  • The Coloration and Glazing of the Teas of Commerce
    Art. VIII.- ?The Coloration and Glazing of the Teas of Commerce. By R.Warrington,F.C.S. (The Quarterly Journal of the Chemical Society, No. xiv. 1851. Art. xv. P. 156.) In the year 1839, on the 16th of August, a Report on the Manufacture of Teas in China and the kingdom of Assam was published by Mr C. A. Bruce ; and in this report, which was soon after republished in the Edinburgh New Philosophical Journal, it was stated that the articles used in glazing and co- louring various forms of the green teas especially, was indigo, with sulphate of lime.1 It appears now, according to the re- sults of positive analysis by Mr Warrington, that this colour never is communicated by means of indigo, but by another article much less costly, namely, Prussian blue or prussiate of iron. Mr Warrington shewed in a former communication to the Chemical Society in February 1844, that there are two kinds of green tea, known in commerce as the glazed and the un- glazed; that the glazed is coloured by the Chinese with a mixture of Prussian blue and gypsum, or sulphate of lime, to which a yellow vegetable colouring matter is sometimes added; that the unglazed kinds are merely dusted with a small quantity of gypsum powder ; and that in the specimen of what is called Canton gunpowder this glazing or facing is carried to the highest degree. Mr Warrington then also stated, that he had never met with a sample of green tea, in which the blue tint was given by means of indigo.

  • 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.

    molecules Article Identification of Similar Chinese Congou Black Teas Using an Electronic Tongue Combined with Pattern Recognition Danyi Huang , Zhuang Bian, Qinli Qiu, Yinmao Wang, Dongmei Fan and Xiaochang Wang * Tea Research Institute, Zhejiang University, # 866 Yuhangtang Road, Hangzhou 310058, China; [email protected] (D.H.); [email protected] (Z.B.); [email protected] (Q.Q.); [email protected] (Y.W.); [email protected] (D.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0571-8898-2380 Received: 8 November 2019; Accepted: 6 December 2019; Published: 12 December 2019 Abstract: It is very difficult for humans to distinguish between two kinds of black tea obtained with similar processing technology. In this paper, an electronic tongue was used to discriminate samples of seven different grades of two types of Chinese Congou black tea. The type of black tea was identified by principal component analysis and discriminant analysis. The latter showed better results. The samples of the two types of black tea distributed on the two sides of the region graph were obtained from discriminant analysis, according to tea type. For grade discrimination, we determined grade prediction models for each tea type by partial least-squares analysis; the coefficients of determination of the prediction models were both above 0.95. Discriminant analysis separated each sample in region graph depending on its grade and displayed a classification accuracy of 98.20% by cross-validation. The back-propagation neural network showed that the grade prediction accuracy for all samples was 95.00%. Discriminant analysis could successfully distinguish tea types and grades. As a complement, the models of the biochemical components of tea and electronic tongue by support vector machine showed good prediction results.

    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.
