Description

Tea tasting set

This creation is related to the culture of tea drinking, especially to a set of tea drinking utensils.

"Tea as a drink originated from Shennong, became famous during the reign of Duke Zhou of Lu, flourished during the Tang Dynasty, prospered during the Song Dynasty, and developed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties." Tea culture has long been popular in Asia and has penetrated into daily life. In daily life, when guests come, the host often makes tea to entertain them. The act of drinking tea can also be called tea tasting. Usually, the host makes tea and serves it to the guests one by one to show enthusiasm and welcome.

However, in recent years, highly contagious germs have been prevalent, such as the new coronavirus. The government and medical professionals now emphasize reducing close distances and close contact between people to avoid becoming a medium for virus transmission. Therefore, the traditional way of drinking tea mentioned above is no longer appropriate. Guests will worry about whether the host has germs, and the host will also worry about whether the guest's cup will be attached with germs when it touches the guest's cup during the process of pouring tea, which invisibly increases the gap between people.

In ancient times, Asians had a saying that "the sky is round like a canopy, and the earth is like a chessboard." They believed that the sky was like an upside-down bowl covering the flat earth, and the earth was square like a chessboard. In the Zhoubi Suanjing, there is also a mention of "square belongs to the earth, circle belongs to the sky, the sky is round and the earth is square." In addition, in various practical material life, behavior, or spiritual levels, there are many tools or theories with circles as the prototype. Just like the universe is all-encompassing, all things in the universe come from the void and return to the void, and so on, it forms a circle. The "round universe" developed mainly with the circle as the main body has penetrated into the body, mind, spirit and environment of Asians, and has great significance. How to integrate tea tasting with the "round universe" to solve the above isolation problem is the direction to be solved in this case.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a tea tasting utensil set. The curved structure helps to avoid the edge of the container when scooping deeply, and can smoothly drive the spoon cup to rotate and scoop up the tea.

To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the invention provides a tea utensil set, including: a personal tea spoon. The personal tea spoon includes a spoon cup and a rod body, the rod body includes a curved section and a gripping section, and two ends of the curved section are respectively connected to the gripping section and the spoon cup.

The following is merely an example to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but it is not intended to limit the scope of protection for the present invention. The "one" or "at least one" preceding the terms mentioned in the text does not limit the quantity, and it can also be "plural" according to needs. This change in quantity is also within the scope of protection, which should be stated in advance.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, which show an embodiment of the present invention. The tea tasting method of the present invention includes the following steps: providing a public container 1 for holding tea; providing a plurality of individual tea tasting sets 2, which are allocated to a plurality of tea drinkers 5 for individual use, so as to fully take into account personal hygiene and effectively prevent the infection route caused by multiple people touching and causing bacteria to attach, wherein each individual tea tasting set 2 includes a personal tea spoon 21 and a personal tea cup 24. A tea scooping step, in which each tea drinker 5 scoops tea from the public container 1 into the personal tea cup 24 allocated to the tea spoon 21. A tea tasting step, in which the tea drinker 5 drinks the tea in the personal tea cup 24.

Through the tea drinking method of the present invention, during the scooping process, each tea drinker 5 only contacts the public container 1 through the personal tea spoon 21, which can ensure that the public container 1 will not be contaminated; and each tea drinker 5 can scoop an appropriate amount according to his or her own needs. For example, when the tea drinker is satisfied with the taste of the tea provided by the host, he or she can scoop it multiple times by himself or herself without the host's service, and there will be no embarrassment of asking the host for tea as in the traditional way; and when the tea does not suit his or her own taste, he or she can stop scooping tea from the public container 1 again, and there will be no embarrassing situation of refusing the host to directly refill the tea into the personal tea cup 24 at regular intervals as in the traditional way. At the same time, this behavior can kindly and implicitly inform the host to understand the tea drinkers 5's preferences for tea. When the host receives this kind message, the host will no longer force the tea drinkers 5 to drink, and the host will no longer over-brew tea or replenish too much tea, which can avoid the waste of resources such as tea and tea leaves and save costs. In this way, the host can fulfill its role as a host and show friendliness and enthusiasm, and the tea drinkers 5 can use it at will without distinction between master and servant, without worrying about displeasing the host due to inappropriate behavior. As a result, the host and the tea drinkers 5 can get along naturally and harmoniously to form a good cycle, making the interaction between people perfect and smooth.

One of the concepts and spirits of "round universe" is the cycle of goodness, which can calm people's minds and make it easier for them to enter a meditative spiritual world to enhance their inner self. When applied to people, things and events in daily life, it is about seeking perfection. Therefore, the tea tasting method of this creation not only enhances epidemic prevention safety, but also conforms to the concept of "round universe", taking into account the etiquette of human relationships and interactions. Whether it is the host or the tea drinker, they can all get along comfortably, interact harmoniously, and achieve perfection in things, thereby making the body, mind and spirit complete.

Preferably, the plurality of tea drinkers 5 are arranged at intervals with the common container 1 as the center, so that each of the tea drinkers 5 is spaced at both sides and keeps a certain distance from each other in the circumferential direction without generating a sense of distance, thereby effectively preventing the infection of germs caused by saliva splashing, strengthening the intensity of epidemic prevention, and having a strong epidemic prevention function.

Another preferred embodiment of the tea drinking method is to provide a table 3, wherein the plurality of tea drinkers 5 are seated in a "separated arrangement" in the circumferential direction of the table 3, so that each tea drinker 5 can sit comfortably to drink tea or chat; wherein the table 3 is a round table, and the tea drinkers 5 sit around the circle to symbolize roundness, fullness, harmony, and the distances from each tea drinker 5 to the center of the table 3 are the same to symbolize equality, and even more so, the table 3 is like a The public container 1 is placed at the center of the table 3, which is like the center of the universe. The multiple tea drinkers 5 are all sitting facing the center of the circle, which shows that everyone is full of centripetal force. The radius distance between the multiple tea drinkers 5 and the public container 1 (the center of the universe) is equal, which shows that everyone has equal status. Taking the "circular universe" as the prototype, the concept of equality for all and the sharing of tea lovers are further extended and embodied in the tea narrative.

Here, the invention further provides a tea tasting utensil set, including: the personal tea spoon 21. The personal tea spoon 21 includes a spoon cup 22 and a rod 23, the rod 23 includes a curved section 231 and a gripping section 232, the two ends of the curved section 231 are respectively connected to the gripping section 232 and the spoon cup 22, the structure of the curved section 231 helps to avoid the edge of the container when scooping deeply, and can smoothly drive the spoon cup 22 to rotate and pick up tea.

Preferably, the curved section 231 is flexible so that each tea drinker 5 can adjust the curved shape to an angle or arc that he or she finds appropriate. The rounded portion of the curved section 231 is ergonomically designed for holding. When each tea drinker 5 holds the curved section 231, the hand can naturally become one with the personal tea spoon 21, and when scooping tea, the tea drinker 5 can move his or her hands and feet more easily.

Specifically, the spoon cup 22 surrounds a cup chamber 221 and is provided with a through hole 222, the through hole 222 is connected to the cup chamber 221, the rod 23 is inserted into the through hole 222 and connected to the spoon cup 22 via an adhesive 4, and the plug-in connection method facilitates rapid assembly production and convenient replacement of local components.

Specifically, the bottom of the spoon cup 22 is provided with a groove 223 to reduce the weight of the spoon cup 22, and the wall of the spoon cup 22 is gradually thickened from the cup mouth toward the cup bottom, so that the center of gravity of the spoon cup 22 is located lower, which is convenient for operation and more stable when placed.

In this embodiment, the spoon cup 22 is made of bamboo, which has the advantages of good heat insulation, high hardness, light weight, good antibacterial property, and good moisture discharge, and is very suitable for scooping tea; and the rod body 23 is made of rattan, which has the advantages of strong toughness, lightness, flexibility, elasticity, easy cleaning, and not easy to mold. After being combined with the bamboo spoon cup 22, it can not only have the above-mentioned many functions, but also create an atmosphere of tea tasting. In addition, the spoon cup 22 and the rod body 23 are made of bamboo and rattan grown in nature, with the concept of taking from nature, using nature, and finally returning to nature. Nature gives birth to bamboo and rattan again, and such an endless cycle is also the concept of "round universe".

The tea tasting utensil set further comprises the common container 1, which is used to hold tea for the personal tea spoon 21 to scoop. The opening area of the common container 1 is preferably at least three times the cup opening area of the spoon cup 22 to facilitate scooping and heat dissipation.

The tea tasting utensil set further comprises the personal teacup 24, the capacity of which is not less than that of the spoon cup 22, so as to ensure that there is no residual tea in the spoon cup 22 each time the tea is scooped, thereby avoiding the undesirable behavior of pouring the tea back into the public container 1.
