Etiquette of tea tasting(pin cha de li yi )

Before serving tea, when the host asks himself for advice and "what would you like to drink", if there is no special taboo, he can choose one of several choices offered by the other party, or tell him "casually". In general, it is impolite to ask too much of the host.

When the host serves tea for himself, he should stand up and hold it with both hands when possible, and say, "thank you very much." Don't turn a blind eye to it. When they add water for themselves, they should also return it with courtesy. When other people serve tea and water for themselves, they should also give thanks in an appropriate way.

If it is difficult for the other party to stand up, hold hands or answer "thank you" when serving tea or water, at least smile, nod or bow. If you don't drink herbal tea or leftover tea, don't spill it on the ground. Tea, should be a small, a small to carefully taste.

When lifting the cup, hold the ear with your right hand. For a cup without cup ears, hold the middle of the cup with your right hand. Don't hold the cup with both hands. Hold the bottom of the cup with your hands or the mouth of the cup with your hands. It's either very serious, rude or not hygienic.

When using a cup with a cup holder, you can only lift the cup with your right hand without moving the cup holder. You can also use your left hand to hold the cup to the height of your left chest, and then drink it with your right hand.

When drinking tea, do not even tea soup with tea in the mouth, more can not start to take out tea from the tea, or even into the mouth of food. In case of tea into the mouth, do not spit it out, but should chew and eat it.

When drinking a cup of tea with lid, gently whisk the tea floating on the tea with lid instead of blowing it with mouth. If the tea is too hot, don't blow it, or pour it back and forth with another cup. It's better to let it cool naturally.
