Chinese tea art enjoys a high reputation in the world. It was introduced to Japan in the Tang Dynasty and formed the Japanese tea ceremony. ? Tea drinking began in China. Tea leaves are washed with boiled water, which is natural, elegant and tasteful, seeking the inherent taste of tea and focusing on artistic conception. This is the characteristic of Chinese tea tasting. Tea with the same quality, such as different water, different tea sets or different brewing techniques, will have different effects. Since ancient times, China has paid great attention to the brewing of tea and accumulated rich experience. To make good tea, we should understand the characteristics of all kinds of tea and master the scientific brewing technology, so that the inherent quality of tea can be fully displayed. People in China pay attention to the word "quality" when drinking tea. "Tea tasting" is not only to identify the advantages and disadvantages of tea, but also to daydream and appreciate the taste of tea. Soaking a pot of strong tea in your busy schedule, choosing a quiet place and drinking it by yourself can eliminate fatigue, relieve boredom, refresh your mind, and sip slowly to enjoy beauty and sublimate the spiritual world to a noble artistic realm. The environment for tea tasting is generally composed of buildings, gardens, furnishings, tea sets and other factors. Drinking tea requires quietness, freshness, comfort and cleanliness. China's gardens are world-famous, and its landscapes are even more numerous. Use gardens or natural mountains and rivers to set up tea rooms, so that people can have a rest and be full of interest. ? China is an ancient civilization, a state of etiquette, and attaches great importance to etiquette. Where guests come, the etiquette of making tea and offering tea is essential. When a guest comes to visit, you can argue for opinions and choose the best tea set that best suits the guest's taste. It is also necessary to mix tea properly when offering tea to guests. When drinking tea with guests, the host should pay attention to the residual amount of tea in the guest's cup and pot. Generally, tea is made in a teacup. If half of it has been drunk, boiling water should be added, so that the concentration of tea is basically consistent and the water temperature is appropriate. When drinking tea, it can also be properly accompanied by tea, candy, dishes, etc., to achieve the effect of regulating taste and snacks. ?
