Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony

Chinese Wedding Tea ceremony is performed during a Chinese wedding. Any sweet tea, symbolizing sweetness in the new union, is good for the chinese wedding tea ceremony. You can use sweetened red tea for simplicity sake, but some traditional chinese sweet teas are preferred for the good connotations in their names.

The Chinese wedding tea set used for the tea ceremony is kept as a wedding present. The bride's parents will pay for the tea set which is a part of the dowry. The Chinese tea set is a meaningful keepsake for the couple.

See the sweet look on their face drinking the tea. Well they play some games by using a big bowl to serve the tea. My mum is so great and able to finish up one bowl :-)
