Tea drinking culture in China has a long history that can be traced back to the Shennong period, and it also has a history of thousands of years, which has been passed down to the present. Nowadays, when friends and partners visit us, we always brew a pot of tea to entertain them and use tea as a gift. So what etiquette should we pay attention to when drinking tea? Let’s learn about it here.

1. First, the tea set must be clean.

When guests enter the house, they are asked to sit down first and then served tea. Before making tea, be sure to wash the tea set thoroughly, especially those that have not been used for a long time. They are inevitably stained with dust and dirt, so they must be carefully washed with clean water. It is best to scald the teapot and teacup with boiling water before making or pouring tea. In this way, you can be both hygienic and polite. It is impolite to pour tea for guests without paying attention to whether the tea set is clean or not. People will feel sick when they see the stains on the teapot and teacups, so how can they be willing to drink your tea?

2. Be moderate when cutting vegetables and pouring tea.

Nowadays, most companies use disposable cups. Before pouring tea, you should make sure to put a coaster on the disposable cup to prevent the hot water from scalding the guests' hands and making it difficult for them to hold the cup and drink tea. Secondly, drink tea in moderation. Let’s talk about tea first. Generally, it should be appropriate. The amount of tea should not be too much or too little. If there are too many tea leaves, the tea will be too strong; if there are too few tea leaves, the brewed tea will have no taste. If the guest takes the initiative to tell you whether he likes strong or weak tea, then make the tea according to his taste. When pouring tea, no matter it is a large cup or a small cup, it should not be poured too full. If it is too full, it will easily overflow and make the table, stool and floor wet. If you are not careful, you may burn your own or your guests' hands and feet, which will be very embarrassing for both the host and the guest. Of course, it is not advisable to pour too little. If the tea is only enough to cover the bottom of the cup when it is served to the guests, people will feel that you are pretending and not being sincere.

3. Again, you have to know how to serve tea.

According to the traditional customs of our people, as long as both hands are not disabled, tea is served to guests with both hands. However, some young people nowadays do not understand this rule and just hand the tea to the guests with one hand. You must be very careful when serving tea with both hands. For teacups with handles, you usually hold the handle with one hand and support the bottom of the cup with the other hand to serve the tea to the guests. After a teacup without handles is filled with tea, it becomes extremely hot and difficult to touch with bare hands. However, some comrades, without thinking twice, pinch the edge of the cup with five fingers and pass it to the guests. Although this method of serving tea can prevent scalding accidents, it is unsightly and unhygienic. Just imagine, would it feel good if the guest licked the host's finger marks with his mouth?

4. Add tea.

If your boss or client needs more tea in their cup, you should do it without hesitation. You can signal the waiter to refill the tea, or ask the waiter to leave the teapot on the table and refill it yourself, which is even better. This is the best way to cover up when you don't know what to say. Of course, when adding tea, you should first add tea to your boss and customers, and then add tea to yourself.
