Receiving toasts of wine and tea
By MLTR | 8/25/2004 2:14:55 PM

When you visit a Tibetan family, the host will propose a toast, usually of barley wine. Before you drink, Tibetans like to stick their finger in the wine and give a drop to Heaven, Earth, and their ancestors (three drops total). This is done by flicking your finger and letting a drop fall from your finger to the earth three times. At last, the guest would drink up the whole cup.

When given tea, you should wait for directions from your host to drink.
