I'm very interested in the Chinese tea ceremony. Unfortunately, most information is about the Japanes tea ceremony, not the Chinese.
When in China, I practiced the tea ceremony. When they pour the tea, they hiss the tea pot three times, as this represents 'the flight of the three phoenix'.
Also, I was explained to hold the cup with three fingers, as this represents the 'three dragons'.
Does anyone know more about the Chinese tea ceremony and what these dragons and phoenix are about?
Thanx.
