" Before brewing, briefly introduce the name of the brewed tea, as well as the cultural background, origin, quality characteristics, brewing points and so on.

Tea selection

Out of respect for the guests, we should prepare several different teas for drinking tea, and ask the guests in advance what tea they like, what tea they don't like or what tea they don't like.

make tea

When making tea, you need to pay attention to some details, such as the spout of the kettle should not point at people, and the sharp part of the tea set should not point at people. When cooking soup, it's best to filter tea ware, and don't let guests drink tea residue.

After making tea, serve it to the guests. Using coasters is more hygienic and polite. Holding a cup with a coaster in both hands, put it on the table in front of the guests and say, "please have tea."

Keep drinking tea

Always pay attention to the rhythm of guests drinking tea and fill the empty cups in time. If there is still half a cup in the cup, it means "I don't need to pour me tea yet" If the tea soup in the guest's cup is cold, you need to pour it out for the guest, and then pour the hot tea.

clean

Expo mugs need to be dipped in tea towels when pouring tea for guests to avoid dripping. If there are water stains on the coffee table, dry it with a tea towel in time to keep the countertop fresh and clean.

time

Arriving at the appointed time and not being late is the basic etiquette of visiting, so I don't need to go into details.

It is a good accomplishment to drink tea in other people's homes or teahouses and bring some small gifts to the host. It doesn't need to be too expensive, lest the host can't stand it. If you are not sure about the owner's preference, you can send flowers to decorate the coffee table, or send some refreshments with tea, which is very suitable and can also welcome the respect of your peers.

call out

There is no need to say thank you loudly when the host pours tea. Tap the desktop three times with the forefinger and middle finger together, and smile and nod to the host to thank him.

tea

Ask for tea

You can ask the host about the type, name, origin, year and technology of tea, but it is very impolite to ask how much it costs per catty, which will not only embarrass the host, but also reduce his own quality.

comment

The discussion about tea can describe the aroma, taste, technology and so on. But don't condescend, comment on tea quality and assert tea price. If you and other tea drinkers have different feelings about tea, please communicate modestly. There's no need to argue about right and wrong, it's rude.
