正しいお茶の注文方法、基本的な茶道のマナー、地域の銘茶ガイド。緑茶、ウーロン茶、プーアル茶の違いを知っていれば、どんな茶館でも自信を持って対応できます。
Tea is woven into Chinese daily life and hospitality. From casual tea houses to formal tea ceremonies, understanding the basics — how to order, how to accept tea, what different teas mean — will enrich your travel experience. China produces every major category of tea: green, white, yellow, oolong, black (red), and pu'er. Knowing even a little about tea earns genuine respect from locals.
Tea ceremony etiquette matters most at formal tea houses, business meetings over tea, and when visiting tea-producing regions where hosts take special pride in their tea. In casual settings — bubble tea shops, casual restaurants — no special etiquette is needed.
