First, elders, parents, guests and recipients, then the younger generation and owners. When the guest finishes drinking tea, the host will add tea soon, unless the guest covers the bowl with his hand to show that he can't drink any more. When the guests leave, they can't drink all the tea in the tea bowl to show their respect for the host.
