  • guys...she's not performing any tea ceremony... She is simply making tea in the quickest way for consumption....

  • there are ones that involve traditional teapots for pouring, washing of cups and pots and to hold the smell of the tea, a lot of what a traditional tea ceremony is about is the fluidity, the calming effect and the art in doing and watching it. The tweezers or tongs, are as far as I know, for ease of pouring out the water or tea in the cups, and to keep hands clean. I recommend two videos "Making Tea in Beijing" and "Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony" to see the difference of speed and control.

  • @lightfootbeddisroad Nope. This is no "ceremony." And the taste and smell of the tea is an integral part of the Ceremony. This woman isn't even wearing a hanfu. She's making all sorts of ungodly noises with the instruments. It's simply a video of a tea preparation, not a ceremony. There is a video of an attempted reconstruction of a tea ceremony (not really specific to the dynastic period nor the school of tea though, but still, it's at least an attempt): /watch?v=b6GvXtrvUbc

  • mmm... very good your video!

  • @teralogic BZZT! Wrong answer, that is the ceremony. Read my comment below.

  • @dianasaur21 It's not about the ceremony, it's about the taste and smell of the tea.

  • you're really an ass, assman.

    very smart of you to know that. :)

  • Duh, the first brew is dirty, most people never drink the first brew; that's why it's used to warm the teapot and cups..to also bring out the aroma of the tea.

  • just so you know, I was responding to dianasaur21 not you, and while she may be an amateur, this is the way that some government run shops do some of their demos. All in all the point of this video is to view a part of a culture that may be different from your own.

  • She is nothing more than an amateur sales assistant trying to make a quick buck from tourists......

    I am more than aware of of the water pouring to cleanse the cups and preparing them to receive the tea.

  • do you have no respect for other peoples culture
