Tea history

Behind all this, beer day is a fascinating and colorful history that winds through the social and cultural history of many nations. According to ancient legend, tea was discovered accidentally by a Chinese emperor in the third millennium BC C. only a few tea leaves floating in your pot of boiling water from somewhere.

If this is fact or fiction, we will never know. In fact, there was no written reference to tea until the third century C, until a famous Chinese doctor has recommended an increase vigilance. Most historians agree, however, that tea has been used in China well before that date.

Tea entered its golden age in the Tang Dynasty in the seventh century AD. Tea entered the era of rituals and traditions. We do not drink, like a tonic medicinal tea taken two for pleasure as for its restorative powers. Preparation and service of alcohol has become an elaborate ceremony, while the cultivation and processing of the leaf were closely monitored.

Tea became very important during this period by a group of traders to the Commission of the writer, Lu Yu, the first to compile book on the subject - Classic tea. All teas produced in China was originally green.

However, with increased trade over Dynasty Ming (AD 1368-1644), Chinese producers are facing the challenge of preserving the delicate qualities of tea during their long journeys from as far as Europe. The solution was the invention of new methods of treatment for black tea and fragrant flowers. Ming producers found that fermentation has been able to preserve tea leaves, making them able to travel abroad for long. And if taste of Europe Green tea has been the fashion has changed gradually to black as Chinese producers changed the methods of tea production in terms of trade logistics long distance.

Top
When one looks at Europe, you're not sure who was responsible for introducing tea it - the Dutch or Portuguese in the seventeenth century the two nations are now actively trade in the seas of China. The Portuguese teas from China sent to Lisbon and then the Dutch East India Company carried the goods to the Netherlands, France and Germany.

the fate of tea Britain has been a tower of luck in 1662 when King Charles II married a Portuguese princess. new queen of Great Britain was addicted to tea and brought him some tea in her dowry. The news of the spread of new drinks, increasingly want to try. Tea soon became the most popular drink United Kingdom, replacing beer and gin to break the fast at any time of day. Tea is also an essential component entertaining people outside the home.

Tea Gardens luxury appears throughout the country, where people from all social classes, including fees might take the air fresh, drink tea and enjoy a wide variety of entertainment. The British tradition of "after lunch, tea is generally attributed to Anna, Duchess of Bedford. She had the idea of tea around four or five in the afternoon to avoid the feeling of hunger between lunch and dinner. Soon all of London is the fashion of these meetings was delivered after lunch with tea, sandwiches to eat, and exchange gossip and general chat.

As tea consumption in Britain has increased, the balance of payments was in favor of Chinese. Britain has an answer to correct the imbalance of trade and opium, the Chinese wanted. But the opium trade has quickly become a serious international problem, and the insurance monopoly, Great Britain declared war. China retaliated by imposing an embargo on all exports of tea. The Opium Wars began.

Cut off trade with China, Great Britain began to look elsewhere for production tea. Northern India was particularly promising because of its climate and altitude. This is where the first harvest in 1823 of the British East India Company was planted. Its first shipment of Assam tea arrived in fifteen years later, in London, and the company quickly expanded to other areas, especially the hills of Darjeeling and Munnar in Kerala. The Kannan Devan Tea was born.

He inevitable that the tea could find their way to North America with settlers from Europe. Throughout the New World, the tea is drunk equally elegant, as in Europe. In colonial America, courtesy tea and silver and porcelain were symbols of wealth and social status. Even families with fewer resources considered making tea as a token of his good manners. La Fiesta Boston Tea Party ended the United States pleasure for both the British and tea. The origin of the problem lies in the adoption of an Act of Parliament in 1767, which tried to impose the American colonies.

Within two years after his death, most American ports refused to allow any dutiable goods to earth, and when the British sent seven shipments of tea from London, the feelings were high. In New York and Philadelphia, demonstrations forced boats to turn back. In Boston, the general malaise for several weeks was followed by the approach of Dartmouth by a gang of men disguised as Indians, shouting "The Port of Boston - a tea in the evening."

Over the next three hours, they threw 340 chests of tea overboard. The British government closed Boston harbor and the arrival of British troops on American soil marked the beginning of the War of Independence and the American tradition of drinking coffee. The Second World War marked a fatal blow to the affinity of the United States of teas. Before the war, Americans were well aware of the many varieties of tea. Imported exclusively in the East, however, these teas are rare during the war, and were replaced by lower quality of black tea Argentina and other markets open. Unfortunately, so far, almost all tea consumed in the United States is black low grade.

Tea Growth

tea bushes are planted 1 meter 1.5 meter to follow the natural contours of the landscape. It is sometimes grown in specially prepared terraces to help irrigation and to prevent erosion. Fifty years ago, tea has been raised from seeds of tea and tea known estatewere seedlings. Each planting of trees has increased on its own seed tea has reached a height of about 25 meters. These young plants are from cuttings from a strong and rich forest. They are carefully accommodated in special nurseries until they are 12-15 months old and then planted in the tea fields.

Trees are often planted among the tea plants to protect against the intense heat and light, especially in the plains of Assam and Kenya, where sunlight is more intense. The trees also provide the microclimate and soil improvements. geometric spacing are used, often in a space large. Again, ensure uniform treatment (shade) and ease of machining operations. shade trees are common, Erythrina Gliricidia, and Silver Oak.

When the tea factory fallow and becomes unlimited 10 mts. To simplify the culture and stimulate production of leaf buds, regularly pruned and trained in the flat-topped bushes about one meter high. When the plant grows a height of about half a meter above the ground, reduced - the size of a few centimeters of soil - to lock on track to become a shrub flat top. Usually, a tea bush is 1 to 1.5 meters in height. 2-3 year cycles of regular size stimulate the supply of sprouts, red which is full every week to ten days, depending on where it is grown.

The tea leaves are mostly hand plucked. The tea plant is harvested every 5-10 days, depending on where it grows. Workerstime tea length necessary for filming began rebuilding a new shoot ready for plucking varies gathering system and weather. The difference between the seventy days and four are common.

When the tea plant is plucked two leaves and shoots are cut. A qualified Plucker can start to 30 kg of tea leaves by day. To make one kilo of black tea, approx. 4 kg of tea leaves are needed. A tea plant produces about 70 kg of black tea per annum. In a warm climate plant is started after four years and produce tea for at least 50 years. A climate for culture must have a minimum annual rainfall 1140-1270 mm. The Soil must be acidic tea and tea can be grown in alkaline soils.

A crop of 11,650 kilograms per hectare requires 3.7 to 4.9 workers per hectare to pick tea buds and maintain the fields. Mechanical harvesting has been tried, but because of their lack of selectivity, can replace the hand plucked. Since 1900, progress of cultivation of tea has increased the average yield per hectare in India from 180 to 450 kg, with many farms that produce over 680 kilograms.
