Why do Tibetans love drinking tea?

Tea is an indispensable drink in the life of Tibetan compatriots, and it also extends a series of Tibetan tea culture.

Because of the long history of drinking tea in Tibetan communities, a rich and colorful tea culture has also been formed.

In the folk, tea is indispensable for a family at any time of the day. It can be said that a person will never leave the tea bowl from opening his eyes in the morning to going to bed at night. Therefore, Tibetan compatriots are also very particular about tea sets. No matter how bad the conditions at home are, they will not drink tea with broken tea bowls. Tibetan compatriots generally like to drink tea in wooden bowls, which are divided into several grades, among which Ali is the best. There are also some wealthy families who use silver-plated tea trays and tea racks with exquisite porcelain bowls, so tea sets have become beautiful family decorations.

Tea carries a special task in many drinks, and people place their feelings and blessings on it. For example, if someone is not at home, he must fill a bowl of tea in a tea bowl and leave it for three days after departure. If the bowl is empty, it is considered unlucky for travelers.

In the eyes of Tibetan compatriots, the richness of tea and wine is a symbol of a happy life. "Happiness is the rotation of tea and wine." Take enough tea bags, salt bags and butter boxes when working in the field or going far away. When a family comes to a distant guest, the neighbors will take a pot of tea and a pot of wine and leave to meet the dust. Now this ancient style is still the same in the countryside.
