Tea towel
The tea towel, also known as "tea cloth", is made of hemp, cotton and other fibers. The main function of the tea towel is to dry the pot. Before drinking tea, the tea towel can be used to wipe off the miscellaneous water left in the pot or on the bottom of the tea, or wipe off the tea dripping on the table. It also refers to small fabrics used in kitchens, restaurants, bathrooms, etc.
1. Tea towel classification
It should be placed on the table between the tea tray and the tea maker.
2. Common application of tea towel
The specifications of small fabrics used in kitchens, restaurants, washrooms, etc. are generally between 19 × 19~127 × 178 cm2 (7.5 × 7.5~50 × 70 in2). The raw materials are mainly medium coarse count cotton yarn, and some are cotton and linen blended yarn. The weave is mainly plain weave and jacquard, and some weave with coarse and fine yarns to form patterns such as lattice or geometric patterns. The finished product is thick, soft and hygroscopic. It is generally used for wiping dishes, wiping hands, protecting hands from scalding and greasy when cooking, and can also be spread on the tea table for decoration.
3. Development history of tea towel
Speaking of the special towel, the so-called "Mother Chen" was written in the novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. When it appeared, its purpose was clear, but its texture, specifications, etc. were unknown. Sometimes I like to have a whim in academic research, so I have found many interesting topics or clues. Taking "Mother Chen" as an example, I wonder if Mr. Shen Congwen has dabbled in the research of ancient costumes? Although this topic is not very elegant, it is not an unimportant thing that can be ignored. Mr. Liu Dalin, a sexologist, has a history. It is said that there is also a special museum. Maybe you will notice this detail. Tea is associated with cleanliness. When a fastidious and knowledgeable person drinks tea, there will be no dirty things on the table. The tea towel only serves to dry. What is attached to the tea towel is tea except clear water. At most, it is tea or tea dregs. So, unlike other hair towels, the tea towel will not show dirt or smell. Of course, if it is not a place for tea, such as a dinner table or a Guangdong style morning tea table, where there is food, food and wine, and the cups and plates are in disorder, you can start to taste tea. At this time, you can't just use tea towels, but you must first clean the table with a dishcloth, and then use tea towels after the tea sets are ready.
