The ancient Chinese tea ceremony (茶道) is a practice of preparing, serving and enjoying tea. It might start in the Tang Dynasty or even earlier and it reached its greatest time in the Song Dynasty. The traditional Chinese tea ceremony is usually held in important situations to welcome guests.
Main steps:
Prepare a tea set. To hold a Chinese tea ceremony, a full tea set is needed, including a teapot, a serving bowl, cups, plates, etc.
Heat the tea set. This step can help tea fully give off its nice smell.
Put tea leaves into the teapot. Use the teaspoon, not the hand, to place some tea leaves into the teapot.
Wash tea leaves. Pour some hot water into the teapot and keep it for a few seconds, and then pour out the water quickly.
Brew tea. Refill the teapot with hot water of a proper temperature, cover it and wait for a few minutes to keep the pleasant smell of the tea soup.
