Correct posture of drinking tea

The correct posture of drinking tea with a lid is to hold the bowl holder with your left hand, lift the bowl against the lid with your right hand, and pour the bowl to slowly send the tea soup into your mouth.

Pick up the tea lid of the cup with your right hand, scrape off the tea foam in the cup, and then pick up the saucer with your left hand. The tea lid of your right hand is tilted on the cup body, leaving a small mouth. The posture of holding the cup should be that the thumb and middle finger hold both sides of the cup, the index finger gently holds the lid of the cup, and then sends the cup into the mouth.

Covering a bowl of tea is a traditional tea drinking custom of people in Sichuan and other places. It is a tea set with a lid on the top, a tray on the bottom and a bowl in the middle. Also known as Sancai Bowl, covered with a bowl of tea, the charm is endless. It was first invented in Chengdu and has its own characteristics. The so-called Gaiwancha includes three parts: tea cover, tea bowl and tea boat, so it is called Gaiwancha or Sanbao Tea. A tea boat, also known as a tea boat, is a saucer that carries a tea bowl.

Precautions for drinking Gaiwancha:

When tasting a tea bowl with a lid, hold it up with a saucer and scrape the lid at the mouth of the bowl several times to make the tea turn up and down. It's enough to scrape lightly and scrape heavily. This is the advantage of covering bowls over other tea sets. When you are a guest in someone's house, the host will give you a bowl of tea. Guests should drink slowly. If you want to drink another bowl after drinking, don't finish it. Leave some water at the bottom of the bowl, and the host will know that he will add more tea.

If you are in a teahouse, put the tea cover on the table, which means that someone will come up to pour the tea after drinking it. If you leave the coffee table temporarily, put the cover bowl on the bamboo stool, and the waiter will take care of your tea bowl including snacks. If the teacup hasn't been brought to your mouth, you can't bow your head. When drinking the tea soup in the teacup, everyone should inhale the tea soup slowly and try not to make a sound.
