 Etiquette for drinking tea


  In formal banquet occasions, drinking tea is essential before and after meals.
  Tea tasting is an exterior of cultural heritage for Chinese people.Tea-drinking etiquette is an important part of the dining table etiquette, and it should be regarded as equal to the above content, so as to be civilized and polite.Specifically, special attention is needed in the following two aspects.
  A humble attitude:
  Since it is a kind of etiquette to treat guests with tea, since the host treats people with tea with food, as the party who receives entertainment, the guest should also repay the host when drinking tea, and do not lose humility and respect.
  Before the owner serves tea, asks himself for advice and asks everyone what they want to drink, if there are no special taboos, you can choose one of the several options provided by the other party, or tell them whatever you want.In general, it is rude to make too high demands to the owner.
  If you are not used to drinking tea, you should explain it to the owner in time.If you haven't explained it yet and the tea has already come, just don't drink it.Never show your displeasure, and don’t blame the owner or the person who serves tea for you.
  If the master, especially the mistress or elder, serves tea for himself, if possible, he should immediately stand up, hold his hands together, and say: Thank you.Don't ignore it and ignore it.When it replenishes water for itself, it should also be returned with courtesy.When other people serve tea or refill themselves, they should also thank them in a timely and appropriate manner.
  If the other party is serving tea or replenishing water for him, it is difficult for him to stand up, hold his hands together or answer thanks, at least he should smile at him, nod and bow to him.Do not spill herbal tea or leftover tea that you don’t drink on the ground.
  During social activities, it is best not to drink tea when talking to a partner.If you or the partner you are talking to suddenly drink tea, it will not only interrupt the conversation, but also show that you are not dedicated.Only when you are not the main person you are talking to, or after the conversation with others has come to an end, can you act according to the opportunity and take a sip of tea to moisten your throat.
  Savor it carefully:
  When drinking tea, you must know how to taste it carefully.Doing this not only reflects one's own upbringing, but also a polite approach to others.
  When drinking tea, you should taste it carefully in small mouthfuls.After drinking a sip of tea, you should keep it in your mouth for a while and then swallow it slowly so that the tea will taste fragrant.In any case, don’t swallow the tea in big mouthfuls. It will suck it all in one go, and the throat will roar and the tea flows down the cheeks.Drinking tea in this way can only quench thirst, but there is no taste of the beauty of tea.
  When picking up the tea cup, hold the cup ear in your right hand.For a tea cup without ears, you should hold the middle part of the tea cup with your right hand.Do not hold the teacup in both hands, hold the bottom of the cup with your hands, or hold the mouth of the teacup with your hands. Doing so will be less elegant or not hygienic.


  When using a tea cup with a cup holder, you can just hold the tea cup with your right hand and keep it moving.You can also use your left hand to hold the cup and hold it to the height of your left chest, and then hold it up with your right hand to drink it.
  When drinking tea, avoid swallowing the tea soup with the tea leaves into your mouth, and do not take out the tea leaves from the tea, or even put them in your mouth to eat it.If tea leaves enter your mouth, do not spit them back into the tea cup or chew them and eat them.
  When drinking tea in a cup, use the lid of the cup to gently brush away the tea leaves floating above the tea water, and do not blow it with your mouth.If the tea is too hot, don't blow it, or use another tea cup to fold herbal tea water, but it is best to wait for it to cool naturally.
  When drinking black or milk tea, do not scoop tea with a teaspoon, and do not insert it in a teacup.When not in use, just place it on the cup holder.
  If the owner tells him that he is drinking a famous tea, he should carefully watch the tea soup before drinking, and praise it after drinking it, and do not ignore it, or belittle it casually, saying that he has never heard of the name of this kind of tea and does not taste very good, and the tea is a bit disgusting, or the owner is unhappy.
