Why does Chaozhou only use three cups of tea?
Traditional Chaoshan congou tea generally has only three cups, no matter how many guests use only three cups. The first cup of tea must be given to the first guest on the left, regardless of their status, age or gender. Every time you finish a cup of tea, wash the cup with hot tea, and then give the cup with heat to the next one. This custom is said to be a good virtue for people to show unity, friendship and mutual humility.
