautiful garden, hotel, tea room or quiet manor and have afternoon tea, which is both leisurely and enjoyable.

As a formal activity, afternoon tea in Britain pays attention to details: don't hold a teacup with your thumb up; When drinking tea, don't look at the mouth of the cup, look inside; Don't put the teaspoon in the teacup, put it in the saucer behind the teacup.

In my impression, Japan is very particular about tea, and it should be perfect from beginning to end, and there is no room for neglect.

Japanese tea ceremony: meticulous

Afternoon tea in Japan is more of a spirit called "tea ceremony", which accurately reflects the simplicity and harmony of the Japanese. Modesty and Zen values. Between host and guest, strictly abide by the rules. When serving tea, the actions should be rigorous and orderly, elegant and meticulous in details.

As the embodiment of spirit and Tao, Japanese tea ceremony pays attention to etiquette: before the end of the tea-making ceremony, don't forget to appreciate the master's tea set and ask each tea set softly to show courtesy and respect; Don't talk or talk loudly in the teahouse, you will be rejected; Don't stretch your legs when sitting, bend your knees to 180 degrees, and press your calves on your thighs.

3. Russian tea break: the most casual tea drinking custom.

Compared with English afternoon tea, Russian afternoon tea is more an informal social activity with friends and family. Colleagues get together and discuss things over tea. It has the feeling of relaxing or taking a break at work, so it is called a tea break.

Tea break can be said to be the most casual tea drinking custom, without any ceremony, but this does not mean that there is no need to pay attention and pay attention: when entering the host's house, don't shake hands with the host at the door; When drinking tea, don't look into other people's plates and live discs; And don't put your hands or elbows on the table.

4. Afternoon tea in China

In many western countries, even some Asian countries, afternoon tea culture has gradually become popular. With the development of economic and cultural globalization, more and more people in China began to contact with western culture and try their way of life. Afternoon tea has gradually become a fashion and is interpreted as a symbol of noble cultural lifestyle. Popular among China people in recent years-"There is an elegance called afternoon tea"; "Afternoon tea, a ceremony of loving life"; "Find your own poetic time"; "Meet the most beautiful self"-countless soul chicken soup and marketing soft articles introduced Amway afternoon tea culture to Chinese people. The first-tier cities in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are also new first-tier and second-tier cities such as Chengdu, Changsha and Xiamen, and there are more and more places to have afternoon tea.

Due to regional and cultural differences, this has also led to "afternoon tea", which is very popular all over the world, but has different stresses in each country. However, the purpose of afternoon tea is the same, which is to enjoy a happy afternoon. Interested tea lovers may wish to try it at home.
