What are the etiquette and taboos for drinking tea?

Tea culture is a tradition in China, and its history can be traced back to thousands of years ago. It has rich and profound cultural connotations and embodies the unique thoughts and habits of China people. Learn the correct way to make tea when drinking tea.

Seven steps to make tea correctly:

First, hot pot

Before making tea, you need to boil the pot with boiling water. First, it can remove the odor in the teapot. Second, scalding the pot helps the tea to volatilize.

Second, buy tea.

Also known as "throwing tea". Put a certain amount of weighed dry tea leaves into a teacup or teapot for brewing. When you cover the cup, you can make tea directly with Chaze, and the amount of tea you put depends on the kind of tea you brew and your personal taste.

Third, high influence.

To brew tea leaves, it is necessary to lift the pot very high, and water is injected into the teapot from a height, so that the tea leaves roll and disperse in the pot, making the tea taste more full, commonly known as "high rush". Generally, you need to pour out (wash tea) when you rinse it.

Fourth, low foam.

The brewed tea can be poured into a small teacup. The distance between the spout of the teapot and the small cup should be as low as possible to avoid too much fragrance in the tea, commonly known as "low foam". Generally, the first tea soup and the second tea soup are mixed with a small teapot, and the effect is better; Three teas mixed with four teas.

Fifth, tea.

Pour the tea in the small cup into the guest's cup respectively, and it is generally appropriate to fill the cup with seven points of tea.

Sixth, serve tea.

Putting the teacup together with the cup holder in front of the guests is serving tea, also called offering tea.

Seven, smell the fragrance and taste tea

Before tasting tea, you can observe the color and smell the fragrance of tea before tasting tea. Wine tasting has a etiquette and the word "taste". A cup of tea should be divided into three mouthfuls. Before drinking tea, you should look at the tea maker for a second or two, smile and express your gratitude.

Five taboos in tea ceremony:

First, taboo tea set is not clean.

Please have a spare cup of tea when the guests visit. Be sure to clean the tea set before making tea, because it is not clean. Then rinse the tea set with boiling water. This is the most basic tea ceremony etiquette.

Second, taboo tea concentration is not appropriate.

The amount of tea should be appropriate, neither too much nor too little. There are many Chata, and the tea taste is too strong; There is too little tea, and the brewed tea has no taste. Before making tea, you may wish to ask the guests about their tea drinking habits, and then brew according to their tea drinking tastes and dark habits.

Third, taboo Chata full.

Pour tea for guests, whether it is a large cup or a small cup, avoid pouring too much tea. The amount of tea should be seven points full, leaving three points for the guests, which is the traditional etiquette of tea ceremony.

Fourth, no drinking tea.

The traditional custom in China is that as long as you have sound hands, you must serve tea with both hands. For a teacup with a cup ear, the most polite way is to hold the cup ear with one hand and the bottom of the cup with the other hand to pour tea for the guests.

Fifth, it is forbidden to drink tea in time.

In the process of entertaining guests, always pay attention to the guests' teacups. When we need to add tea, we must be duty-bound to add tea in time. When adding tea, be sure to add tea to the guests first, and then add it to yourself. In tea ceremony etiquette, not adding tea in time is a sign of disrespect to guests.
