Tibetans often use butter tea to entertain guests. They drink butter tea and have a set of rules. When the guest was asked to sit at the Tibetan square table, the host took a wooden bowl (or teacup) and put it in front of the guest. Then the host (or housewife) lifts the butter tea pot (which is usually replaced by a thermos bottle now), shakes it a few times and pours a full bowl of butter tea for the guests.

Just fallen buttered tea, guests don't drink it right away, talk to the host first. When the host once again mentioned that the butter tea pot stood in front of the guests, the guests could pick up the bowl, first gently blow it in the butter bowl to blow away the oil flowers floating on the tea, then sip it and praise: "This butter tea is really good, and oil and tea are inseparable."

The guest put the bowl back on the table and the host refilled it. That's it. Add it while drinking. Enthusiastic hosts always fill their guests' tea bowls. If you don't want to drink any more, don't touch it If you drink half of it and don't want to drink any more, the host fills the bowl and you put it there. When guests are ready to leave, they can drink a few more mouthfuls, but they can't drink them dry. Leave some tea bottoms in the bowl, which is in line with Tibetan habits and manners.
