Serving tea is a custom in China. A tradition they follow with etiquette too.

Tea serving etiquette in China has a history of over 3000 years.

  Tea etiquette tips

• The host should show the tea, and introduce the characteristics to guests, while guests should smell the tea by turns.
• To invite guest to drink; use two hands to hold the tea to guests to show respect. The tea cup should be placed at the right hand of the guest.
• Everyone should pour tea for everyone else rather than for your own self.

• Turn the pot lid upside down to request a refill.

• When someone pours tea, a gently tap on second knuckles of the first two fingers of your right hand, means a ‘thank you.’
• Avoid drinking a big mouthful of tea.
• Avoid crossing legs when drinking tea no matter host or guest.
