People cultivate their morality and mind, and savor life through tasting tea, thereby attaining joy of spirit. Chinese tea lore is several hundred years, possibly even thousands of years, older than that of Japan. It is said that Chinese tea lore places an emphasis on spirit and makes light of form.

Do not drink tea soon after or before meals. Otherwise it may quench appetite when your stomach is empty, or cause indigestion when your stomach is full. Do not drink with medication.

We especially designed tours for tea lovers to have an in-depth tea culture experience in China. Chinese Tea - In the beginning, tea was used in ritual offerings. Then, tea leaves were eaten as a vegetable, or used in medicine. Until the Han Dynasty more than 2, years ago, tea was a new drink. During the Sui Dynasty , tea was used for its medicinal qualities. In the fourth and fifth centuries, rice, salt, spices, ginger and orange peel, among other ingredients, were added to tea. In the Tang Dynasty , tea drinking became an art form and a drink enjoyed by all social classes. Tea became a popular drink in Buddhist monasteries after the caffeine proved to keep the monks awake during long hours of meditation. For this reason, many monasteries cultivated vast tea fields. It is likely that his experience growing up surrounded by tea inspired his book written during the Tang Dynasty. In The Book of Tea , Lu Yu recorded a detailed account of ways to cultivate and prepare tea, tea drinking customs, the best water for tea brewing and different classifications of tea. Whipped powdered tea became fashionable during the Song Dynasty , but disappeared completely from Chinese culture after the Yuan Dynasty , when many other aspects of Song culture were erased during foreign rule. Read more Nice book ,good insight in the teas ,arrived very quick Inadequate treatment of the topic. Some good photographs, though small-format, A very short book, in a flight-magazine style, designed for tourist or souvenir purposes. Interesting but very limited selection 10 of teas discussed briefly. More oriented to China tourist kitsch. Execrable though sometimes unintentionally funny English. This was a perfect companion gift for the tea set we bought. Great book!! Book was purchased for a friend who thoroughly enjoyed it Good product, arrived in time I love this book, it has very interesting information. Tis book is superb and as good as any. Discovering China: Chinese Tea – Pages Cheap Books Moved by curiosity, the emperor found Lu Yu and asked him to make tea for the monk, without letting the monk know. His book, considered the masterpiece of the tea art, is a comprehensive guide on all things about this Asian drink, from its history to the harvesting, processing, quality control, brewing, producing regions. At the tea market, all little shops look like cosy sitting rooms in which customers are invited to sit and taste the different kinds of teas and infusions before deciding which one to buy. Only staring at the ritual is already fascinating. The tasting is also part of the ritual, during which the seller will explain the characteristics of the tea you are sipping. Pinghe tranquillity is the outward shape of the peaceful spirit shown by tea drinkers. Heping and pinghe, peace and tranquillity, are interdependent like teeth and lips. Here, peace is a spirit, and also a shape; tranquillity is a shape, and also a spirit. The swift moves of the tea experts make the whole experience of purchasing tea so rich that next time I want to buy it, it will feel a shame to simply pick one from the Carrefour shelves. Living in Italy, coffee has become far more important to me than tea. Very holistic. Love this post! I had my first art of tea experience many years ago when my uncle took me to a tea house in China. Beautifully written, although I am a coffee fiend I was fortunate enough to visit Japan and see a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, I would love to go experience the differences between the two. Also Japanese tea tradition must be very fascinating. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.

Dried leaves from the tree above floated down into the pot of boiling water and infused with the water, creating a pot of tea, marking the first ever infusion of the tea leaf.

    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

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.

  • A Basic Introduction to Taiwanese Oolong Tea
    A Basic Introduction to Taiwanese Oolong Tea We’d like to start with a special thanks to Li Guang Chung, whose research was invaluable in creating this introduction. 烏 Taiwan is truly a tea paradise, full of bountiful tea varieties, tea culture and events, teaware artisans and masters. A Chajin can turn any corner and find another tea lover to share another perspective over a cup or two. The island’s wealth of tea is way beyond the scope of even an extended issue of Global Tea Hut. There is more oolong variety than we can explore, let alone all the other kinds of red and green tea the island offers. If you look 龍 at it, the island itself is shaped like a tea leaf! Our journey through Taiwanese oolong will be geographical. Like all true Zen masters, Tea has always been known by the mountain She comes from, since She is one with Her terroir. A few of the teas shown on the map to the right are varietals/ processing methods—Baozhong, GABA, Eastern Beauty and Tieguanyin—but the rest are locations. We will move from the general to the specific, starting with an overview in this article and then moving into the history of Taiwanese tea, changes over time, varietals and then some informative articles on specific oolong regions and farmers. So let Guanyin flick her magic waters on us and let’s climb up on this black dragon. He’s gentle, and will guide us well...
