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).

A Guide to Wuyi Mountain Cliff Tea
A Guide to Wuyi Mountain Cliff Tea Wuyi Cliff Tea was my first romance, and much of why I fell in love with the Leaf. I have traveled to Wuyi every year since, and written and spoken extensively on the subject. Here in this guide I have gathered together interviews, translations and excerpts from several articles friends, as well as experts and I myself have written over the years. Together it forms a nice collage of Wuyi and its famous Cliff Tea. I’d like to thank all of those interviewed as well as the authors that allowed their writing to be translated and/or reprinted herein. -Wu De or hundreds of years tea lovers have followed tradition of holiness and the smell of antiquity to the a journey leading into the northern wilderness of area.

Based on Sensory Characteristics and Chemometric Techniques Xiangqian Yin 1, Xiaoxue Xu 1, Qiang Zhang 2 and Jianguo Xu 1,* 1 College of Food Sciences, Shanxi Normal University, Linfen 041004, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (X.X.) 2 College of Life Sciences, Shanxi Normal University, Linfen 041004, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-357-2051-247 Received: 29 March 2018; Accepted: 21 April 2018; Published: 24 April 2018 Abstract: In this paper, principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDAp, artificial neural networks (ANN), and support vector machine (SVM) were applied to discriminate the geographical origin of Chinese red peppers (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.). The models based on color, smell and taste may discriminate quickly and effectively the geographical origin of Chinese red peppers from different regions, but the successful identification rates may vary with different kinds of parameters and chemometric methods. Among them, all models based on taste indexes showed an excellent ability to discriminate the geographical origin of Chinese red peppers with correct classifications of 100% for the training set and the 100% for test set. The present study provided a simple, efficient, inexpensive, practical and fast method to discriminate the geographical origin of Chinese red peppers from different regions, which was of great importance for both consumers and producers. Keywords: Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.; geographical origin; sensory characteristics; chemometric techniques; electronic nose; electronic tongue 1. Introduction Chinese red pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.) is an aromatic tree and shrub plant belonging to the genus Zanthoxylum of the family Rutaceae and native to eastern China that is now mainly distributed in Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Gansu, and Shandong provinces of China and some Southeast Asian countries.

How Has Tea Shaped British History?
How has tea shaped British history? A Tea etiquette GROUP WORK Group A Culture Tip The Boston tea party was an incident that took place in Boston in 1773. American colonists who were protesting a tax on tea, threw overboard 342 chests of tea that had been imported by the British East India Company. Ë Tea etiquette GROUP WORK Group B 1 Present your document (source, topic, goal). 2 Explain how tea is presented (decorum, historical references). 3 Show how important tea is for British people. Give examples. 4 Exchange your findings with a classmate. 5 Phonology break Listen to the beginning of the first video (from 0’18 to 0’54), paying particular attention to the pronunciation of the /t/ consonant in the following words: take, it, tea, strainer, stir.

There’s something about that firm bitterness that sparks devotion: the British consume 60 billion cups per year, according to the Tea and Infusions Organisation. That’s more than 900 cups a 10 year for every man, woman and child in Great Britain – though we no doubt all know someone who likes many more than that.

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. Thank you for joining us. Your hosts, Reena, Devan & Tek A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHADO Chado opened on West 3rd Street in 1990 as a small, almost quaint tearoom with few tables, but with 300 canisters of teas from all over the globe lining the walls. In 1993, Reena Shah and her husband, Devan, acquired Chado and began quietly revolutionizing how people in greater Los Angeles think of tea.
