How Much Is “All The Tea In China”?

August 27th, 2010

Tea Growers from Around the World

The tea plant camellia sinensis is originally from Yunnan province, China, but over its more than 4000 year lifespan, tea farms have spread from Southern China as far West as East Africa. There are thousands of sub-varieties and hybrids of tea plants, stemming from 3 main varietals: China bush (mainly grown in China), Assam bush (mainly grown in India), and Java bush (mainly grown in Indonesia). Tea became popular in the 19th and 20th century worldwide, and its popularity still grows today.  Below are the main producers of tea, ordered by yearly production:

China

The largest tea producer worldwide is China who produced a staggering 1.27 million tons in 2008. Most of their exported tea is black tea, with world consumption divided between black tea at 97% of total production and green and other teas at only 3%. Most other tea growing areas of the world, except Japan, grow black tea. Along with tea, China produces clay teapots and porcelain teapots for domestic use and export worldwide.

In China tea production is varied depending upon the climate, altitude and soil types it is grown in. A tea plant in China takes approximately 5 years to reach a mature enough state to produce a viable crop. The plant can then produce usable tea leaves for up to 30 years. In China they use mostly organic fertilizers and do not use pesticides at all, preferring to remove the plant completely rather than affect the delicately flavored leaves with chemicals.

China and Taiwan are the only sources of Oolong tea worldwide due to the very technical nature of its grading and production. This also makes it more expensive, but its flavor is of exceptional quality. Green tea is mostly consumed within China, although quite a bit is exported to the main other green tea drinker, Japan.

India

Since the British were embargoed from trade with China following the Opium wars in the 19th century, Britain, who had become both colonial empire builders and devoted tea drinkers, found other places to source their black tea. Already colonized by the British and used to grow the opium that the Chinese bought, India had plenty of areas that were suitable for the production of tea. These plantations still exist today and have made India the second largest world producer, growing mainly black tea. The main areas in India are Assam/Darjeeling in the foothills of the Himalayas north-east, Kerala in the south, and Kangra in the far north-west. Their different locations, varieties and conditions make them quite distinguishable, each area having a classic flavor associated with it.

Africa

Although tea is grown in many African nations such as Zimbabwe, Uganda, Malawi, and South Africa, Kenya is the leading African producer by far, producing around 350,000 tons yearly.  It has terrain friendly to growing tea, such as high elevation areas.  Kenya produces mainly black tea for export to Britain and Western Europe.

Sri-Lanka (formerly Ceylon)

Sri-Lanka’s tea production is on a par with Kenya. Their plantations are at different altitudes due to the topography of Sri-Lanka and makes for the many different flavors available from this relatively small island. Referred to as “Ceylon tea” still, these black teas are popular throughout the world; growers are now branching out to produce different varieties such as green tea in recent years.

Turkey

Turkey is another tea producer whose product is not really seen to be prominent on the shelves of the average tea room. Their tea is all of the black variety and is grown along the black sea coast. Their tea is prepared in a dual kettle system which makes the brew steep for a lot longer than in most areas of the world and makes for a far from delicate flavor – an acquired taste by all accounts…

Vietnam & Indonesia

Neighboring Vietnam and Indonesia grow a sizable amount of tea as well.  Vietnam grew 175,000 tons in 2008, while Indonesia grew 150,000 tons.  They occupy spots 6 and 7 on this list of tea production.  The tea in these regions is the Java bush, which grows well in jungle and rainforest climates.  However, the quality is not as good as the China bush or Assam bush (grown in China and India, respectively), and as such, teas from Vietnam and Indonesia are used for blends or lower quality bagged teas.

Elsewhere

There are other countries that grow tea including Argentina, Iran, and Japan, who grow just green tea for the domestic market, and Bangladesh, who supply black tea for blending. In general, worldwide production is ever increasing and varieties forever being added; with mankind’s propensity for enjoying tea this is likely to be an ongoing trend.

Thinking Of Throwing A Tea Party?

August 25th, 2010

If you want to host an afternoon social occasion but don’t want to make a lunch can’t find reason enough to throw a full blown party, why not try a tea-party?

Obviously you could just invite your friends around and brew some tea but if you want to go the extra mile why not consider these tips;

Think about when you want to host it, depending on the time of year it might be better to host the party at different times of the day, for example at Christmas time people will want to catch up after time apart and might spend all evening chatting away, in this case get some finger foods at the ready. A tea party would traditionally be between 10am and 4pm otherwise you are pretty much having people for breakfast or dinner!

Think about the size of group you are inviting, if you want an intimate atmosphere, keep to around 8 but any more than that any you will need to consider larger quantities of food and possibly a buffet. A large group almost defeats the object of a tea party.

Depending on the time of the year you don’t have to hold a party indoors, you could easily hold it in the garden or on a terrace in the summer, alternatively in a park or on a beach if you want to be unconventional, but just remember that you will have to find some way to heat the tea.

It is nice to have a bite to eat with tea but unless you are organising a luncheon try to keep it finger food. Pastries and scones compliment tea nicely; cakes and deserts are even nicer but be careful not to eat too much.

Obviously the tea itself is an important part of the party but try and avoid brewing one single pot of unusual tea, not everyone enjoys a mint herbal ginseng blend. Simple tea is the safest option but it is nice to provide alternatives. The tea is best served out of a teapot so make sure you have one of these and some nice cups and saucers to match. A bowl of sugar and jug of milk could be handy too.

The best cups and saucers to take are delicate ceramic rather than pointless cold cups or paper cups.

The amount of caffeine also depends of length of time of brewing, and likewise on the temperature of the water. If the leaves are exposed to higher water temperature, more caffeine are drained from the leaves.

August 18th, 2010

We’ve to take care of our systems. To do that, we can exercise, eat a good diet and in addition consume some health drinks. Similar to food, such refreshments have to be prepared and here a twp that you are able to experiment at home.

The very first is green tea. Studies have established that tea is more healthy than coffee because it can help regulate your blood sugar and blood pressure, prevent certain cancers, fight plaque on your teeth, lower your cholesterol and slow up the aging process.

To make green tea, you will need one tea bag and then put this either in the kettle full of warm water or straight to the cup. After letting it stand for about 3 minutes or so, you can already drink it. If you would like to include flavor to your tea, you can test adding sugar, honey and even a lemon wedge.

The next drink is the fruit smoothie. The mixture itself is just like making milkshake but in place of the added calories, this is replaced with vitamins and minerals and nutrients. To do that, you have to buy some fruit, low fat yogurt, some crushed ice and water. All the ingredients are then mixed in the blended and when it is ready, this is poured into a tall glass.

Apart from those you can make, there are those that may be poured straight from the container. These health drinks are your basic fruit juices and you can find these in different variations such as apple juice, grape juice, orange juice, pineapple juice and a lot more.

Although these health drinks have certain advantages, you have to understand that these goods are highly processed which suggests these are high in sugar. These will surely cause your blood sugar to go up and drinking too much of these might result in damage to your heart and kidney over time.

There are also health drinks from vegetables which are better referred to as functional beverages. These are nice to have since many of us don’t eat a salad daily. The only problem is that you obtain essential nutrients from various vegetables so you have to buy different products and take it alternately.

The newest health drink is called the cell renewal formula because it is a combination of fruit and vegetable extracts mixed with herbs and various plant compounds. There are merely a a couple of these products so far in the market and a few of these don’t taste that good so it takes time for somebody to acclimatize to it.

Among all the various health drinks available, the one thing that isn’t included in this group is the energy drinks. If you read the ingredients on the label, these incorporates synthetic sweeteners, caffeine or ephedra and in some cases a mixture of all three.

You have in all probability drank a a couple of these in the past and although they taste good, the reality is that it may replenish your electrolytes after a workout but it does not have give you any minerals and nutrients which are beneficial to your health. This does not mean you should quit drinking energy drinks but consume it moderately.

There is without a doubt that health drinks are good for you otherwise physicians and various health specialists won’t recommend them. You can make this yourself or buy these from the outlet but before you bringing it to the checkout counter, take time to read what is written on the items label.

 

When talking about health drinks, don’t forget about water! Having a good berkey water filter is one of the best investments that you can make, along with the Big Berkey Water Filter and even the Travel Berkey Water Filter.
