What are the six gentlemen in the tea ceremony? It is familiar to people who love tea. It comprises a tea cone, a teaspoon, a tea needle, a tea leak, a tea clip and a Chaze. How to use these six indispensable things in tea culture? Let's teach six gentlemen how to use the tea ceremony.

Tool materials: tea cone, teaspoon, tea needle, tea leak, tea clip, Chaze.

Tea cone

Similar to the "pen container" in our daily life. In fact, it is a kind of vessel for holding other tea art supplies, which is called "tea ceremony tube", and some people call it "tea ceremony bottle" or "storage tube". It has a variety of shapes, including round and triangular, and the upper one is hexagonal.

Tea clip

Anyone who doesn't know about tea but has had tea with others in a teahouse will be impressed. When the tea maker needs to wash the cup, he usually does not hold the cup with his hand, but washes it with tweezers and the like. This tool is called a "tea clip". It can prevent burns and is hygienic. Of course, the tea clip actually has another function, that is, like a teaspoon, it can clip out the slag leaves in the teapot.

Tea food

The "tea food" in tea is not used to scoop tea, but also called "tea chop", which is used to dig out the tea soaked in the teapot instead of fingers. This is convenient and hygienic.

Chaze (teaspoon)

In the tea ceremony, there is a process of taking tea leaves out of the teapot and putting them into the teapot. You need to measure it before putting it in, and "Chaze" plays a role in measuring it, so it is most suitable for putting tea in a pot. It's like a miniature dustpan, and it's also like a small tea cone with a half cover. Ordinary Chaze is made of bamboo.

Tea needle

In a teapot, there is usually an internal network, that is, a "hive". When the internal network is blocked by tea leaves, tools are needed to dredge it to ensure the smooth flow of water in the teapot. At this time, you need to use a "tea needle". Another task of the tea needle is to stir the tea leaves in the teapot evenly, so that the whole tea leaves are on the top and the broken tea is on the bottom.

teahouse with two or more storeys

Teapots are usually small-mouthed. How can we keep tea from falling out when it enters the pot? The "tea leakage" between the six gentlemen in the tea ceremony played a guiding role. Just put the tea leak on the spout. There is also pouring tea or filtering tea.

The material of the six gentlemen in the tea ceremony is generally bamboo, because their temperament is relatively consistent. For example, bamboo will show elegant temperament, while wood is natural and can blend into the temperament of tea fragrance.
