The six gentlemen of the tea ceremony refer to the tea tube, teaspoon, tea strainer, tea rule, tea clip and tea needle. The usage is as follows:
1. Tea tube: used to hold tea leaves. The tea box we are talking about is one of the most common gentlemen.
2. Teaspoon: A teaspoon is a small spoon for taking tea leaves for convenience and hygiene. It is used to transfer the tea leaves from the tea container to the tea making utensil (pot or cup); it seems that everyone does not pay attention to it. Tea leaves are always grasped with hands.
3. Tea funnel: It is placed on the mouth of the pot to facilitate putting tea from the tea pot into the pot; this is basically not very useful, just like we need to use a funnel to pour gasoline into the car.
4. Tea bag: It is used to hold tea leaves and display them to tea drinkers; not to mention this, it is a device that not only holds tea leaves but also allows everyone to appreciate the appearance of the tea leaves.
5. Tea clip: It is used to hold tea cups; it is convenient and hygienic, because generally tea cups need to be disinfected with boiling water to show hygiene. It can be taken out with a tea clip, which is hygienic and good-looking.
6. Tea needle: It is a slender needle-shaped object that is used to clear the spout of the teapot when it is clogged with tea leaves, making it easier for the tea to flow out.
