Qinghai is located in the plateau desert, with dry and cold climate and lack of vegetables. It mainly eats beef, mutton and dairy products. Tea contains a lot of vitamins and polyphenols, which can not only supplement the deficiency of vegetables, but also help to remove oil and greasy, and help to reduce the proportion. Therefore, tea has been the main necessity of life since ancient times.

There are many ways to drink tea, among which scraping a bowl of tea is the representative. A tea set for scraping a bowl of tea is commonly known as a "three-piece set". It consists of a tea bowl, a bowl cover, a bowl holder or a bowl plate. The tea bowl holds tea, the lid of the bowl keeps fragrant, and the bowl holder prevents scalding. When drinking tea, you should hold the lid in one hand and the Ti Tuo in the other, and scrape it from the inside out with the lid, so as to remove the foam floating on the surface of the tea soup, and make the tea taste blend with the added food, hence the name of scraping a bowl of tea.

The tea used for scraping bowls is mostly ordinary fried green tea. When making tea, there are not only tea leaves in the bowl, but also rock sugar and various dried fruits, such as dried apples, raisins, dried persimmons, dried peaches, red dates, dried longan and medlar. Some even add white chrysanthemums and sesame seeds, usually as many as eight kinds, so some people call it "eight-treasure tea". Because there are many kinds of food in scraping bowl tea, the leaching speed of various components in tea soup is different, and the taste is different after drinking water every time. Generally speaking, scraping a bowl of tea is brewed with boiling water, then covered and drunk after 5 minutes. The first bubble is mainly the taste of tea, mainly the fragrance and sweetness; The second bubble has a sweet and fragrant feeling because of the role of sugar; At the beginning of the third bubble, the taste of tea began to fade, and the taste of various dried fruits came into being, depending on the dried fruits added. Generally speaking, a cup of scraped tea can be brewed 5-6 times or more.

It is a kind of sweet health tea, which tastes different every time. It can also quench thirst, nourish and strengthen the body.
