  • 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.

Weed Biology and Management 5, 157–165 (2005) REVIEW PAPER Lantana invasion: An overview GYAN P. SHARMA, AKHILESH S. RAGHUBANSHI and JAMUNA S. SINGH* Department of Botany, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India We review the key features of Lantana (Lantana camara L.), an invasive plant species considered to be among the world’s 10 worst weeds. Lantana occurs in diverse habitats and on a variety of soil types, and its spread is encouraged by animal activities and by human disturbances, such as cultivation, road construction, and changes in fire regimes. Lantana is morphologically dis- tinct in the different regions of its invasive range compared to those regions in its native range. The biological attributes contributing to the success of Lantana as an invader species include: fitness homeostasis, phenotypic plasticity, dispersal benefits from destructive foraging activities, widespread geographic range, vegetative reproduction, fire tolerance, better competitive abil- ity compared to native flora, and allelopathy. Mechanical, chemical and biological options for the eradication and control of Lantana are available. It is emphasized that ecosystem-level consequences of Lantana invasion, particularly on the biodiversity of native flora, are little understood and studies are needed to fulfill this knowledge gap. Keywords: biological attributes, geographic spread, invasive species, Lantana, management. INTRODUCTION corded but, today, there is an increasing realization of the ecological costs of this process. Over 40% of the Invasion of exotic species is among the most im- plants listed as threatened and endangered species in portant global-scale problems experienced by natural the United States of America are at risk from invasive ecosystems.

  • Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar
    Analysis of Tea Culture in Myanmar Society: Practices of Tea Consumption in Upper Myanmar Lei Shwe Sin Myint1 Abstract Tea leaves, in many forms, are an important part of Myanmar society. Apart from being a favorite food, they possess metaphorical and symbolic value in the spiritual, social and religious parts of Myanmar daily life. There are many types of tea leaves in Myanmar. They are black tea, dried tea and fermented tea. Black tea is mostly used to make tea at tea shops. Dried tea is drunk plain with hot water. Fermented tea is considered a delicacy and is offered as gifts to the Buddha and the Sangha during religious donations and events and is used as offerings to Nat (spirits) as well. Fermented tea salad is widely consumed all around Myanmar. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze how tea is involved in Myanmar society. The objectives of the research are to identify the daily use of tea as a human utility, to analyze the effects in Myanmar society and the perceived benefits of the Myanmar tea leaf in the social, economic and religious aspects of Myanmar society. The methodology will be a qualitative approach based upon direct observations, in-depth interviews, and key-informant interviews. According to the findings of the research, tea is used daily in Myanmar society, in its beliefs, traditions, ceremonies and festivals. Tea is an inanimate substance for humans, but it is used by living organisms faithfully. Because of the long adhered tea-consuming traditions, tea has become associated with improving friendships, trust building and conflict resolution.
