韩国的饮茶史也有数千年的历史。公元7世纪时,饮茶之风已遍及全国,并流行于广大民间,因而韩国的茶文化也就成为韩国传统文化的一部分。
在历史上,韩国的茶文化也曾兴盛一时,源远流长。在我国的宋元时期,全面学习中国茶文化的韩国茶文化,以韩国“茶礼”为中心,普遍流传中国宋元时期的“点茶”。约在我国元代中叶后,中华茶文化进一步为韩国理解并接受,而众多“茶房”、“茶店”、茶食、茶席也更为时兴、普及。 80年代,韩国的茶文化又再度复兴、发展,并为此还专门成立了“韩国茶道大学院”,教授茶文化。
和日本一样,源于中国的韩国茶道,其宗旨是“和、敬、俭、真”。“和”,即善良之心地;“敬”,即彼此间敬重、礼遇;“俭”,即生活俭朴、清廉;“真”,即心意、心地真诚,人与人之间以诚相待。我国的近邻——韩国,历来通过“茶礼”的形成,向人们宣传、传播茶文化,并有机地引导社会大众消费茶叶。
韩国的茶礼种类繁多、各具特色。如按名茶类型区分,即有“末茶法”、“饼茶法”、“钱茶法”、“叶茶法”四种。
下面介绍韩国茶礼叶茶法:
(1)迎宾:宾客光临,主人必先至大门口恭迎,并以“欢迎光临”、“请进”、“谢谢”等语句迎宾引路。而宾客必以年龄高低、顺序随行。进茶室后,主人必立于东南向,向来宾再次表示欢迎后,坐东面西,而客人则坐西面东。
