Scope

This standard applies to the identification of tea ceremony literacy levels for children aged 5 and above and adolescents under 18. The main technical content of the "Identification Standards for Tea Ceremony Literacy Levels for Children and Adolescents" (T/HCPA 019-2025) can be summarized into the following four points: I. Level Stratification and Progressive Abilities A five-level system: Level I/Beginner to Level V/Advanced, with gradual improvement. Ability coverage: Beginner (Levels I and II): Basic knowledge of green tea/black tea, teaware recognition, etiquette norms, and brewing with glass cups/covered cups. Intermediate (Levels III and IV): Knowledge of dark tea/white tea, tea rituals and etiquette, brewing with Zisha pots, and the ritual of pouring tea. Advanced (Level V): Full process of yellow tea/green tea, Tea Hundred Opera, the Three-Tea Pouring Method, tea-dueling practice, and intangible cultural heritage inheritance. II. Quantitative Assessment Standards Class hours requirements: Each level requires completing 24 to 120 hours of classes (1 hour = 20 to 40 minutes), with a cumulative total of 120 hours for the Advanced level. Age restrictions: Level I: ≥5 years old, Level V: ≥9 years old, and each level requires holding the certificate of the previous level for half a year to one year. Assessment methods: Theoretical examination (60% of the score) + practical assessment (40% of the score), with a double pass system. The practical assessment time increases gradually from level to level (Level I ≤ 10 minutes, Advanced ≤ 30 minutes). III. Special Application Mechanisms Direct certificate promotion: Holders of recognized certificates can apply for a level higher than their current one. Competition exemption: Winners of gold awards can skip two levels (e.g., directly advance from Level III to Level V). Mixed evaluation: Permission to apply for "original level + skipping levels" simultaneously. IV. Teacher and Venue Standards Teacher qualifications: H
