How to use the fair cup tea set

The Fairy Cup is a special utensil for serving wine. With the use and love of tea drinkers, the Fairy Cup has become one of the indispensable tea sets at the tea party. The method of using a fair cup includes the following steps:

The volume of the fair cup should match the teapot or tureen. Usually the fair cup is slightly larger than the tureen.

When making tea, in order to ensure that the brewed tea soup has a roughly consistent taste within the normal brewing times, and to prevent the tea from becoming thick and bitter after soaking for a long time, the brewed tea soup should be poured in time. In a fair cup, you can drink at any time.

The fair cup is easy to get wet when placed at the bottom of the tea table. Before serving tea to the guests, first "dip" the fair cup on the tea towel to avoid dripping from the bottom. If you accidentally spill tea on the tea table when pouring tea, wipe it with a tea towel in time to avoid causing trouble to the guests.

Pouring tea from a fair cup should be as close as possible to the cup. Pouring low makes people feel more respectful, and can also prevent tea soup from splashing. The gesture of pouring tea is more elegant, making both host and guest feel comfortable and happy.

“To be respectful with wine, to deceive others with tea”, it has become the common sense of tea drinkers to only pour tea 70% full. The main consideration in this way is to make it convenient for guests to drink tea: the cup will not be too full. Hot, easy to pick up; appropriate amount of tea soup, not easy to spill; the amount of tea is convenient for guests to sip slowly.

The tea should be poured from left to right and clockwise, and no "crossing over objects" is allowed. The so-called "crossing things" means passing your hands over other tea sets, which can easily knock over the tea sets and get your sleeves wet. "Crossed" means that the left hand pours tea for the guest on the right, and the right hand pours tea for the guest on the left. This movement range is too large, the body is prone to tilt, and the posture is unsightly.

Replenish tea in a timely manner. When you observe that the guest's cup is empty, refill it as soon as possible. When you observe that the tea in the guest's cup has not been moved, you should observe whether the guest is feeling unwell or the tea brewed is not to the guest's appetite.

When using a fair cup, you should also pay attention to other etiquette rules, such as respecting guests, keeping tea sets clean, and avoiding knocking over tea sets. As a tea utensil, the etiquette standards reflected by the Fairy Cup can also be applied to other tea utensils.
