MATCHA - GREEN TEA Product Description Firsd Tea’s matcha is a finely milled green tea from Wuyi, Zhejiang Province, China. Matcha was originally used in ancient Chinese tea ceremonies, and was later introduced to Japan. Culinary-grade matcha is used as a natural ingredient for flavoring and coloring foods and beverages. More premium and ceremonial grade matchas are used for bottled matcha drinks, matcha lattes, and traditional matcha beverages. Higher grade matchas, when traditionally prepared, create a frothy foam with a deep green OCG011 liquor. Organic Matcha Matcha is made from tencha leaf- green tea leaves specially shade-grown for a defined period. Shading the plants increases chlorophyll content, prevents development of tannins, and enhances the dark emerald-green color of the fresh leaves. Tencha is laid out flat to dry and then partially rolled. It can then be de-veined, de-stemmed, and milled to the fine, bright green powder known as matcha. It can take up to one hour to mill 40 grams of matcha. Contains caffeine. Allergen free. Non-GMO. Cupping Proceedures Consumer style: 0.5 teaspoon matcha in 6 oz water @ 170 °F. Whisk, froth, or stir thoroughly. Professional cupping standard: 2 grams matcha in 2.4 oz water @ 170 °F. Whisk thoroughly to create froth/foam. Available In Firsd Tea’s matcha is available in two grades: Organic Ceremonial and Organic Culinary. Also available in matcha latte mix (organic and conventional). Our conventional green tea powder (non-matcha) is also widely used for similar food and beverage applications.

Teahouses and the Tea Art: a Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie Master's Thesis in East Asian Culture and History (EAST4591 – 60 Credits – Autumn 2015) Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages Faculty of Humanities UNIVERSITY OF OSLO 24 November, 2015 © LI Jie 2015 Teahouses and the Tea Art: A Study on the Current Trend of Tea Culture in China and the Changes in Tea Drinking Tradition LI Jie http://www.duo.uio.no Print: University Print Center, University of Oslo II Summary The subject of this thesis is tradition and the current trend of tea culture in China. In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

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.

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.

Camellia Chinese Tea Plant FREQUENTLY ASKED
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT IS CAMELLIA ALL ABOUT? Camellia sinensis, or the Chinese Tea Plant, is the plant grown across China whose foliage is dried and used to make white, green and black tea. Growing the Chinese Tea Plant is a fun and easy way to make your own homemade tea. HOW DO I MAKE TEA FROM MY CHINESE TEA PLANT? The simplest tea to make is a “White Tea” which refers to the fact that it is the most mild in flavor, has the least amount of caffeine, and is the easiest to make. To go from white tea to green tea to black tea, you use the exact same foliage but the length of time drying the leaves and then preparing the leaves will get successively longer. To make white tea, pluck a handful of foliage and set it on a baking tray for a couple of days until the leaves have wilted. Then place baking tray in an oven set to 200-250F for 20 minutes until the leaves have completely dried. Store the foliage in a cool, dark place until you are ready to brew. When you wish to brew tea, place about 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of the dried foliage in an empty tea bag, tea ball, or other tea steeping device. Pour hot water over it and allow to steep for about 3-4 minutes before removing foliage from the water. WHERE SHOULD I GROW MY CHINESE TEA PLANT? This plant is a beautiful, glossy evergreen plant with fragrant white flowers. It does very well in containers that can be grown indoors as a houseplant year-round or grown outdoors in the summer and brought indoors in the winter.
