Practice is the basis and purpose of tea ceremony. Tea people enjoy tea activities, cultivate their sentiments and cultivate their minds. The practice of Chinese tea ceremony is "double cultivation of life and nature". • 茶道就是品赏茶的美感之道； • 是烹茶饮茶的艺术，是一种以茶为媒的生活礼仪 ，也是一种修身养性之道。增进友谊，美心修德 ，学习礼法。 • 茶道精神是茶文化的核心，是茶文化的灵魂。 • 唐代陆羽是中国茶道的创始人。 • Tea ceremony is the aesthetic way to appreciate tea.It is the art of cooking and drinking tea, a kind of life etiquette with tea as the medium, and also a way of self-cultivation. Enhance friendship, cultivate virtue and learn etiquette.The spirit of tea ceremony is the core of tea culture and the soul of tea culture.Lu Yu in Tang Dynasty was the founder of Chinese tea ceremony. 2、茶道法则：Tea ceremony rule • 宋代为“三点”与“三不点”品茶， “三点 ”为新茶，甘泉，洁器为一， 天气好为一，风流倜谠，气味 相投的佳客为一 ；反之， 是为“三不点”。 The Song Dynasty tasted tea for "three points" and "three non points". "Three Points" are that new tea is clean, and like sweet spring, 2.The weather is good, windy and fragrant. 3. The like guests are one; on the contrary,It's for "three non points". 3、中国茶道的表现形式 The manifestation of Chinese tea ceremony • 煎茶，就是把茶叶投入壶中和水一块煎煮。唐代的煎茶 是茶最早的艺术品尝形式。 • 斗茶，最早是以游艺的形式 在文人雅士之间流传。 • 工夫茶，是唐宋品茶艺术的流风余韵，福建、广东潮州 盛行。 *Frying tea means putting tea into a pot and boiling it with water. Fried tea in Tang Dynasty was the earliest form of artistic taste of tea. *Tea fight was first spread among literati and refined scholars in the form of entertainment. *Gongfu tea is the lingering charm of tea tasting art in Tang and Song Dynasties. Prevalent in Chaozhou, Fujian and Guangdong. 4、品茶的三种境界：Three realms of tea tasting 一是喝茶，将茶当饮料解渴。 One is to drink tea to quench thirst. 二是品茶，注重茶的色香味韵形，讲究水质、茶具、环境、气氛，喝时细 细品味。 The second is to taste tea, pay attention to the color, fragrance and rhyme of tea, pay attention to water quality, tea sets, environment, atmosphere, and taste carefully when drinking. 三是得道，在茶事活动中融入哲理、 Thirdly, we should integrate philosophy into tea activities. 伦理、道德，通过品茗来品味人生、 修心养性。 Ethics and morality, tasting life through tea,Cultivate one's original nature. 5、中国茶文化的意义 The Significance of Chinese Tea Culture • 增进人际关系:Enhancing interpersonal relationships • 促进家庭和谐:Promoting family harmony • 有益身心健康:Good for physical and mental health • 能够修心养性：Ability to cultivate one's mind 6、茶道与茶艺的关系 The relationship between tea ceremony and tea art • 茶道是以修行得道为宗旨的饮茶艺术，它是 茶艺与精神的结合，并通过茶艺表现精神。 Tea ceremony is the art of drinking tea with the aim of practicing Taoism. It is the art of drinking tea. It combines tea art with vitality and expresses vitality through tea art. • 茶艺是茶道的基础和载体，茶道 离不开茶艺，茶艺可以独立于茶 道存在。重“艺”，重“表演” Tea art is the basis and carrier of tea ceremony.Tea ceremony can't be separated from tea art. Tea art can exist without tea ceremony. We Emphasize "art" and "performance". 7、茶道与儒释道的关系 The relationship between tea ceremony and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism • 千载儒释道 万古山水茶 • Thousand Years of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism • 儒以修德 道以修身 佛以修心 • Confucianism cultivates morality and Buddhism cultivates the way of life, Buddhism and mind • 禅茶一味 正清和雅 八正道 • Zen Tea is blindly pure and elegant （正见 正思维 正语 正业 正精进 正命 正念 正定） (Orthodox thinking, Orthodox language, Orthodox business, Orthodox life, Orthodox determination) • 道法自然 天人合一 一期一会 • Daoism, Law, Nature and Man in One Phase and One Session 8、茶道与艺术 Tea ceremony and art 琴棋书画 Fancies of men of letters 诗酒花茶 Poem wine flower tea 茶诗 Tea Poetry 茶诗 Tea Poetry 9、茶道与生活 Tea ceremony and life 茶道即商道 Tea ceremony is a commercial road 商道即天道 Business Road is the Way of Paradise 谢谢大家！ 扫一扫.

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.

  • Notes on the History of Tea

    Notes on the History of Tea

    Notes on the History of Tea It is surprising how incomplete our knowledge is. We are all aware that we import coffee from tropical America. But where do we obtain our tea? What is tea? From what plant does it come? How long have we been drinking it? All these questions passed through my mind as I read the manuscript of the pre- ceding article. To answer some of my questions, and yours, I gathered together the following notes. The tea of commerce consists of the more or less fermented, rolled and dried immature leaves of Camellia sinensis. There are two botanical varieties of the tea plant. One, var. sinensis, the original chinese tea, is a shrub up to 20 feet tall, native in southern and western Yunnan, spread by cultivation through- out southern and central China, and introduced by cultivation throughout the warm temperate regions of the world. The other, var. assamica, the Assam tea, is a forest tree, 60 feet or more tall, native in the area between Assam and southern China. Var. sinensis is apparently about as hardy as Camellia japonica (the common Camellia). The flowers are white, nodding, fra- grant, and produced variously from June to January, but usually in October. The name is derived from the chinese Te. An alter- nate chinese name seems to be cha, which passed into Hindi and Arabic as chha, anglicized at an early date as Chaw. The United States consumes about 115 million pounds of tea annually. The major tea exporting countries are India, Ceylon, Japan, Indonesia, and the countries of eastern Africa.

    Japanese Tea Ceremony: How It Became a Unique Symbol of the Japanese Culture and Shaped the Japanese Aesthetic Views

    International J. Soc. Sci. & Education 2021 Vol.11 Issue 1, ISSN: 2223-4934 E and 2227-393X Print Japanese Tea Ceremony: How it became a unique symbol of the Japanese culture and shaped the Japanese aesthetic views Yixiao Zhang Hangzhou No.2 High School of Zhejiang Province, CHINA. [email protected] ABSTRACT In the process of globalization and cultural exchange, Japan has realized a host of astonishing achievements. With its unique cultural identity and aesthetic views, Japan has formed a glamorous yet mysterious image on the world stage. To have a comprehensive understanding of Japanese culture, the study of Japanese tea ceremony could be of great significance. Based on the historical background of Azuchi-Momoyama period, the paper analyzes the approaches Sen no Rikyu used to have the impact. As a result, the impact was not only on the Japanese tea ceremony itself, but also on Japanese culture and society during that period and after.Research shows that Tea-drinking was brought to Japan early in the Nara era, but it was not integrated into Japanese culture until its revival and promotion in the late medieval periods under the impetus of the new social and religious realities of that age. During the Azuchi-momoyama era, the most significant reform took place; 'Wabicha' was perfected by Takeno Jouo and his disciple Sen no Rikyu. From environmental settings to tea sets used in the ritual to the spirit conveyed, Rikyu reregulated almost all aspects of the tea ceremony. He removed the entertaining content of the tea ceremony, and changed a rooted aesthetic view of Japanese people.

    Tea Culture Tea Overview Tea Preparation

    Tea Overview Tea-a beverage made by steeping processed leaves, buds, or twigs of the tea bush (Camellia sinensis) in hot water for a few minutes Tea is the most widely-consumed beverage after water. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent #avour. The !ve types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea, white tea, and pu-erh tea. Tea Culture Tea culture is de!ned by the way tea is made and consumed, by the way the people interact with tea, and by the aesthetics surrounding tea drinking. Tea is commonly drunk at social events, and many cultures have created intricate formal ceremonies for these events. Western examples of these are afternoon tea and the tea party. In the east, tea ceremonies di"er among countries, Japan's complex, formal and serene one being the most known. Other examples are the Korean tea ceremony or some traditional ways of brewing tea in Chinese tea culture. Unique customs also exist in Tibet, where tea is commonly brewed with salt and butter, or in the Middle East and Africa where tea plays an important role in many countries. The British empire spread its own interpretation of tea to its colonies, including places like Hong Kong, or Pakistan which had existing tea customs. Di"erent regions also favor di"erent varieties of tea, black, green, or oolong, and use di"erent #avourings, such as milk, sugar or herbs. The temperature and strength of the tea likewise varies widely. Tea Preparation The traditional method of making a cup of tea is to place loose tea leaves, either directly, or in a tea infuser, into a tea pot or teacup and pour hot water over the leaves.

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.

    Temporal Changes in Aroma Release of Longjing Tea Infusion: Interaction of Volatile and Nonvolatile Tea Components and Formation of 2-Butyl-2-Octenal Upon Aging

    2160 J. Agric. Food Chem. 2008, 56, 2160–2169 Temporal Changes in Aroma Release of Longjing Tea Infusion: Interaction of Volatile and Nonvolatile Tea Components and Formation of 2-Butyl-2-octenal upon Aging †,‡ † † ,† YONG CHENG, TUONG HUYNH-BA, IMRE BLANK, AND FABIEN ROBERT* Department of Food Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China and Nestlé Research Center, Vers-chez-les-Blanc, 1000 Lausanne 26, Switzerland The temporal change in the headspace composition of an aroma model mimicking Longjing green tea aroma was studied in the presence of nonvolatile Longjing green tea constituents. Upon storage at 50 °C, the formation of 2-butyl-2-octenal was found, which increased with time. This enal was generated by crotonization of hexanal as demonstrated in model experiments. The formation of 2-butyl- 2-octenal was also detected in Longjing tea infusions and Longjing tea leaves upon storage at 50 °C. The presence of nonvolatiles induced a strong decrease in aroma release. These effects were mainly due to catechins, major constituents of green tea infusion. Free amino acids, that is, glycine, contributed only to significantly decrease R,-unsaturated carbonyl aroma compounds, that is, 1-octen-3-one and geranial. Model reaction containing a mixture of 1-octen-3-one and glycine indicated on the basis of NMR and MS data the formation of the tentatively identified N-1-(3-oxo- octyl)glycine resulting from a 1,4-addition. The perceived aroma of green tea infusion is very likely to be affected by the formation of new aroma compounds and the changes in aroma release affected by interactions with tea nonvolatile components.
