  • Look Through the Heart Teahouse”
    ShinKanAn Teahouse – The “Look Through the Heart Teahouse” 1. Introduction: History and Name • Our Teahouse in unique on the Central Coast. It is a traditional structure, using mostly Japanese joinery instead of nails, traditional tatami mats and hand-made paper sliding doors. Additionally, it is perhaps the only traditional Japanese Teahouse between the Greater Los Angeles area and the San Francisco peninsula, and the only one in California using California natives in an intentional Japanese style. • It was originally built in Kyoto during the postwar period: a wooden plaque on the wall near the entry doors commemorates the architect and the date: 1949. The Teahouse was a gift from the President of the Nippon Oil Company to a local resident, Mr. H. Royce Greatwood, as an expression of appreciation for his assistance after the war. It was shipped in wooden boxes, each piece numbered, and reassembled in Mr. Greatwood’s Hope Ranch lemon orchard in the early 1950’s. This teahouse is evidence of the tremendous efforts that were made to renew the ties of friendship between former wartime adversaries. • The rich cultural tradition of Cha-do, The Way of Tea, graces this teahouse. In 2000, it was given the name ShinKanAn , meaning “Look Through the Heart” by the 15th Grandmaster of the Urasenke Tea school, an unusual event. • The name was generously given in honor of Heartie Anne Look, a teacher of flower arrangement and Japanese culture for many years in the Santa Barbara community. This teahouse is being used and maintained in a manner authentic to the tradition of Cha-do.

  • Afternoon Tea
    AFTERNOON TEA Afternoon Tea ~ A brief history Nobody knows the exact origins of the afternoon tea but one lady features in all theories, Anna, Seventh Duchess of Bedford (1783-1857), Lady-in-waiting to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. Traditionally, dinner was not served until 8.30 or 9.00 in the evening and the Duchess often became hungry, especially in the summer when dinner was served even later. Every afternoon, she experienced a “sinking feeling” and requested sandwiches & cakes between 3pm & 4pm in the afternoon. Soon others followed the Duchess’ lead. In 1842, a well-known actress named Fanny Kemble heard of afternoon tea, and began to invite some guests to join her. Soon all of fashionable London was sipping tea with a variety of sandwiches on the side. The custom of “taking tea” in the afternoon had become well established, along with a complex set of rules and etiquette. Afternoon tea prices are subject to change for special occasions. All prices are inclusive of VAT. A discretionary 12.5% service charge will be added to groups of 8 people or more.

  • Tea Industry
    Tea Industry Introduction The Indian tea industry is nearly 200 years old. Robert Bruce, a British national discovered tea plants growing in the upper Brahmaputra valley in Assam and adjoining areas. In 1838, Indian tea that was grown in Assam was sent to the UK for the first time, for public sale. Tea in India is grown primarily in Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Apart from this, it is also grown in small quantities in Karnataka, HP, Tripura, Uttaranchal, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Sikkim and Meghalaya. India has a dual tea base, unlike most other tea exporting countries. Both CTC and Orthodox tea is produced in India. The tea industry is agro‐based and labour intensive. It provides direct employment to over 1 million persons. Through its forward and backward linkages another 10 million persons derive their livelihood from tea. In Northeast India alone, the tea industry employs around 900,000 persons on permanent rolls. It is one of the largest employers of women amonst organized industries in India. Women constitute nearly 51% of the total workforce. The tea estates in the North Eastern India are located in industrially backward areas. Tea being the only organised industry in the private sector in this region, people outside the tea estates have high expectations from the industry. The three most distinct known varieties of tea in India are: a) Assam tea (grown in Assam and other parts of NE India) b) Darjeeling tea (grown in Darjeeling and other parts of West Bengal) c) Nilgiri tea (grown in the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu) Objective Through this dissertation project, I intend to study, with respect to the CIS nations and the United Kingdom that serve as the foremost export markets, the Indian tea industry in detail, the trends observed in the past, the highs and lows of export volumes to these countries and the reasons behind them, as well as future prospects on where Indian would stand in the global arena.

Socio-cultural history of tea had not been well-studied field in the Soviet historiography, but in the recent years, some of historians work on this theme because of the diversification of subjects in the Russian historiography. The paper provides an overview of early encounters of tea in Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, comparing with other beverages that were drunk at that time. The paper sheds light on the two supply routes of tea to Russia, one from Mongolia and China, and the other from Europe. Drinking of brick tea did not become a custom in the 18th century, but tea consumption had bloomed since 19th century, rapidly increasing the import of tea. The main part of the paper clarifies how Russian- Chines trade at Khakhta had been interrelated to the consumption of tea in Russia. Finally, the paper shows how the Russian tea culture formation followed a different path from that of the tea culture of Europe.

  • Rishi Tea Debuts Organic & Fair Trade Certifiedtm Tea Bags, Featuring
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Rishi Tea debuts Organic & Fair Trade CertifiedTM Tea Bags, Featuring the Latest Innovation in Specialty Tea 2012 NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION SHOW Milwaukee, Wisconsin April 13, 2012: Rishi Tea (www.rishi-tea.com), leading international purveyor of organic and Fair Trade CertifiedTM loose-leaf teas, introduces its first line of specialty tea bags. Rishi Tea is first to market with an innovative knit-mesh filter bag that imparts a level of flavor, aroma and body, which standard paper or silky tea bags cannot match. Debuting at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, Rishi Teaʼs organic tea bags highlight the latest innovation in the tea industry with aims to elevate the quality of the tea bag market. “Weʼre excited to introduce tea lovers to the fullest flavors and most aromatic, vivid infusions theyʼve ever experienced from a tea bag. Rishi Tea offers a new filter mesh material from plant based resources that yields a far greater extraction ratio and infusion quality than any other tea bag. Paper and even fine mesh silky bag materials are too tightly woven and act as a barrier to the tealeavesʼ infusion. We found a looser weave was needed to improve the overall tea bag experience in restaurants and foodservice at a cost per bag that meets or beats the current silky tea bag brands.” Says Joshua Kaiser, Founder and President, Rishi Tea. Available now, for Restaurants, Hotels and Food Service, 10 organic tea bags flavors: Jade Cloud Green Tea, Jasmine Green Tea, Earl Grey, Pu-erh Ginger, Blueberry Rooibos, Peppermint Rooibos, Chamomile Medley, Tropical Hibiscus & Turmeric Lemon Each organic tea bag is individually sealed in a tastefully designed, printed overwrap that maintains optimum freshness.

  • “The China of Santa Cruz”: the Culture of Tea in Maria Graham's
    “The China of Santa Cruz”: The Culture of Tea in Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (Article) NICOLLE JORDAN University of Southern Mississippi he notion of Brazilian tea may sound like something of an anomaly—or impossibility—given the predominance of Brazilian coffee in our cultural T imagination. We may be surprised, then, to learn that King João VI of Portugal and Brazil (1767–1826) pursued a project for the importation, acclimatization, and planting of tea from China in his royal botanic garden in Rio de Janeiro. A curious episode in the annals of colonial botany, the cultivation of a tea plantation in Rio has a short but significant history, especially when read through the lens of Maria Graham’s Journal of a Voyage to Brazil (1824). Graham’s descriptions of the tea garden in this text are brief, but they amplify her thorough-going enthusiasm for the biodiversity and botanical innovation she encountered— and contributed to—in South America. Such enthusiasm for the imperial tea garden echoes Graham’s support for Brazilian independence, and indeed, bolsters it. In 1821 Graham came to Brazil aboard HMS Doris, captained by her husband Thomas, who was charged with protecting Britain’s considerable mercantile interests in the region. As a British naval captain’s wife, she was obliged to uphold Britain’s official policy of strict neutrality. Despite these circumstances, her Journal conveys a pro-independence stance that is legible in her frequent rhapsodies over Brazil’s stunning flora and fauna. By situating Rio’s tea plantation within the global context of imperial botany, we may appreciate Graham’s testimony to a practice of transnational plant exchange that effectively makes her an agent of empire even in a locale where Britain had no territorial aspirations.

In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

  • Still Life: Tea Set
    Language through Art: An ESL Enrichment Curriculum (Beginning) Information for Teaching Still Life: Tea Set Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) About 1781–83 Oil on canvas mounted on board 14 7/8 x 20 5/16 in. 84.PA.57 Background Information Chinese porcelain and tea drinking were popular in Europe when Jean-Étienne Liotard was born. In this painting of teatime disarray, a tray is set with a teapot, lidded vase (perhaps containing an extra supply of tea leaves), plate of bread and butter, sugar bowl with tongs, milk jug, and six cups, saucers, and spoons. A large bowl holding a teacup and saucer could also be used for dumping the slops of cold tea and used tea leaves. By the time Liotard painted this work in the late 1700s, tea drinking had become fashionable among the middle class as well as the upper class. This is one of five known depictions of china tea sets that he created around 1783. About the Artist Jean-Étienne Liotard (Swiss, 1702–89) Liotard first trained as a painter in Geneva. While in his twenties, he sought his fortune in Paris, where he studied in a prominent painter's studio. Later he traveled to Italy and throughout the Mediterranean region and finally settled in Constantinople for four years. Intrigued by the native dress, he grew a long beard and acquired the habit of dressing as a Turk, earning himself the nickname "the Turkish painter." While in Constantinople, he painted portraits of members of the British colony. For the remainder of his life, Liotard traveled throughout Europe painting portraits in pastels.

  • Growing an Herbal Tea Garden
    Growing an Herbal Tea Garden By Lynn Heagney March 1, 2019 Teas if you please Growing an herbal tea garden is fun and rewarding. It involves selecting the site for your garden, deciding which herbs you’d like to grow, choosing a design, then planting, harvesting, and using the herbs you’ve grown in delicious teas. When you’re finished, not only will you have a wonderful source for all of your favorite teas, but you’ll also have a place that attracts butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Your first major decision is deciding where you’d like to locate your garden. Be sure to pick a site that has lots of sun, at least 4-6 hours per day because most herbs like sunny locations. Also, pick an area that drains well. Only mint likes “wet feet;” the rest prefer drier areas. If your only option is a damp area, you might consider planting your herbs in a raised bed, or in containers. It’s also nice if you can find a site that’s relatively close to your house so you can have fast and easy access to fresh herbs. Now you’re ready to choose which herbs you’d like to include in your garden. You can decide to establish a site exclusively for herbs used only in teas, or you can combine those with culinary herbs. You can also mix both types of herbs with a variety of flowers. If you’d like see how these combinations might work, plan a visit to the Discovery Gardens in Mount Vernon, where the Herb Garden and Cottage Garden provide inspiring examples of these strategies.
