The only reason especially suited to drinking green tea leaves in a bowl… we haven’t done so thus far is due to the financial, linguistic and geographical barriers to doing so.

Socio-cultural history of tea had not been well-studied field in the Soviet historiography, but in the recent years, some of historians work on this theme because of the diversification of subjects in the Russian historiography. The paper provides an overview of early encounters of tea in Russia in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, comparing with other beverages that were drunk at that time. The paper sheds light on the two supply routes of tea to Russia, one from Mongolia and China, and the other from Europe. Drinking of brick tea did not become a custom in the 18th century, but tea consumption had bloomed since 19th century, rapidly increasing the import of tea. The main part of the paper clarifies how Russian- Chines trade at Khakhta had been interrelated to the consumption of tea in Russia. Finally, the paper shows how the Russian tea culture formation followed a different path from that of the tea culture of Europe.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

  • Adagio Adds Traditional Claypots to Teaware Lineup
    Michael Cramer 973 253 7400 x111 [email protected] Adagio Adds Traditional Claypots to Teaware Lineup GARFIELD, NJ – Adagio Teas (www.adagio.com), a gourmet tea retailer, is set to unveil its new line of clay teapots imported from China. YiXing teapots, as they are known, will be added to Adagio’s wide assortment of teaware and accessories starting in October. The clay teapots will be available in three different designs and colors. Each pot is handmade from the famous “Purple Clay of YiXing, China,” in the ancient traditional art of clay teapot production. YiXing teapots are smaller than the average teapot, because they are intended for individual use, producing one to two servings of tea. Since the 15th Century, YiXing pots have been used throughout China, where they are valued for their elegance and exceptional tea brewing capabilities. Over the years, their distinctive design and exquisite beauty attracted the attention of European tea drinkers. However, these pots are relatively unknown to tea enthusiasts in the United States, who are accustomed to larger teapots. Those who craft YiXing pots feel that the unique properties of the purple clay make it ideal for brewing tea. Due to the porous nature of the clay, it absorbs the flavor, smell, and color of the tea that is brewed in it. Over time, these teapots develop a flavored coating on the inside, acquired from repeated use. When a tea is brewed in the pot, this coating imparts a unique flavor. As a result, most YiXing pot owners dedicate a single tea varietal to a specific teapot, so as to minimize the flavor interference caused by cross­brewing.
