Even teabags will taste better when consumed from fine bone china.
如果用精美的骨瓷杯享用,就連茶包喝起來都會更加美味的呢。
We use our thumb and our forefinger to pince in between the handle and our middle finger supports.
舉茶杯需要使用三根手指,均勻地分配拇指、食指和中指的力量:
When we're stirring our tea, we don't go round, and round, and round, and round, created a whirlpool. We go back and forth, back and forth.
當我們攪拌茶的時候,不要一圈一圈來回打轉攪拌,弄出一個大漩渦,我們要以前后方向攪拌。
When we have drips on the teaspoon that we want to shake it out, we don't hit it on the side. That is some juvenile orchestra. We simply flick and replace at the back of the teacup.
當茶匙上有多余的茶水,我們不會在茶杯邊緣這樣敲打它,感覺像是很稚嫩的交響樂一樣。我們只需要簡單地輕彈一下,然后把它放在茶杯后面。
When we're drinking from our teacup, we look into the cup, not over it.
當我們端起茶杯喝茶的時候,要看向茶杯里面,而不是茶杯上方。
Take it and place it on your lap, with the crease folded towards you.
拿起餐巾,將它展開平鋪于雙腿,折痕朝向自己。
Always loose leaf tea please. So you'll need to use a tea strainer.
吃下午茶一定要用散裝茶葉。因此,你會需要一個濾茶器。
You eat the sandwiches with your fingers, not with a knife and fork.
直接用手指拿起三明治食用,無需使用刀叉。
When you have finished, make sure you dab your month, not wipe.
當你享用完時,你應該輕拍嘴唇,而不能直接擦拭。
If they're adding sugar to coffee, it should be a brown sugar, because it's molasses sugar. As in coffee, a molasses sugar goes a lot better.
如果你想向咖啡里加糖,最好加黃糖,黃糖屬于蔗糖,會使咖啡的味道變得更好。
If you were serving milk, I'd like to serve refreshed frothed milk.
如果你想向咖啡里加牛奶,我更推薦加入剛打完的奶泡。
Not some of that instant mud, you might serve a tradesman or one of your friends you don't like.
當然不用那種速溶垃圾啦,那種咖啡只能用來招待上門的推銷員和你最討厭的“朋友”。
