Chinese tea ceremonies
Chinese tea ceremonies are traditional practices that emphasize the art of brewing and serving tea. These ceremonies often involve specific rituals, including the selection of high-quality tea leaves, precise water temperature, and careful steeping times. The process is designed to enhance the flavors and aromas of the tea, creating a mindful experience for participants.
During a tea ceremony, various types of tea, such as green tea, oolong tea, or pu-erh tea, may be used. The ceremony can also include the use of special utensils, like teapots and tea cups, and may be accompanied by traditional music or snacks, fostering a sense of harmony and appreciation for the moment.
