Is this tea for drinking or cleaning?
I watched some videos showing that the tea and cup at the table are sometimes for washing your chopsticks and bowls. How do I know when that's the case?
Context is key. If it's a small, informal teahouse or a street vendor setting, and the tea looks weak and is in a somewhat battered, communal container, it's probably rinse water. Formal restaurants and tea ceremonies? Definitely drinking tea. Look for separate rinsing bowls or containers if you're unsure – they’re pretty common in places that use this practice.

Look for places that are busy with students and locals – long queues are a good sign! Ignore the menus with pictures; those are usually for tourists. Just point and hope for the best! You'll probably stumble upon some hidden treasures that way.
