In recent years, the market has prospered and commodity transactions have been very active. Teahouses are also an important place for industrial and commercial people to exchange information and negotiate business. People in southern Shaanxi have always had the custom of mediating civil disputes in teahouses. Both parties to the dispute invite sensible and respected people to serve as mediators. The two parties enter the teahouse together and talk about the facts while drinking tea. They will explain their respective reasons clearly and let the mediator evaluate the situation. After the mediator makes the arbitration, all the tea money will be paid by the losing party. This is called "eating and talking about tea". In the old society, people believed that "the yamen of the world open to the south, and no one can come in if they have a reason or money." If there is a dispute, many people do not want to go to court to file a complaint, and many people invite people to mediate in teahouses. Today's people's courts enforce the law impartially. However, some people are still willing to go to teahouses to mediate disputes because they are afraid of the trouble of filing a lawsuit.

The teahouses in southern Shaanxi provide attentive and enthusiastic service to tea customers. After brewing a cup of tea for a day, as long as the tea leaves are not exchanged and there is no extra charge, the teahouse owner will never look down upon the customers or issue an eviction order. When you need to add water, just open the tea lid and the tea waiter will come over and add water immediately. As summer gets hotter, teahouses even hand out hot towels to teagoers to wipe their sweat. Many people think it’s worth spending a few dimes to sit comfortably and drink happily in the teahouse.

People in northern Shaanxi lived in poverty in the past. They ate very little and had no need to drink tea, so they did not form the custom of drinking tea. Nowadays, life has greatly improved, and more and more people drink tea. Generally, they mainly drink green tea and black tea. Most of them brew and drink it at home and do not have the habit of sitting in a teahouse to drink tea.
