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which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear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.

Les feuilles de théier sauvage ont sans doute été utilisées dès l'époque préhistorique, dans leur région d'origine située au sud- ouest du pays, pour des besoins alimentaires et médicinaux, et par la suite le théier a été domestiqué et sa culture s'est étendue durant la fin de l'Antiquité et le début de l'époque médiévale, dans la moitié méridionale du pays. Le thé devient une véritable Thé chinois. boissons nationale chinoise à l'époque de la dynastie Tang (618-907), quand les élites lettrées commencent à célébrer ses plus grands crus.

  • Begleitbrief Paket 1
    Cha Ma Gu Dao - Gesellschaft für Teegenuss. Paket 1 - Mai 2016 www.laenggasstee.ch Endlich ist es soweit und Sie halten das erste Paket mit unseren Teeschätzen in der Hand. Es sind schlicht verpackte Tees à jeweils 24g. Wir empfehlen die Zubereitung des chinesischen Gongfucha; jeweils 3g in einem Gefäss von einem guten Deziliter (wie zum Beispiel ein Gaiwan) mehrmals aufgiessen und jeden Aufguss ca. eine Minute ziehen lassen. So können sie jeden Tee acht Mal geniessen. Mit diesem Begleitbrief möchten wir Ihnen kurz erläutern, welche Tees wir für Sie ausgewählt haben; weiter erhalten Sie hier ausführliche Informationen zu den einzelnen Tees: Yin Zhen Eine Top­Qualität eines echten Baihaoyinzhen in traditioneller Verarbeitung. Ungefähr 50 Stunden an der Sonne gewelkt, länger als die allermeisten heutigen Weisstees. Dadurch ist der Tee dunkler und sanfter, weniger grün­grasig als andere. Er wird am Taimushan angebaut, einer der Top­ Lagen für Weisse Tees im Gebiet Fuding. Weisser Tee ist schon seit den Anfangen in unserem Sortiment. Anfänglich bezogen wir ihn ausschliesslich über Grosshändler in Deutschland, seit mittlerweile 10 Jahren suchen und finden wir gute bis sehr gute Qualitäten direkt am Produktionsort in Fuding. 2015 haben sich für uns neue Welten eröffnet: Zum ersten Mal haben wir einen wirklich klassischen, genügend lange gewelkten Weisstee gefunden, eben den Yin Zhen der Ernte 2015. Yin Zhen ist ganz normal im Sortiment von Länggass­Tee und kann problemlos nachgekauft werden. Huang Xiao Cha Ein sehr guter Alltags­Gelbtee, als gerader Mao Feng verarbeitet. Huang Xiao Cha meint Kleiner Gelbtee und bezeichnet die bessere Qualität der späteren Ernte, während Huang Da Cha (Grosser Gelber Tee) die günstigste Qualität wäre.
