Huang Tingjian of the Song Dynasty wrote in "Pinling Tea Words": "The taste is strong and fragrant. Drunken country road, into a good environment. Just like under the lamp, the old man is thousands of miles away, and he returns to the shadow. The mouth cannot speak, and the heart is happy and introspective. ”
The decoctioned tea has a mellow taste and a long-lasting aroma. Drinking tea is intoxicating, but unlike the pain of drunkenness, tea drunkenness has a sense of getting better. It's like facing a lonely lamp, and the deceased came from thousands of miles away to meet. This kind of wonder can only be understood, not spokenThe taste can only be recognized by the drinker.
The Northern Song Dynasty still has tea and loves tea, Huang Tingjian's "Pinling Tea Words" can be said to have written the joy of drinking tea in the hearts of the Song people. During the Song Dynasty,"The guest and the host set up a ceremony, and the tea is not paid".Serving tea has become a common etiquette in people's daily life and continues to this day. Today, let's talk about the tea pouring etiquette that is easy to be overlooked by us in serving tea.
Pour the tea without using a fair cup
When making tea,The concentration of tea soup will vary depending on the time of soup. In addition, the flavor of the tea soup will gradually fade as the number of brews increases. If you pour the tea soup in the teapot or gaiwan directly into the guest's cup, there will be a situation where the concentration of the tea soup is different, and it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of favoritism.
Use a fair cup to pour tea, just to even out the tea soupLet the guests here all drink the same taste of teaThis is where the "fairness" of the fair cup lies, which reflects the host's respect for the guests. When there are many guests, one brew of tea is often not enough, so you can mix two brews of tea soup in a fair cup, and then pour tea for the guests.
Pour the tea too full
China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and everything pays attention to a courtesy. As the saying goes"Wine is full of respect, tea is full of deception",Tea poured seven points full of hospitality consensus.
Generally, we are boiling water to make tea, and pour tea for guests after the soup is out in time, if the hot tea is poured too full, the guests will not only burn their hands when they raise their glasses, but also may cause the tea soup to spill and burn the guests. In addition, if the tea is too full, it may cause the tea to flow out or burn the mouth. Therefore, pouring tea is seven points full, leaving three points of affection, and it is more considerate and thoughtful.
Pour the tea too high
Due to the small size of the teacup, if the tea is poured from a high place, it is easy to cause the tea to splash out, pollute the table hygiene, and hinder the view. In addition, pouring tea from a high place inevitably feels frivolous and disrespectful to the guests. RecommendationsWhen pouring tea, the fair cup is as close to the teacup as possibleThis is also conducive to avoiding too much loss of the aroma of the tea soup.
Pour the tea without drying it
When making tea, the bottom of the tea set is easy to get wet, especially when the "wet brewing method" is used. If the bottom of the fair cup drips when pouring tea, it is easy to give people an unclean appearance, and it is easy to pollute the clean tea table environment in front of the guests when refilling the cup.
So,Before pouring tea, you should "dip" the fair cup on the tea towel to avoid dripping water at the bottomWhen giving the tea cup to the guest, it is also necessary to dry the water at the bottom of the cup on the tea towel to ensure that the tea cup is dry when the guest uses it.
The cup was not refilled in time
As a tea host,When entertaining guests, we should always pay attention to the rhythm and state of the guests' tea drinkingWhen you observe that the guest's teacup is empty, you should refill the tea in time. If the guest has not touched the tea in the cup, it is necessary to observe whether the guest is unwell or the tea brewed does not meet the customer's appetite.
In addition, if a new guest arrives in the middle of making tea, in order to welcome, the tea owner should immediately change to a new tea, and the new tea soup after the tea change should be drunk by the new guest first.
The above is the tea pouring etiquette that is easily overlooked in tea hospitality, and we will see you next time
