| | Chinese Tea Ceremony |
| | The water used in the tea ceremony is as important as the tea itself. | | | These teas are particularly refined, such as oolong teas which are lightly fermented and red teas that can be moderately to heavily fermented. | | | The Chinese tea ceremony emphasizes the tea, rather than the ceremony -- what the tea tastes like, smells like, and how one tea tastes compared to the previous tea, or in successive rounds of drinking. |

| | Chinese Tea Culture: The Chinese Experience |
| | The word for tea leaves or tea as a drink in many countries are derivatives from the Chinese character "cha." The Russians call it "cha'i", which sounds like "chaye" (tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China, and the English word "tea" sounds similar to the pronunciation of its counterpart in Xiamen (Amoy). | | | The habit of tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century, but it was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries. | | | Of the three major beverages of the world-- tea, coffee and cocoa-- tea is consumed by the largest number of people. |

| | Tea is a drink made by infusing leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis, or Thea sinensis) in hot water. | | | Oxidation of tea leaves is a purely chemical process and has nothing to do with the yeast-based fermentation that produces bread or beer. | | | The name 'tea' is also used to refer to the leaves themselves; and it is also the name of a mid- to late-afternoon meal in the British Isles and associated countries, at which tea (the drink) is served along with various foods. |

| | Tea connoisseurs classify the tea by its aroma (often fragrant or flowery), taste and aftertaste (often melony). | | | In one legend, the owner of a tea plantation was scared away from his drying tea leaves by the appearance of a black snake; when he cautiously returned several days later, the leaves had been oxidized by the sun and gave a delightful brew. | | | Oolong (&; wūlóng in the Mandarin Pinyin romanization) is a traditional Chinese type of tea somewhere in between green and black in oxidation. |
