Tea in China has a history of more than 1200 years, the development of the domestic in full swing, but in the step out of the country, but has been struggling. China has the world's largest tea planting area and ranked second in production, but there is no tea brand internationally, and even the mention of tea, many foreigners think of Japan first. Why don't foreigners drink Chinese tea? In the face of such a predicament, Chinese tea and how to get out of the country, healthy development? The United States is a coffee kingdom, but about half of the people drink tea. Tea sales in the U.S. exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars a year. There are hundreds of Chinese oolong tea and green tea on the American market, but they are all canned cold tea. Americans drink tea differently from China; most people drink iced tea rather than hot tea. When drinking it, they first put ice cubes in the cold tea, or ice the cold tea in the refrigerator beforehand, and then sip it. Unfortunately, because of this tea to cold for the top, there is no Chinese tea steeped in that taste, that warmth, that love, so the flavor of the tea greatly reduced.
In Britain, the number of tea drinkers is much higher than in China. The British spend almost 1/3 of their lives drinking tea. 2006, the BBC website users voted on 12 so-called "Britain's national symbols". Among them, "a cup of tea" topped the list with 35.03% of the votes. British Tea Council adviser Jane Pattigrew told the Life Times reporter, the British people drink 165 million cups of tea every day, an average of three cups per person a day. The Japanese are obsessed with tea. Drinking mainly green tea, including a jade green tea, tea leaves green with a slightly blue, with a ghostly feeling. With ancient tea bowls, standing ellipsoidal tea cups and other tea utensils to brew, tea astringent in the sweet, sweet and differentiated with a strong corn aroma, there is if the feeling of the forest and the rain. Tea ceremony with more coarse porcelain old bowl, there are self-effacing and self-esteem.
Germans also like tea. But the German tea, some both ridiculous and lovely place. For example, Germany also produces flower tea. But not our country with jasmine, magnolia or orchid flowers and other smoked tea, their so-called "flower tea", is made with a variety of petals plus apple, hawthorn and other dried fruit, inside a piece of tea is not. It is really "no tea with flowers". Chinese flower tea, speaking of the flower flavor of the fragrance; German flower tea, seeking petals of the real; Germany's flower tea, sugar must be put, otherwise due to the flower too much, there is astringent sour taste. Germans also buy Chinese tea. But home drinking tea is to use boiling water, put on the fine metal filter sieve on the tea leaves constantly rushing, rushing down the tea through the installation of the sieve under the funnel flow to the teapot can be, and after that, even the tea will be poured out. There is a Chinese to the German home guests, found its tea taste light, the color is light, a question to know the Germans "unique creation" of the "tea" kung fu.
The tea data, drink tea the most per capita more countries are not China is not the United Kingdom, China's per capita tea consumption is not in the top ten. It is difficult to think about it, drink the most tea in the country is Turkey, so foreigners drink tea, only they drink tea a black tea, followed by black tea (old green, black brick type), they drink tea customary milk and sugar. Tea and tea culture originated in China, China is a veritable 'tea ancestor', but China's tea in the world lack of influence and reputation, resulting in low prices, production, income ratio upside down. We can no longer have a "good tea for their own drinking" thinking, to our Chinese tea, to share the world's peoples.
