1。 Introduction 

Tea is closely related to culture, to a certain extent, serving as a mirror that reflects a kind of unique culture。 As a unique carrier of culture, tea has become a vital instrument in cross-culture communication。 In addition, tea culture is subordinate to culture, and influenced by culture。 Tea is not only a kind of beverage or a health product, but also a kind of cultural icon。 

Till now, a great deal of research has been done by scholars at home and abroad, involving too many aspects, such as, religion，literature，economic development, social function and so forth。

This paper centers on the aspect of the ways of drinking tea。 Drinking tea brings us relaxation and spiritual enjoyment。 As Zhou Zuoren said that the essence of teasim, in simple words, can be said as a way of getting a little leisure from the rush of business in order to enjoy a bit of beauty and harmony in the imperfect reality and find spiritual eternity in the twinkling of an eye。 The ways of drinking tea also demonstrate people’s disposition and nation’s culture。

If we don’t understand the difference in the ways of Chinese and western drinking tea, we will have tremendous trouble in the spread of tea, and feel difficult in cross-culture communication。 Therefore, understanding perse and unique ways of drinking tea helps us catch on to the differences in culture between the East and the West。

     Many scholars have researched differences in the practice of Chinese and western drinking tea。 B。 Gorelik said that tea is consumed primarily as food items but partly as traditional medicines。 (Gorelik &Wyk 10) Hans Naumann，a Germanic scholar, points out that the development of tea customs can be summed up as the theory of the rules of cultural products, that is to say, groups in low social position will follow the behavior of those in high social status in all aspects。 (Hirschfelder 121-123)
