There is a saying in Chaozhou: "three drinks of tea, four drinks of iron peaches and two drinks of iron peaches", which means that three people drink tea better, four people drink, and iron peaches mean playing, and two people are the most fun.

"I would rather have no food for three days than no tea for one day." Wind ovens, kettles, teapots and teacups are called "Four Treasures of Tea Making". A small cup for drinking tea, called Ruochen Ou, is only half the size of table tennis. Drinking tea with such a small cup is really a display of the art of tea tasting in Han nationality.

The tea ceremony in Kung Fu tea is "harmony, respect, elegance and joy". Respect-embodies the spirit of a person and a nation. The word "respect" is incorporated into Kung Fu tea art, which is called "poor drinking method", that is to say, three people use two cups, four people use three cups and five people use four cups. The other three words stand for Kung Fu Tea Road.

The reason why only three cups are used is the embodiment of "respect"!

The first cup is sour, the second cup is bitter and the last cup is sweet. Chaozhou people pays attention to bitter before sweet when drinking tea, which can reflect chaozhou people's attitude towards life.

There are three cups of traditional Chaozhou kungfu tea, no matter how many guests use only three cups.

The first cup of tea must be given to the first guest on the left, regardless of their status, age or gender. Every time you finish a cup of tea, wash the cup with hot tea, and then give the cup with heat to the next one. This custom is said to be a good virtue for people to show unity, friendship and mutual humility.

Generally, there are three cups of congou tea, left, middle and right, to entertain guests. The left is called master tea, the middle is called master tea or master tea, and the right is called guest tea; When the host offers tea, the guest must take the cup on the right. If the guest takes the tea first, he must borrow the tea on the host's left and move it to the tea on the guest's right before drinking. Never take the master tea in the middle. Drinking master tea when entering the museum means disrespecting the host and deliberately making trouble. Furthermore, when serving a teacup, you must not wipe the tea tray at the bottom of the cup. If you do this, a competition will come soon.
