以下是“中国”茶叶的历史：======================History of Chinese Tea======================Chinese tea consists of tea leaves which have been processed using methods inherited from China.According to popular legend, tea was discovered by Chinese Emperor Shennong (Shen Nung, Shen Nong, The Yan Emperor, The Emperor of the five grains) in 2737 BC when a leaf from a Camilla sinensis tree fell into water the emperor was boiling. Not everyone agrees on the origin, but no one disputes that tea is deeply woven into the history and culture of China. The beverage is considered one of the seven necessities of Chinese life, along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.Some writers classify tea into four categories, green, white, black and oolong. Others add categories for red, scented and compressed teas. All of these come from varieties of the Camilla sinensis plant. Chinese flower tea (花茶), while popular, is not a true tea. Most Chinese tea is consumed in China and is not exported. Green tea is the most popular type of tea used in China.Within these main categories of tea are vast varieties of individual beverages. Some researchers have counted more than 700. Others put the number at more than 1,000. Some of the variations are due to different strains of the Camilla plant. The popular Tie Guan Yin 铁观音, for example, is traced back to a single plant discovered in Anxi 安溪 in the Fujian province. Other teas draw some of their characteristics from local growing conditions. The largest factor in the wide variations comes from differences in processing after the tea is harvested. White and green teas are cooked soon after picking to prevent oxidization, often called fermentation, caused by natural enzymes in the leaves. Oolong teas are partially oxidized. Black and red teas are fully oxidized. Other differences come from variations in the processing steps.Chinese Tea HistoryTea (Camellia sinensis) is native to China. The ancient Chinese used them for medical purposes, then developed the infusion we know as tea; to this day tea is said to purge the digestive system of 'toxins'. Later the Chinese learned to grow tea plants and use their leaves to make various types of tea.Many different types of tea were grown during each of the dynasties in China.The Tang DynastyA list of the differing grades of tea grown in the Tang Dynasty:Premier Grade Tea: Xiazhou, Guangzhou, Huzhou, Yuezhou, Pengzhou. Second Grade Tea: Jingzhou, Ranzhou, Changzhou, Mingzhou. Third Grade Tea: Shouzhou, Hangzhou, Muzhou, Hengzhou, Taizhou, Xuanzhou, Yiazhou, Luzhou. Fourth Grade Tea: Jinzhou, Lianzhou, Huangzhou, Sozhou, Yunzhou, Hanzhou, Meizhou. Tea dates back to the West Zhou Period in ancient China, when the Chinese used tea as offerings. Since then, tea leaves have been eaten as vegetables, used as medicine, and, since the Han dynasty, infused in boiling water, the new drink making tea into a major commodity. There are many different kinds of tea. The three basic categories are non-oxidised green tea, semi-oxidised oolong tea, and fully oxidised black tea. All true teas are usually made from the same type of plant, “Camellia Sinensis”, although some teas are flavored with other plants and flowers.Tea is made through a very long and delicate procedure where young tea leaves are picked, steamed or pan fried, then dried and sifted, and finally distributed to wherever they need to go. The flavor of tea varies depending on how it is prepared.Many people drink tea because of its health advantages. Tea promotes in occasions digestion[citation needed], is rich in vitamins, and brings a feeling of relaxation when you drink it.The Song DynastyTea was an important crop during the Song Dynasty. Tea farms covered 242 counties. This included expensive tribute tea; tea from Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, where some was exported to Southeast Asian and the Arab countries.In the Song Dynasty, tea started to be pressed into tea cake, some embossed with patterns of the dragon and the Phoenix and was called exotic names including:Large Dragon tea cake, Small Dragon tea cake, Surpass Snow Dragon ball cake, Fine Silver Sprout, Cloud Leaf, Gold Money, Jade Flower, Inch of Gold, Longevity Sprout, Eternal Spring Jade Leave, Dragon in the Clouds, Longevity Dragon Sprout, Dragon Phoenix and Flower, Eternal Spring Silver Sprout.The Ming DynastyMing dynasty scholar 文震亨 Wen Zhenheng's book 长物志 Zhang Wu Zhi (On Superfluous Things) chapter 12 contains description of several famous Ming dynasty teas:Tiger Hill Tea and Heaven Pool TeaDuring this time Tiger Hill Tea was purportedly developed as (still) the finest tea in the world, however, the production quantity was rather small, and growing is regulated by the Chinese government. Some, however, consider its taste to be second to Heaven Pool tea. Zhen Heng.Jie TeaJie Tea from Chang Xing of Zhejiang is superb and highly regarded, though rather expensive.Those from Jing Qi find it is slightly inferior.NB: "Jie" is the short hame for "Luo Jie". Luo Jie was the name of a mountain bordering Zhejiang and Jing Qi (in the Ming dynasty), where "jie"-- meant boundary. Chang Xin was south of Luo Jie mountain, Jing Qi was north of Luo Jie. Chang Xin retains its name till today.Luo Jie tea from Gu Chu mountain in Chang Xing county in Zhejiang was also known as Gu Chu Voilet Shoot. Gu Chu Voilet Shoot had been imperial tribute tea since the Tang dynasty for nearly nine hundred years until the middle of the Qin dynasty. Gu Chu Voilet Shoot was revived again in the seventies as a top grade tea in China.NB. Jin Qi is now called Yi Xin township. Jin Qi tea was also known as Yang Xian tea. Ruo Leaves are leaves from Indocalamus tessellatus bamboo. The leaf is about 45 cm long.Liu An Tea"Liu An" tea is used for Chinese medicine, although if it is not baked right, it cannot let out its aroma and has a bitter taste. The inherent quality of this tea is actually quite good. Wen ZhenhengNote: Liu An is a county in Anhui. Liu An tea is still produced from Liu An county in Anhui province in China. The Liu An tea from the Bat Cave of Jin Zai county is of superior quality, as thousand of bats in the cave can provide an ideal fertilizer for the tea plants.Song Luo TeaSong Luo tea is manufactured at Song Luo mountain located north of Xiu Ning township in An Hui proovince in China. The tea farms are scattered between a height of six to seven hundred meters on the mountain.There is no real Song Luo tea outside an area of a dozen mu* and only one or two families possess the refined skill to prepare Song Luo tea. Recently the tea hand-baked by mountain monks is even better.Genuine Song Luo tea is produced at the foot of the Dong Shan (Cave Hill) and on top of the Tian Chi (Heaven Pool), highly treasured by people in Xin An county. It is also a favourite for the people of Nan Du and Qu Zong counties, due to its ease in brewing and intense aroma.One mu = 667 square meter. Dragon Well Tea and Eyes on Heaven TeaLong Jing and Tian Mu may match Heaven Pool tea due to the weather in their growing regions. Because the cold season comes earlier to the mountains, there is abundant snow in the winter, hence the tea plants germinate later. [Wen Zhenheng]Long Jing tea is manufactured in the West Lake district in Hangzhou city, China. There is a Longjing (Dragon Well) on the Feng Huang mountain. Tian Mu mountain is located in Lin An county in the north west of Zhejiang province. There are two 1500-meter peaks, each with a pond on top filled with crystal clear water looking like an eye, hence the name of Eyes on Heaven.

blacktea没错，就是这个。关于红茶的野史——大家知道英国人为什么特别喜欢喝红茶吗？其实事情是这样的：当年英国的茶叶商人喝过中国的绿茶以后大为喜欢，深深着迷，于是他决定想尽办法也要把中国的绿茶运回英国。他们好不容易把船开来中国，又买了一整船的茶叶浩浩荡荡运回英国，可是，没想到啊没想到，长途的海运竟然让绿茶变了质，而且发酵了的绿茶成了另一种味道。商人很心痛，想想既然没人喝过正宗的绿茶，于是他就把发酵的绿茶拿出来卖。这个……英国人喝了之后都赞不绝口。因为这种茶的颜色较绿茶深，所以大家就把这种“发酵的绿茶”叫做BlackTea或者是BrownTea啦。从此英国人就深深地爱上了红茶了。并且把红茶英文叫做BLACKTEA.

红茶的茶叶虽然是黑色，但在中国却称为「红茶」，这是因为「红茶」的名称取自于茶的茶色。换言之，因为泡出来的茶是红色的，所以称为「红茶」。红茶从中国传到日本之后，日本人便直接沿用原有的名称，因此同样称为「红茶」。 另一方面，对欧洲人而言，将绿色的茶叶及茶色的茶称为「绿茶」，而以硬水冲泡出来的红茶，茶色相较于红色要来得黑，再加上茶叶本身也是黑色，于是便以「black tea」来称呼。 但是，英文的「black tea」包含了两个意思，一指的是不加牛奶单独饮用的喝法。在这里，即使加糖也无所谓，因此与加不加糖毫无关系。另一层含意指的是红茶茶叶本身。无论是中国的红茶，或是印度及斯里兰卡的红茶，在英文上都称为「black tea」。 在日本，不加牛奶单独饮用的喝法，一般称为「纯红茶」（straight tea），但在欧美国家，「straight」这个字大多用来指喝威士忌等酒类时不兑水直接喝的喝法，或是加冰块一起喝，用在红茶的情况上难免会让人觉得不是很恰当。这意思就好比在日本加热清酒称为「okannsuru」，但加热味噌汤等其他情况下却不用这个词。若外国人将「okannsuru」用来指「加热味噌汤」，对日本人而言同样会觉得不是很恰当（译注：「okannsuru」通常用来指加热清酒）。 虽然日本人「straight tea」的用法不是很恰当，但由于「black tea」的说法会让人感觉又黑又涩，无法入口，听起来不是像小孩或女性也能喝、口感清爽顺口的茶饮，所以改用「straight tea」来形容完全不加东西直接饮用，这样的说法对日本人而言或许还比较容易理解也说不定。 顺带一提，如同前述，「milk tea」同样是日本才有的说法，英文虽然也有「tea with milk」或「white tea」的说法，但那样的说法并不适合男性使用。 日本甚至还有「royal milk tea」（皇家奶茶）如此华丽、听起来特别美味的说法，但事实上这也是日式英文之一。这或许是因为冠上意指王室的「royal」一词，会让人感觉彷佛身处在英国白金汉宫喝茶吧。 「royal milk tea」对日本人而言指的是加了大量牛奶、比一般奶茶更香醇、更高级的红茶，就意义上来说，这样的名称似乎还说得通。但再怎么说也是日本人在日本喝红茶，既然如此，或许就没有特别必要取一个有英国风情的称呼了吧。 -END- 欢迎关注 饮哲红茶经 微信公众号 SH-YinZhe
