  • Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing Within and Between the Senses
    foods Review Multisensory Flavour Perception: Blending, Mixing, Fusion, and Pairing within and between the Senses Charles Spence Crossmodal Research Laboratory, Oxford University, Oxford OX2 6GG, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 21 March 2020; Published: 1 April 2020 Abstract: This review summarizes the various outcomes that may occur when two or more elements are paired in the context of flavour perception. In the first part, I review the literature concerning what happens when flavours, ingredients, and/or culinary techniques are deliberately combined in a dish, drink, or food product. Sometimes the result is fusion but, if one is not careful, the result can equally well be confusion instead. In fact, blending, mixing, fusion, and flavour pairing all provide relevant examples of how the elements in a carefully-crafted multi-element tasting experience may be combined. While the aim is sometimes to obscure the relative contributions of the various elements to the mix (as in the case of blending), at other times, consumers/tasters are explicitly encouraged to contemplate/perceive the nature of the relationship between the contributing elements instead (e.g., as in the case of flavour pairing). There has been a noticeable surge in both popular and commercial interest in fusion foods and flavour pairing in recent years, and various of the ‘rules’ that have been put forward to help explain the successful combination of the elements in such food and/or beverage experiences are discussed. In the second part of the review, I examine the pairing of flavour stimuli with music/soundscapes, in the emerging field of ‘sonic seasoning’.

Abstract China was the first to produce tea and consumed the largest quantities and its craftsmanship was the finest. During the development of Chinese history, Chinese Tea culture came into being. In ancient China, drinking tea is not only a very common phenomenon but also an elegant taste for men of letters and officials. Chinese tea culture is extensive and profound and it is necessary for foreigners to understand Chinese tea culture for the purpose of smooth and deepen the communication with the Chinese people. Keywords: tea culture, elegant taste, cultural communication 1. Introduction Chinese tea culture is a unique phenomenon about the production and drinking of tea. There is an old Chinese saying which goes, “daily necessaries are fuel, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea” (Zhu, 1984: 106). Drinking tea was very common in ancient China. Chinese tea culture is of a long history, profound and extensive.

  • The Impact of Tea in Song Dynasty China
    The Impact of Tea in Song Dynasty China Brett Harris Submitted to the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures of the University of Florida in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Dr. Richard Wang, Honors Thesis Advisor Abstract This thesis is a study on the impact that tea played in Song Dynasty China, 960-1276 A.D. Tea reached a vogue that was unmatched at the time, and it impacted the culture of the time in many different ways. Additionally, tea played a huge role in the Song economy. In a time of almost perpetual warfare, the Chinese needed a way to procure horses. Through the Tea and Horse Agency, the Song Dynasty government was able to trade tea for the extremely valuable warhorses. Without horses, the Chinese had no chance against the powerful, highly organized steppe empires of the time. Tea was the major commodity traded to obtain the requisite horses used to keep peace for over three hundred years. 1 Tea’s Impact in Song Dynasty China Tea in China dates back to at least the Han Dynasty. The earliest written records of tea drinking come from “A Contract with a Child Servant” by Wang Bao in the year 59 B.C. (Wang 2). While originally popular mostly among the southern Chinese, tea drinking spread throughout the country. This permeation through China took place mainly during the eighth century. The eighth century saw Lu Yu’s “Book of Tea,” and many poets composed poems to the drink. An eighth century tea aficionado named Feng Yan also attributes its prevalence to Buddhism.

NICHOLLS Soft yt'elding minds to water glide away, And sip with nymphs their elemental tea.-(RAPE OF THE LocK.) CUP of tea? This simple question, so familiar to us, may be A the prelude to an engaging dissection of the foibles and frailties of our friends and neighbours. The School for Scandal is an in­ stitution not unknown, even in these days. Or, if conducted on a higher plane, the ensuing conversation may serve to cement inter­ ests and lead to lasting friendships. In either case the cup of tea brings out character, and does much to promote the amenities of life. Plausible tradition hath it that in wine poesy finds its inspir~ ation, as truth its opportunity. The Horaces of the past had their brows wreathed in vine leaves, and, though we cannot picture the Horaces of the present as garlanded with tea leaves, at least with the leaves as we are wont to see them, yet there is evidence that the humbler beverage is not devoid of power. Tea-drinking can; without doubt, promote good fellowship, and may even give a fillip to the imagination. At times it affords the pretext for a display of delightful causerie and profound wisdom. Admirers of Oliver Wendell Holmes will recall his "Over the Teacups," in which, like a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, he lights on many topics;-art, literature, love, old age, and the philosophy of life- with his own inimitable touch.
