Crazy Expensive Tea!(D2911) Upper-Intermediate - Crazy Expensive Tea!(D2911) A: 最近新茶上市，我托朋友買了些上好的西湖龍井，要不要品嘗一下？ zuìjìn xīn chá shàngshì， wǒ tuō péngyou mǎi le xiē shànghǎo de xīhú Lóngjǐng， yào bù yào pǐncháng yīxià？ A new tea has just come on the market and I asked a friend to buy some top-grade West Lake Dragon Well tea, do you want to taste it? B: 哇，那怎麼好意思，清明前的新茶可得上千塊人民幣一公斤呢！ wā， nà zěnme hǎoyìsi， qīngmíng qián de xīn chá kě dé shàng qiān kuài rénmínbì yī jīn ne！ Wow, how could I accept? A new tea before Tomb Sweeping Festival can cost thousands of renminbi for a kilogram! A: 小意思小意思，我也就這點愛好，好在老婆也理解，況且這錢也得流通 一下才有價值嘛。 xiǎoyìsi xiǎoyìsi， wǒ yě jiù zhèdiǎnr àihào， hǎozài lǎopó yě lǐjiě， kuàngqiě zhè qián yě děi liútōng yīxià cái yǒu jiàzhí ma。 It's a mere trifle, it's one of my only interests.

Look how the water is gradually absorbed and goes dry after you soak the teapot, its air permeability is also quite good. The tea that comes out is certain to have it all: color, fragrance and taste. A: 您這一聽就是內行人。來來來，嘗嘗看，第一道已經洗杯了，這是第二 道。 nín zhè yī tīng jiùshì nèiháng rén。 lái lái lái， chángchang kàn， dì yī dào yǐjīng xǐ bēi le， zhè shì dì èr dào。 Listening to you it's clear you're in the business.

Tea culture holds several thousand years of the wisdom and cultivation of our forebearers. B: 說的沒錯，可惜現在年輕人啊都熱衷於西洋的咖啡，靜不下心來去體悟 茶道和茶藝的美好。 shuō de méicuò， kěxī xiànzài niánqīngrén ā dōu rèzhōngyú xīyáng de kāfēi， jìng bùxià xīn lái qù tǐwù chádào hé cháyì de měihǎo。 That's right, it's a pity that young people these days are so passionate about Western Visit the Online Review and Discussion (text version) © 2016 ChinesePod Ltd. coffee, and can't calm down enough to experience the beauty of tea ceremonies and the art of tea. A: 那是因為我們老啦，有大把的時間，哈哈。來來來，我這還有碧螺春、 鐵观音、雲南普洱，既然來了就都嘗嘗看。 nà shì yīnwèi wǒmen lǎo la， yǒu dàbǎ de shíjiān， hāhā。 lái lái lái， wǒ zhè háiyǒu Bìluóchūn、 Tiěguānyīn、 Yúnnán Pǔěr， jìrán lái le jiù dōu chángchang kàn。 That's because we're old and have a lot of time on our hands, ha ha.

I'll drink tieguanyin, as it's milder. A: 好啊好啊，沒問題，綠茶性太涼，普洱呢不是人人都喜歡那個味道，確 實是鐵观音最適合。 hǎo a hǎo a， méiwèntí， lǜchá xìng tài liáng， Pǔěr ne bùshì rénrén dōu xǐhuan nàge wèidao， quèshí shì Tiěguānyīn zuì shìhé。 OK, OK, no problem, green tea is too cooling in its essence and not everyone likes the taste of pu'er, so tieguanyin is the most suitable.

Forty mineral elements in 87 tea samples from three growing regions in Guizhou Province (China), namely Meitan and Fenggang (MTFG), Anshun (AS) and Leishan (LS) were analyzed. Chemometrics evaluations were conducted using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). The results showed that the concentrations of the 28 elements were significantly different among the three regions (p < 0.05). The correct classification rates for the 87 tea samples were 98.9% for LDA and 100% for OPLS-DA. The variable importance in the projection (VIP) values ranged between 1.01–1.73 for 11 elements (Sb, Pb, K, As, S, Bi, U, P, Ca, Na, and Cr), which can be used as important indicators for geographical origin identification of tea samples.

Received: July 8, 2019 Accepted: September 26, 2019 Online Published: October 28, 2019 doi:10.5539/ies.v12n11p187 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v12n11p187 Abstract Since the 21st century, China has put forward the “going out strategy of Chinese culture” which aims at realizing the awakening, reviving, integrating and spreading of Chinese culture. China emphasizes strengthening and improving the spreading of Chinese culture in order to enhance the soft power of national culture. China needs to cultivate intercultural communicative talents that can display Chinese culture to the world through an appropriate path with profound intercultural communication awareness and excellent intercultural communicative competence. Being representative of Chinese traditional culture, tea culture carries a long history of China. This paper takes the tea culture as an example for teaching design from the aspects of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation based on the ADDIE model, aiming at optimizing the teaching design of Chinese culture into English teaching and cultivating students’ intercultural communicative ability. Keywords: ADDIE model, Chinese culture, teaching design, tea culture, intercultural communicative competence 1. Introduction Different eras require different talents and the target of education changes accordingly.

  • Tea-Picking Women in Imperial China
    Beyond the Paradigm: Tea-Picking Women in Imperial China Lu, Weijing. Journal of Women's History, Volume 15, Number 4, Winter 2004, pp. 19-46 (Article) Published by The Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: 10.1353/jowh.2004.0015 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/jowh/summary/v015/15.4lu.html Access provided by Scarsdale High School (3 Apr 2013 11:11 GMT) 2004 WEIJING LU 19 BEYOND THE PARADIGM Tea-picking Women in Imperial China Weijing Lu This article explores the tension between women’s labor and tea-pick- ing through the Confucian norm of “womanly work.” Using local gaz- etteer and poetry as major sources, it examines the economic roles and the lives of women tea-pickers over the course of China’s imperial his- tory. It argues that women’s work in imperial China took on different meanings as ecological settings, economic resources, and social class shifted. The very commodity—tea—that these women produced also shaped portrayals of their labor, turning them into romantic objects and targets of gossip. But women tea-pickers also appeared as good women with moral dignity, suggesting the fundamental importance of industry and diligence as female virtues in imperial China. n imperial China, “men plow and women weave” (nangeng nüzhi) stood I as a canonical gender division of labor. Under this model, a man’s work place was in the fields: he cultivated the land and tended the crops, grow- ing food; a woman labored at home, where she sat at her spindle and loom, making cloth.

We also offer delicious sweets and savories and invite you to take a moment to relax: This is Chado. Chado is pronounced “sado” in Japanese. It comes from the Chinese words CHA (“tea”) and TAO (“way”) and translates “way of tea.” It refers not just to the Japanese tea ceremony, but also to an ancient traditional practice that has been evolving for 5,000 years or more. Tea is quiet and calms us as we enjoy it. No matter who you are or where you live, tea is sure to make you feel better and more civilized. No pleasure is simpler, no luxury less expensive, no consciousness-altering agent more benign. Chado is a way to health and happiness that people have loved for thousands of years.

  • Polyphenol Content in Green, Black and Infusions in Different Times of Tea Maceration
    POLYPHENOL CONTENT IN GREEN, BLACK AND ooLoNG TEA (CAMELLIA S/NENSIS [L.l KUNTZE) INFUSIONS IN DIFFERENT TIMES OF TEA MACERATION J. Lachman, M. Orsák, V. Pivec, J. Dudjak, o. Krym Czech íJniversity of Agriculture, Faculty of Agronomy, Department of Chemistry, Prague, Czech Republic Spectrophotometrically with Folin-Ciocalteu's reagent total polyphenol content (TP) in tea infusions was estimated in six green tea sorts (Bai Mu Dan, Bancha Kyoto, Bi Luo Chun, Cui Ya Cha, Gyokuro Kyoto, Zhu Cha), six black tea sorts (Assam, C.T.C., Ceylon "Adam's Peak", Ceylon "Tiger River", Darjeeling "Himalaya" TGFOP, Pu Er and Yunnan) and in the oolong tea Wu Long. The selected sorts from the harvest represented different climate, altitude, the main regions of cultivation and different technologies of tea production. Polyphenol contents in the infusions were estimated after different times of elution in the range 1-60 min. Total polyphenol content increased with increasing time of elution statistically significantly with the exception of Wu Long tea. The increase of TP content in the first phase of maceration was very high (17.33-63.13 g.kg-l tea in 1st min, 31.28-92.43 g.kg-l tea in 5th min), at the end of the maceration it was already low (35.00-1 16.59 g.kg-l tea in 30th min and 44.55-If8.'75 g.kg-l tea in 60th min). The maceration of black tea sorts was quicker in comparison with green tea and half-fer- mented oolong tea. The highest TP content was estimated in the first and third minutes of maceration in Assam, C.T.C.
