Drinking tea is a personal enjoyment, drinking tea can not only taste the aroma and taste of tea, but also make people find a trace of tranquility in the complicated life, but as a social person, when drinking tea is often with others.
At this time, it is particularly important to master some basic social etiquette and tea drinking habits, the following mistakes are often made by tea lovers, which ones have you made?
Wrong way to raise a pot.
In the eyes of tea lovers, the purple clay pot is the best choice for raising pots.
However, many tea lovers do not raise pots in the right way, they often think that as long as the purple clay pot is washed with hot water, the body of the pot can absorb the aroma of tea, this illusion makes the pot fragrant overflowing, but in fact this will greatly affect the quality of the tea brewed.
The purple clay pot is made of clay and has tiny caves inside that absorb the surrounding material and form a protective film.
But this protective film will not play a magical role in enhancing the fragrance of tea, if not cleaned regularly, it will cause a certain amount of tea mildew and deterioration, therefore, every time after using the purple clay pot, it should be rinsed with boiling water in time to avoid tea deterioration.
In addition, you should also pay attention to cleaning the dust and dirt inside the pot regularly, so as to keep the purple clay pot clean and avoid affecting the tea aroma.
Improper selection of tea utensils.
Drinking tea is not only an individual enjoyment, but also a social activity, when drinking tea, the utensils we use are often related to the flavor enjoyed by the subject, and some friends ignore this point when drinking tea, thus affecting the taste and experience of tea.
Different types of tea require different types of tea utensils to be brewed in order to bring out their true flavor.
For example, black teas such as mandarin pu-erh need to be brewed in purple sand or ceramic cups to maintain their original flavor, while young bud types such as green and white teas need to be brewed in glasses to maintain their fragrance and color appeal.
Therefore, before drinking tea, we should carefully study the style of tea to be drunk and choose the right tea set for brewing in order to better taste its essence.
Brew with superheated water.
Drinking tea not only requires the right water temperature, but also needs to pay attention to the water quality, it is absolutely inappropriate to use tap water, mineral water, etc. for brewing, and purified water, distilled water, etc. should be used to maintain the quality and nutrients of the tea.
However, some friends ignore the water temperature when drinking tea, they think that the hotter the better, so there is overheating every time they brew, and even boiling the water to a boil and pouring it directly into the teacup.
This practice is very wrong, different types of tea have different requirements for water temperature, overheated water will precipitate the harmful substances in the tea, and at the same time will damage the nutrients in it, resulting in the loss of the original taste and nutritional value of the tea.
Therefore, we should carefully study the requirements of different types of tea for water temperature, and control the water temperature when brewing, so as to better taste its essence and nutritional value.
Impolite behavior when drinking tea.
You should also pay attention to some etiquette when drinking tea, not only to pay attention to your own behavior, but also to respect the behavior of others, when eating with others, you should not gulp in a big drink, otherwise it is easy to burn or appear impolite.
When drinking tea, we should taste it in small sips, since our most vulnerable position is in the mouth area, it can be very uncomfortable if it is burned, therefore, it is best to wait a little before drinking it to allow it to cool down a little.
At the same time, in social situations, we should not force others to drink the same as ourselves, after all, everyone's receptivity is different, so we should try to respect the taste choices of others in the drink.
In addition, when someone invites us to taste their recommended drink, we should not be disrespectful, and it is best to be humble and ask for advice to avoid embarrassment and misunderstanding.
I don't know how to pretend to understand.
When drinking tea, some friends were not familiar with the connoisseurs, so they chose a tea that they had heard of but had not really tasted, and pretended to know it very well, and began to analyze it on the side.
However, due to the lack of real-world experience, it is very easy to do so with embarrassment and misunderstandings, misleading others, and also causing harm to yourself.
Therefore, if we don't really know about a drink, it's best not to rush into evaluation and analysis to avoid making insulting remarks or causing misunderstandings by others.
In addition, in social situations, we should try to respect the tastes and choices of others, and do not follow the trend casually, and if we try it ourselves but don't like it, we should also express it frankly so as not to cause unnecessary embarrassment.
Correcting these bad habits in tea drinking can not only allow us to better taste the essence of tea, but also extract the etiquette in interacting with others, making our lives smoother, and at the same time, we can better enjoy the fun of drinking tea.
