    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

    Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Introduction to the Project This book presents a catalogue of the Islamic funerary inscriptions of Bahrain dat- ing to before 1317 AH/1900 AD (all dates are specified as either AH or AD. Where both dates are cited these are in the format AH/AD). It results from fieldwork completed between 2013 and 2015 undertaken in co-operation with the Bahraini Shiʿa Jaffaria Waqf and the Sunni Waqf authorities who provided information on the locations of relevant gravestones, personnel to participate in the recording, and ethical clear- ance and research authorisation (along with the Directorate of Archaeology and Heritage of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities). 150 gravestones were recorded in 26 locations: in 23 cemeteries, mosques, and shrines (136 gravestones), two museums (13 gravestones), and one private house (1 gravestone) (Table 1.1; Figure 1.1). Of these, 38 gravestones were exposed through archaeological excava- tion and 106 have inscriptions.

  • Q Products: a CUP of TEA ANYONE? Aussiesencha Tea Australia’S Only Locally-Grown & Certified Organic Greem Sencha Tea Blends
    q products: A CUP OF TEA ANYONE? AussieSencha Tea Australia’s only locally-grown & certified organic greem sencha tea blends Asian cultures have been drinking green tea for more than 2000 years and it is now well known that green tea improves cardiovascular health, reduces the risk of cancer and is a natural aid in weight loss regimes. Green tea, as with oolong and black tea comes from the same plant species, camellia sinensis, but green tea is steamed and fired straight after harvesting to stop the fermentation process, the oxidation of the leaf which gives oolong and black tea their distinct colour and flavour. This treatment of green tea therefore allows for better retention of more nutrients and a higher yield of antioxidants than fermented teas. Since the development of green tea production in Victoria in 1994, there are five growers of which one is certified organic. Harvested in Victoria’s high country and processed in Australia’s only green tea processing plant in Wangaratta, Yarra Valley Tea Co. is the largest buyer of locally grown organic green tea in Australia. It is used exclusively for their unique green tea blends, Uncle Vic & Aunt Myrtle. UNCLE VIC: Packed full of antioxidants and restorative properties, Uncle vic pays homage to the traditional Japanese sencha tea with its vibrant green hue, cleaning aromatic taste and sweet tongue glosses. Benefits: Weight Loss - The polyphenols found in green teas work to increase our metabolism by burning more kilojoules throughout the day and increasing the body’s ability to burn fat. Boosts Energy - The rich blend of vitamins, minerals, caffeine, and antioxidants found in this green tea variety, along with an ample amount of caffeine, make it very effective as an energy-booster.

    Submitted on: June 1, 2013 Museum library and intercultural networking : the library of the Musée national des arts asiatiques Guimet (National Museum of Asian Arts, Paris, France) Cristina Cramerotti Library and archives department, Musée national des arts asiatiques Guimet, Paris, France [email protected] Copyright © 2013 by Cristina Cramerotti. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Abstract: The Library and archives department of the musée Guimet possess a wide array of collections: besides books and periodicals, it houses manuscripts, scientific archives – both public and privates, photographic archives and sound archives. From the beginning in 1889, the library is at the core of research and communications with scholars, museums, and various cultural institutions all around the world, especially China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. We exchange exhibition catalogues and publications dealing with the museum collections, engage in joint editions of its most valuable manuscripts (with China), bilingual editions of historical documents (French and Japanese) and joint databases of photographs (with Japan). Every exhibition, edition or database project requires the cooperation of the two parties, a curator of musée Guimet and a counterpart from the institution we deal with. The exchange is twofold and mutually enriching. Since some years we are engaged in various national databases in order to highlight our collection: a collective library catalogue, the French photographic platform Arago, and of course Joconde, central database maintained by the Ministry of culture which documents the collections of the main French museums. Other databases are available on our website in cooperation with Réunion des musées nationaux, a virtual exposition on early Meiji Japan, and a database of Chinese ceramics.

With 100 rooms and suites, two restaurants including the only Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant in France, one bar and four historic events and reception rooms, guests may look forward to a princely stay in a historic retreat. A Refined Setting in the Heart of Paris’ Most Chic and Discreet Neighbourhood Passing through the original iron gates, guests arrive in a small, protected courtyard under the restored glass porte cochere. Two Ming Dynasty inspired vases flank the entryway and set the tone from the outset for Asia-meets-Paris elegance. To the right, visitors take a step back in time to 1896 as they enter the historic billiard room with a fireplace, fumoir and waiting room. Bathed in natural light, the hotel lobby features high ceilings and refurbished marble. Its thoughtfully placed alcoves offer discreet nooks for guests to consult with Shangri-La personnel. Imperial insignias and ornate monograms of Prince Roland Bonaparte, subtly integrated into the Page 2 architecture, are complemented with Asian influence in the decor and ambience of the hotel and its restaurants, bar and salons.
