Tea houses not only sold exquisite teas from specially designated mountains, they also spread "tea culture." That is to say, besides selling tea, they also taught customers the rudiments of the "Way of Tea." They not only emphasized the refined understanding of tea leaves, water temperature and tea utensils, they also emphasized proper posture and forms.
茶藝館不僅賣空間，以及從特定茶山找來的精緻好茶，還傳播「茶藝」，也就是說，賣茶之外，還教客人怎樣泡好一道茶，除講究茶葉知識、水溫、泡茶器皿外，還要注重泡茶儀態。
