Characteristics of baisan tea

1. Tea drinking: Tea drinking is the most important part of the three major tea ceremonies of the Bai people, and a black tea named "Tuocha" is usually chosen as the main tea drinking variety. Tuocha is rich in aroma and unique in taste. Through a special brewing method, the tea soup is rich and mellow.

2. Pour tea: Another important part of Baisan Tea Ceremony is pouring tea. In the process of pouring tea, tea drinkers use a special long-necked pot to pour boiling tea into a small cup from a height, forming a high-hanging tea flow. This action is not only a skill display, but also a ritualized expression, symbolizing the host's hospitality and artistic expression.

3. Catering: During the Baisan Tea Ceremony, snacks and cakes are usually accompanied. The combination of these snacks and cakes aims to contrast the aroma and taste of tea and enhance the level of taste and the pleasure of feeling.
