Introduction To The Tea Pot
Buddhism played an essential role in developing the tea culture of the Central Plains. The Tibetans, who believe in Buddhism, attach importance to tea ceremonies during Buddhist activities. They often connect tea with God. When praying to temple deities, they take medicine, holy water, and tea. For Tibetans, tea implies friendship, respect, purity, and auspiciousness. Tibetans use tea in polite formalities and customs, such as weddings, childbirth, funerals, and religious rites.
