Tea Culture

One of the customs of overseas tea drinking
(2021/6/22)
When talking about drinking tea, the first thing that comes to mind is our country, because tea comes from our country. As early as three or four thousand years ago, people in our country just started drinking tea. Because tea is slowly spreading to countries all over the world, tea has also acquired a global and varied tea-drinking customs. The way to make tea is born from time to time. Many people in our country love tea. Afghans think "Chinese tea is the world's first" and they like to use Chinese tea the most. In Afghanistan, it can be seen everywhere in the teahouses that everyone uses tea instead of wine. No matter how hard daily life is, they still drink a few bowls of light tea every day. In Tajikistan, known as the "Empire of Milk Tea Shops", there are also countless tea houses. Every morning, most Pakistanis must drink a cup of milk tea. This type of milk tea shop uses tea (mostly green tea) to be boiled to thicken, then remove the tea and pour in fresh milk and sugar. Kurds regard tea as life. "I would rather not eat for a day than tea for a day." Their tea drinking habits are unique. Although they must drink strong tea every day, they only drink one or two cups each time. This type of strong green tea is made by boiling tap water and tea and then adding sugar. In the same way, Moroccans in Africa also feel: “It’s good not to eat a day, and it’s not good not to drink tea a day.” They can’t live without tea for three meals a day. If there are distinguished guests, they must use savory sweet tea to receive guests. This type of tea is made by boiling green tea leaves and fresh mint in water in a special iron pot, and adding sugar. Burmese people like a peculiar tea. It is strange because of its unique production method and taste. The tea is first brewed, and then mixed with soybean flour, chopped green onions, dried shrimps, soy sauce and fried chili noodles, and eaten, sometimes with some salt. This tea is spicy, astringent, fishy, ​​sweet and salty. They drink so much that they can only admire them. Thais like iced tea. Put crushed ice cubes in the brewed hot tea and let it cool before eating. This is most likely due to the hot weather in Thailand. The habit of drinking iced tea is also common abroad. Since the 1960s, foreigners have just started to drink iced tea, especially in the south, and it is still the same today. The history of foreigners drinking tea is not long, it just started in the 18th century. But when "bags of tea" appeared on the sales market in 1902, tea sales increased. In the 1930s, foreigners made a kind of "quick tea", which is to process the tea into hard granules (generally with sugar content) after a unique solution, which can be washed with tap water when eating. It is extremely popular because of its convenience and speed. The most worth mentioning is the United States. The history of American tea drinking is not very recent. When Chinese tea was introduced to the United States more than 200 years ago, Americans still regarded it as a rare product. In Huitian, the United States has become one of the countries with the largest tea sales in the world, with an average of 3.5 kilograms of tea per person a year. Some Americans need to drink a cup of strong tea before they wake up in the morning. Some people call it "quilt tea." Most people must drink afternoon tea (also called "staple tea"), usually at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the content is not only tea, but also toast, unsalted butter, sausage, and fish. Sausages, sandwiches, fruits and vegetables, etc. are equivalent to a meal. Americans love to drink green tea, especially the Qimen black tea in our country. In the past, they had to add milk or lemonade and sugar when drinking tea. But with the prevalence of weight loss, Americans are slowly falling in love with unsweetened milk tea shops or beverage teas with a variety of juices.
