Tea etiquette Tea, coffee and cocoa are called the three major drinks in the world. When we receive visiting guests, making and serving tea has become an indispensable hospitality etiquette. Whether you drink it yourself or entertain guests, you are very particular about drinking tea. Don't take tea to brew in front of the guests. Even if you take tea in front of the guests, you should not directly grab the tea, but take it with a spoon, or directly pour the tea into the teapot and teacup with a tea can. When offering tea to guests, the most important thing is to pay attention to the preferences of guests, the rules of serving tea, the methods of offering tea and the timing of refilling water. If possible, prepare more kinds of tea, so that guests can have a variety of choices. Before serving tea, you should ask the guests whether they drink tea or drinks, and if they are used to drinking tea, what kind of tea they use, and provide several possible choices. Don't be self-righteous. If there is only one kind of tea, it should be made clear in advance. From a medical point of view, don't drink tea too strongly, unless the guests have special requirements. Treat guests with tea, pay attention to hot tea, and it is seven minutes full. There is also a saying that "tea is full of deception" when serving tea. When entertaining guests with tea, who will serve tea for the guests often involves the importance attached to the guests. When entertaining guests at home, tea is usually served by the younger generation or the family waiter. When receiving important guests, it is best for the hostess or even the host to serve tea herself. When entertaining guests in the work unit, the secretary and receptionist should generally serve tea for the guests. When receiving important guests, the person with the highest position in the unit should personally serve tea. If there are many guests, you can follow the principles of guest first, guest first, guest second, female first, male first, elder first and junior second. You can start from entering the living room and serve tea in turn clockwise; Can also be in the order of first come, first come; Another "lazy" way is to soak all the tea and let the guests help themselves. You'd better not drink tea when talking to others. Even if you want to drink, it is polite to sip it. Don't swallow the tea in your mouth. If you drink tea in your mouth, don't spit it out or take it out of your mouth by hand, but eat it or spit it out somewhere else. If the host treats the guests with tea sincerely, the most appropriate way is to pour tea and water for the guests frequently. The moral of this practice is: "Drink slowly and talk slowly." In the past, we had a saying that "there are no more than three cups of tea". The first cup is called guest-respecting tea, the second cup is called water-renewing tea, and the third cup is called guest-sending tea. If people are repeatedly advised to use tea without talking, it often means reminding guests that it is time to go home. Therefore, when entertaining the elderly or overseas Chinese with tea, don't pour tea again and again. More content: /u/1782935474
