品茶 (pǐn chá) — to sample tea (savoring its flavor and aroma); to engage in tea tasting (as a cultural practice)
Definition
品茶 is the leisurely, mindful practice of savoring tea — its aroma, flavor, and texture — not just drinking it. Distinct from 喝茶 (everyday 'drink tea'): 品 emphasizes slow, appreciative tasting, often as a cultural or aesthetic activity.
