Secondly, warm the pot: first, pour boiling water into the empty pot to warm the pot. Then pour the water into various tea trays.

Etiquette procedure of tea worship
When offering tea to guests, the most important thing is to pay attention to the guests' hobbies, the rules of serving tea, the method of offering tea and the timing of pouring water.
1, guest's hobby
As the saying goes: it's hard to adjust? Drinking tea is actually the same. Some people like to drink green tea, while others like to drink black tea. Some people like to drink hot tea, while others like to drink herbal tea. Some people like to drink sugar tea, others like to drink milk tea. When entertaining guests with tea, if possible, take care of their preferences, especially their preferences.
If possible, more kinds of tea should be prepared so that guests can have several choices. Before serving tea, you should ask the guests what kind of tea they like and provide them with several possible choices. Don't be self-righteous. Of course, if there is only one kind of tea, you must be realistic and make it clear. Don't be too polite. If the guests point out the tea varieties they don't have, it will be difficult to step down.
At the same time, we should also consider that some people don't like tea for various reasons. Therefore, if possible, before serving tea, you should ask the guests for their personal opinions: what kind of drinks do you want to drink, and provide you with several choices within your power, such as boiled water, mineral water, coffee, malt extract, fruit tea, fruit treasure, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta and so on.
It is generally believed that drinking tea should not be too strong, otherwise it is very likely to make drinkers? Drunk tea? That is, excessive intake of coffee makes people too excited and even convulse. Therefore, if the guests have no special requirements, the tea served for them should not be too strong. Usually when people entertain guests with tea, they pay attention to hot tea. What else? Tea is a lie? 、? Seven teas and eight drinks? Said. It means that tea should not be too full, and it is better to be seven points full. So that hot tea will not overflow from the cup and burn people.
2, the rules of drinking tea
(1) the person who serves tea
When entertaining guests with tea, who will serve tea for the guests often involves the degree of attention to the guests. When entertaining guests at home, tea can generally be served by the younger generation or family attendants at home. When receiving important guests, the hostess or even the host herself will serve them tea.
When entertaining guests at work, secretaries, receptionists and full-time staff usually serve tea for the guests. When waiting for important guests, the highest-ranking person in the unit should serve tea in person.
(2) Tea serving sequence
If there are many visiting guests, the order of serving tea must be careful and must not be arbitrary. Etiquette should be:
First, serve tea for the guests first, and then serve tea for the host;
Second, serve tea for the main guest first, and then serve tea for the second guest;
Third, serve tea for women first, and then serve tea for men;
Fourth, serve tea for the elders first, and then serve tea for the younger generation.
If there are many guests and there is little difference between them, you can serve tea in the following four orders:
First, take tea drinkers as the starting point, and serve tea from near to far in turn;
Second, starting from the entrance of the living room, serve tea in turn clockwise;
Third, when serving tea, guests come first and then arrive, in order;
Fourth, whether the tea is served out of order or by the drinker himself.
3, the method of tea worship
When entertaining guests with tea, it is generally necessary to soak the tea thoroughly in advance, put it in a teacup, then put it in a tea tray and put it in the living room. If there are many guests, be sure to prepare more cups of tea. Just in case. Drink too much porridge? The supply does not meet the demand.
When serving tea, you should take this opportunity to show your humility and respect to the guests. The standard tea service procedure is: enter the living room with tea tray in both hands. First put the tea tray on the coffee table or standby table near the guest, then hold the cup holder with your right hand, stick it on the cup holder with your left hand, and hand the cup upward from the left back side of the guest. After the teacup is put away, the ears of the teacup should face outwards. If you use a teacup without a cup holder, you should also hold the teacup in your hand.
Serve tea from the guest's left back, so as not to interfere with his work or conversation. If conditions do not permit, at least serve tea from its right side, and try not to serve tea from its right front.
Sometimes, in order to remind guests, you can tell them quietly while serving tea. Would you like some tea? . If you thank yourself for your direction, don't forget to answer? You're welcome. If your tea service bothers guests, should you let them know? Excuse me. .
When offering tea to guests, you must try not to serve tea with one hand, especially with your left hand. At the same time, when serving tea with both hands, don't put your fingers on the mouth of the teacup or immerse them in the tea to pollute the tea.
When placing the cup, don't be careless, so as not to directly hit the guest, and don't put the cup on the guest's stall or where it is easy to knock over when moving. It is the most appropriate way to put the teacup on the right hand side of the guest.
4. The timing of water.
When serving tea to guests, it is usually not advisable to pour it too full, and it is not allowed to overflow easily. The correct way is to pour it to 2/3 of the cup depth, otherwise it will be suspected of being tired or chasing customers.
If the host sincerely treats guests with tea, the most appropriate way is to often pour tea and water for the guests. Generally speaking, after a few sips of tea, guests should continue to serve tea, and never let the tea in the cup bottom. The moral of this practice is: tea is inexhaustible, drink slowly and talk slowly. ?
Of course, if you want to renew tea for the guests, you must say that the Lord is at the convenience of the guests. Don't put on airs, pour tea and water for the guests over and over again, but never say a word. How did China entertain guests before? Only three cups of tea? Say it. The first cup is called jing ke tea, and the second cup is called Xushui tea. The third cup is called Fujian tea. If you repeatedly persuade people to use tea and have nothing to say, it often means reminding guests? Should we go home? . In view of this, don't pour tea for conservative old people or overseas Chinese when using tea.
It is better not to interfere with each other when pouring water and tea for guests. If possible, it is best not to operate in front of it. If you must do this, you should pick up the teacup in one hand, keep it away from the guest's body, seat and body, and continue to pour water with the other hand.
When adding more water, don't fill it too full, and don't let your fingers, teapot or water bottle dirty the teacup. If possible, you should stick a clean towel on the teapot or bottle mouth to prevent tea? Freedom is rampant? .
Tea is only eight minutes full.
When entertaining guests with coffee or black tea, the handle of the cup ear and teaspoon should face the guest's right. In addition, a packet of sugar and cream should be prepared for each guest and placed next to the cup or on a small plate for the convenience of the guests. The environment for drinking tea should be quiet, elegant, clean and comfortable, which makes people feel happy. Tea selection should also vary from person to person. For example, northerners like to drink scented tea, Jiangsu and Zhejiang people like to drink pure green tea, and Guangdong people in Fujian like gloomy oolong tea and Pu 'er tea. Tea sets can be exquisite and unique, or simple and simple.
Of course, guests who drink tea should also return the gift, take it with both hands and nod their thanks. Pay attention to sipping when drinking tea, which has a bitter and sweet aftertaste. Its fun lies in meaning, not words. In addition, the host's good tea can also be properly praised. The tea in the pot can be brewed three or four times repeatedly. When the tea in the guest's cup is finished, the host can give him more tea, and the guest can't collect the tea until he is scattered.
