1.Can a tea drinker recline on the back of a chair and watch the tea maker make tea and accept his tea?
No, you cannot
The reclining position does make people feel comfortable and relaxed at home, but in public places, this behavior exudes arrogance and contempt, as if ignoring the efforts of the tea maker and showing a loss of respect for others.
We don't need to sit upright when drinking tea, but a good sitting posture is still essential. With both feet on the ground and palms naturally placed on the knees, this posture not only shows respect for the tea maker, but also enables oneself to better appreciate the aroma of tea and the spiritual connotation of the tea ceremony.
2.The tea maker serves tea to the tea drinker, and the tea drinker can continue to chat and ignore himNo, you cannotIn the activities of making tea and tasting tea, we should follow the principle of "silence is golden" in order to appreciate and taste this work of art wholeheartedly. The tea ceremony, like a painting or **, requires us to feel it with our hearts and listen to it quietly. Therefore, during the tea ceremony, we are asked to remain silent and not say a word, so that our minds can be immersed in the charm of tea. However, in some light-hearted "party-style" tea parties, soft conversation is allowed. But when the tea servant comes to us with the tea, we must pause the conversation for a moment and accept this precious cup of tea with full attention. We should respond with a sincere "thank you" to the meticulous and thoughtful tea servants. This act reflects both our respect for the tea ceremony and our gratitude to the tea servants.
3.During a meeting, can the attendees ignore the tea servant when he serves tea to the attendees?No, you cannotAttendees, don't just bask in the joy of greeting and speaking, pause in between hustle and bustle to show gratitude for a nod or smile at others. Don't misinterpret it as an interruption from others, this way of serving tea is actually a way of respecting and entertaining the participants. Keep in mind that in some meetings, it is inappropriate to have tea on the table before the guests arrive.
4.When the teacher is in class, the student serves him tea, what should the teacher do?The teacher must stand (or sit upright) with full attention to the serving of tea, and cast a grateful glance at the servant for his attentiveness.
Don't interrupt this sacred ceremony out of disgust and make the atmosphere awkward. When the teacher arrives, the tea servant makes a special pot of tea for him, which is a high respect for the teacher, and the teacher should accept it with a tolerant and generous attitude.
5.When making tea, is it okay for the tea drinker to sit with his legs crossed and touch his ankles with his hands and wait for the tea to be drunkNo, you cannotIt is neither polite nor hygienic to sit in such a posture that the correct sitting posture should be with your feet flat on the floor, your hands on your knees, and your back gently resting on the back of the chair, or if you don't have a back, you should sit in an upright position.
6.When the tea maker brings the tea, should the tea drinker knock on the table with his fingers?Unnecessary. Some people say that this action is a polite expression, as if thanking the person who made the tea. However, we believe that this kind of "thank you" seems too hasty and is not as sincere as a solemn bow or a direct statement. Some people even described it as a kowtow to the emperor in ancient times, and emphasized which finger to use, how many knocks, and so on. We believe that this kind of "prostration" is pure nonsense and does not apply to modern life. We should use a modern way of thinking to find the way of expression that modern people should have.
7.Do you want to blow the tea soup cool before drinking tea?Unnecessary. The tea soup is steaming, like a morning mist, let it lie naturally on the table, and enjoy the tranquility. Don't be in a hurry, wait for it to cool down a little, and then drink.
Yes, the temperature of the tea soup should be moderate in order to truly appreciate its charm. Why rush for a while, in a hurry to blow cool?This urgency seems too greedy, so why not calm down and wait in peace.
Some people even teach everyone how to "blow" tea, as if they have mastered a skill, but they don't know that this is the wrong way to impetuousness. What we emphasize is "waiting", and we will spend as much time as we want, which is the attitude that tea tasting should have.
It cannot be said that "waiting" is a waste of time. Regarding whether to "blow" tea, what we should ** is the mentality, not the skill.
8.Do you want to make a sound when drinking tea?When drinking tea, you should respect its essence and do not need to deliberately stipulate whether it makes a sound or not. If there is a natural sound, it is the harmonious sound of tea and water, and if it is quiet, it is the tranquility of the tea taster's state of mind.
It is not necessary to judge the professionalism of tea tasting by the volume of the voice, but by the mood and feelings. Close your eyes and take the tea, and between bites, you can experience the aroma of tea. The taste of tea lies in the feeling of the heart, and the movements and sounds are all real embodiments, and they do not have to be deliberate.
9.Should I drink all the tea?Should. Although the amount of soup in the small pot of tea is small, it can be easily drunk in one go.
If you feel that the tea soup is too strong to eat, you only need to ask the tea maker to dilute it slightly and continue to taste.
As for the tiny tea powder at the bottom of the cup, you don't have to worry about it, they will not damage the mellow aroma of the tea, and it will never affect your health. Some people always leave half a cup of tea every time they drink a cup of tea, or there is more than one mouthful in the cup, which is really disrespectful to tea and people, and should be taken as a warning.
10.Can a tea drinker reach out to the "field" of the tea maker and take a pot to take the sea of tea and pour tea?No, you cannot
In the world of making and drinking tea, everyone has their own territory. This is not limited to tea brewers and tea drinkers, and even tea drinkers have their own boundaries. It's like in a vast grassland, where each creature has its own territory and does not invade each other. In this grassland, tea sets and tea are those precious treasures, each guarding its own territory. Don't cross the line and touch someone else's treasure. When it's your turn, nature will pass into your hands. We should give full trust to tea makers. They are like guardians on the grassland, carefully arranging the flow of tea. I'm sure they've already arranged when to taste and when to stop. Let us taste this cup of fragrant tea together on this grassland and feel the deep trust and harmony.
11.Is there a "Cheers" ritual for drinking tea?No. Tea is suitable for fine tasting, not carnival, and the rich flavor of tea can make it exist independently and exude its own charm. You don't have to "replace wine with tea", it's better to find a time to make an appointment if you like wine.
12.When a tea drinker sees someone making tea or offering it to him, he asks "what kind of tea" is okay?Tea cannot be drunk with "ears". To understand the planning of the tea maker, to appreciate the unique place of the tea maker, to drink the special place of the tea, the tea drinker will know what kind of tea he is drinking. Furthermore, it doesn't matter what kind of tea it is, it is important to have the ability to appreciate different teas and to accept the content of each tea.
13.Should the tea drinker's fingers be cocked up when holding the teacup, and make an "orchid finger" or any famous gesture?Don't go for fancy forms, don't hang your fingers at any time, it's not only ugly, it's pointless. When serving a teacup, it's important to be steady, don't let the tea spill out, and don't burn yourself. Holding the rim between your thumb and forefinger and holding the bottom of the cup with your middle finger is a good pose, but you don't have to stick to it, and if you are not used to holding the bottom of the cup, you can use it in other ways.
Staying natural and comfortable is paramount, and it is not necessary to go overboard in the pursuit of the so-called "correct posture".
14.Can a tea drinker smoke while drinking tea?No, you cannotThe tea ceremony is a non-smoking area, and smoking should be done in the smoking area. Moreover, tea drinking activities need to arrange a complete period of time to free up and concentrate on doing it, and it is not suitable to do anything else while drinking tea. Therefore, even if there is a smoking area nearby, do not smoke from your seat.
15.Can a tea drinker turn around and walk away as soon as the last cup of tea is finished?No, you cannotWait for the tea maker to return the cups and other tea utensils to their places, restore the appearance of the tea ceremony (don't let the tea ceremony be unkempt and say goodbye to the guests), and formally say goodbye before the tea drinker leaves. At this time, the tea drinker can thank the tea maker and thank the other tea drinkers before leaving. In some more formal tea parties, the tea drinker will let the tea drinker appreciate the brewed tea base, drink a glass of water before the end, and the tea drinker should be committed to cooperating and enjoying before saying goodbye.
