| | Japanese tea ceremony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Since a tea practitioner must be familiar with the production and types of tea, with kimono, calligraphy, flower arranging, ceramics, incense and a wide range of other disciplines and traditional arts in addition to his or her school's tea practices, the study of tea ceremony takes many years and often lasts a lifetime. | | | Tea ceremonies may take place outside (in which case some kind of seating will usually be provided for guests) or inside, either in a tea room or a tea house, but tea ceremonies can be performed nearly anywhere. | | | Kaiseki for tea ceremony is sometimes referred to as chakaiseki (茶懐石, cha: "tea") meaning "tea kaiseki." Chakaiseki usually includes one or two soups and three different vegetable dishes along with pickles and boiled rice. |

| | Rec.food.drink.tea FAQ |
| | 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, Totally / Discovering a refuge in an ancient art |
| | The thought of a tea bag in a pot seems horrendous after one decent tea service at, say, Chez Panisse, where they understand that tea can be as complex as wine and thus call their longtime tea buyer, Helen Gustafson, a tea sommelier. | | | Among those three styles of tea, there can be thousands of variations depending on where the tea is grown, when it is harvested, which part of the leaf is used and how the leaves are processed. | | | The tea menu is long, and the tea you order will dictate the sort of vessel it is served in, from covered Chinese guywan to an oversized latte cup. |
