2019 Smallholder Select Catalog TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Welcome 8 White Teas 4 Why Smallholder? 8 Wulong Teas 5 Black Teas 9 Product Sheet 6 Green Teas 11 Guiding Thoughts 7 Dark (Pu’er) Teas Firsd Tea North America | 1099 Wall Street W Suite 390 | Lyndhurst NJ 07071 | (201) 528.7916 Firsd Tea is proud to offer this collection of premium teas from our smallholder partners. Smallholder farms promote economic development and environmental protection that benefit the smallholder families, their communities, and the Earth. Smallholder farms create many benefits for you and your customers to enjoy. These are family run, small plots rather than big plantations. Smallholder farms build community. The majority of the money that smallholder farmers earn goes directly back into their local economies. These farmers have often held these family lands for generations. Caring for and making good use of smallholder lands is important because many of these smallholder families have their homes among the fields. Small holders bring their harvests to a primary processing facility. It is these centrally located facilities that combine the crops from multiple small gardens to process a quality, consistent tea product. We hope you enjoy these quality smallholder teas, and share the values of what smallholder farms bring to local communities and to protecting the planet. Thank you for choosing Firsd Tea to be your tea partner, Shengyuan Chen Executive Director Firsd Tea North America | 1099 Wall Street W Suite 390 | Lyndhurst NJ 07071 | (201) 528.7916 WHY SMALLHOLDER? Successful, well-managed smallholder projects build communities and local economies, and further the goals of the UN Development Programme in several ways: China smallholder projects support economic growth that aims to eliminate poverty through the creation of sustainable jobs and retirement/pension programs. China smallholder projects use tea agriculture to generate decent incomes, while supporting people-centered rural development and protecting the environment. China smallholder projects create economic growth through the development of the agricultural industry while not harming the local environment. The program creates increased job opportunities and develops the local agriculture infrastructure to decrease poverty and reduce unemployment. China smallholder projects create investments in infrastructure – transport, irrigation, and other are crucial to achieving sustainable development and empowering communities. It has long been recognized that growth in productivity and incomes, and improvements in health and education outcomes require investment in infrastructure.

    Aan Zusterstad Yuhang District of Hangzhou Ghina

    Bezoek gemeente Weert aan zusterstad Yuhang district of Hangzhou Ghina 24 tlm 27 oktober 2018l t lnleiding De stad Weert onderhoudt sinds 2009 een vriendschapsrelatie met de Volksrepubliek China, in het bijzonder met de stad Hangzhou. Deze betrekkingen hebben in maart 2013 geleid tot een officiële verzustering tussen de gemeente Weert en het district Yuhang van de stad Hangzhou. Deze verzustering is in mei 2018 met 5 jaar verlengd. Het doel is samenwerking bevorderen op de terreinen van economie, cultuur, ondenruijs, sport en toerisme. Deze samenwerking krijgt onder meer vorm doordat de besturen van beide partners elkaar met regelmaat over en weer een bezoek brengen. Dit verslag is bedoeld om een beeld te schetsten van het (werk)bezoek van Weert aan Yuhang dat in oktober 2018 plaatsvond. Hangzhou / Yuhang Hangzlrou is de hoofdstad van de oostelijke provincie Zhejiang, Volksrepubliek China. Het aantal geregistreerde inwoners bedraagt ruim 12 miljoen. Hangzhou is één van de bekendste en welvarendste steden van China en staat vooral bekend om de natuurlijke en groene omgeving, met het West Lake als toeristisch trekpleister. Van het begin van de 12e eeuw tot de Mongoolse invasie in 1276was Hangzhou de hoofdstad van China. Hangzhou bestaat uit 7 districten, waaronder Yuhang, Xiaoshan, Binjiang, Xihu en Gongshu. Het district Yuhang bestaat inmiddels uit circa 1,2 miljoen inwoners. Werkbezoek Burgemeester Jos Heijmans, wethouder Geert Gabriëls, directeur René Bladder en kabinetschef Ton Lemmen bezochten het district Yuhang van 24 llm 27 oktober 2018. Tevens sloot de heer Verweerden de CEO van Lamoral Coatings BV uit Weert hierbij aan. Het bezoek was nodig om tot concrete afspraken te kunnen komen m.b.t.

    China Keemun Panda Loose Leaf Tea English Tea Store • Cup Characteristics: A winey and fruity tea with depth and complexity. Takes milk very well • Infusion: Bright tending reddish • Ingredients: Black tea • Caffeine/Antioxidant Level: Medium/Medium • Grade(s): Panda Grade #1 • Manufacture Type(s):Special Keemun Orthodox • Region: Anhui Province • Growing Altitudes: 1500-4900 feet above sea level • Shipping Port(s): Shanghai Brewing Instructions Hot Tea Brewing Method: Use freshly drawn water. When water is re-boiled, or stands for a while, it loses oxygen which prevents the full flavor of the tea being released. Warm the pot first. This helps the brewing process by maintaining the brewing temperature for longer so to extract more flavor from the tea. Be sure to use boiling water to make the tea. Water which is "off the boil" does not allow the tea to brew properly. Ideal brewing temperature is 100° C/212° F. Minimum brewing temperature is 90° C/194° F. Brew for 3-5 minutes. Shorter times will not reveal the full flavor and the quality of the tea. Longer brewing will result in a bitter tasting tea as Tannin will start to be extracted from the tea leaves (If you brew in a cup brew for a much shorter time, 1 - 2 minutes). Stir the tea in the pot once or twice while it is brewing. Iced tea brewing method (Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose tea, 6 tea bags into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1.25 cups/315ml over the tea.

  • Some Tips About Drinking Tea

    Some Tips About Drinking Tea

    Some tips about drinking tea (Zhu Li) Tea is the most popular drink in the world. Tea itself is the balance of Yin and Yang. First of all, how to categorize tea? Tea can be grouped into Yin Tea and Yang Tea. Yin Tea includes white tea, dark tea and yellow tea. Yang Tea includes green tea, black tea and qing (blue) tea. So, in total there are 6 categories of tea, 3 kinds of Yin Tea and 3 kinds of Yang Tea. Secondly, how to prepare tea? The preparation of tea follows the Yin Yang balance rule. When preparing the Yin Tea, we use the ‘Yang’ way, boiling is the easiest and best way. Comparatively, when preparing the Yang Tea, we need to choose the ‘Yin’ way, and never boil any Yang Tea, otherwise it may cause potential health problems. Boiling the Yang Tea will produce anthraquinone in green tea, cyanogenic glycosides in qing tea, and acrylamide in black tea, and all these chemical components may cause cancer in long run. So, using the clay pot to prepare black tea will not only helps us to get best taste but also a cup of healthy tea. As to Qing tea, it’s easy to use French press to prepare it. Grand Yang tea, green tea needs a special treat, which is to drop the 1 boiled water into the cup with green tea leaves. By doing this way, the green tea will taste fresh and have sweet ending. Thirdly, when to drink tea? The time consideration of tea drinking actually is related with the best time of acupuncture method, which is called ‘Zi Wu Liu Zhu’ in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

    Tea Culture Tea Overview Tea Preparation

    Tea Overview Tea-a beverage made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis) in hot water for a few minutes Tea is the most widely-consumed beverage after water. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent #avour. The !ve types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea, white tea, and pu-erh tea. Tea Culture Tea culture is de!ned by the way tea is made and consumed, by the way the people interact with tea, and by the aesthetics surrounding tea drinking. Tea is commonly drunk at social events, and many cultures have created intricate formal ceremonies for these events. Western examples of these are afternoon tea and the tea party. In the east, tea ceremonies di"er among countries, Japan's complex, formal and serene one being the most known. Other examples are the Korean tea ceremony or some traditional ways of brewing tea in Chinese tea culture. Unique customs also exist in Tibet, where tea is commonly brewed with salt and butter, or in the Middle East and Africa where tea plays an important role in many countries. The British empire spread its own interpretation of tea to its colonies, including places like Hong Kong, or Pakistan which had existing tea customs.
