Etiquette of tea tasters

When the host pours tea, he should respond politely as a guest. But every time I pour tea, I say thank you. It's a bit wordy and I feel that the host and guest are unfamiliar, so as a guest, I should know how to knock my hands. ?

If the younger generation pours tea for themselves, click the table with your index finger to express your gratitude; If the tea is poured by a colleague, tap the table with your forefinger and middle finger together to express your gratitude; If an elder pours tea for himself, he needs to put his five fingers together into a fist and knock on the table three times with his fist, which shows deep disrespect. This is also the highest high-five ceremony.
