An interesting graphic that shows how the different teas are prepared. I found it interesting that Japanese Green Teas are steamed while Chinese Green Teas are pan fired. That could very well explain why I prefer the taste of the Japanese to the Chinese.

Very interesting. The burning tires (

) is missing though.

I love it ! Too bad it sounds horrible in Dutch, or I would start using this phrase as well.

It's really not that hard. You just click multiquote (next to quote) when you see a post you want to respond to. Click 'Quote' for the last post you want to quote.

I'm sipping a glass of water. I'm really not well today, I got to the train station and then decided I was stupid for going to work feeling like sh*t and came back home. I blame the sick people at the office ...

you should have 4 little buttons in the,lower right hand corner of your box; edit, quote, a box with little squares, and a box with a with a clockwise arrow. for multi quote choose the third, the one with the little squares. when you have pulled all of the quotes out that you want, quote the very last post you have read regardless of whether or not you want to quote it, and follow me to below astra's post...

I have now quoted his post, so it brings your post, as well as any others I may want to talk about to the end of the thread. this works for quoting through one page of a thread or 15. when I get to the last quote, then, the one I am using to pull me to "real time" I can then choose to either erase the last quote, or continue to comment on it as well.

I went looking too, but only found one small reference to it. My use of the term, and its make-up, came through McNultey's Tea Company, which is where I usually buy mine from.

When you order it from McNultey's Tea Company, you don't use your make-up term, do you?

brewing a pot of Rooibos Cream Carmel. Yummy.

Morning all.

I had never heard of a Black Chinese tea until I heard of the Keemun. From what little reading I have done, the black Chinese teas are rare. The Green Tea is more traditional.

Latinandgreek · 02-02-2011, 09:46 AM

Cappuccino.

So, basically when you say you drink China Black you mean Yunnan China Black?

ProfCrash · 02-02-2011, 10:30 AM

OK so there are many Chinese Black Teas. I have no idea why we don't see as many of them outside of China as we do the other black teas but here is a list of a few of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_tea

Tanyang Gongfu 坦洋工夫 Tanyang Fujian Province China The king of the Fujian Artisan Red Teas. One of the three Famous Fujian Reds.

Zhenghe Gongfu 政和工夫 Zhenghe Fujian Province One of the three Famous Fujian Reds, with a slight honey flavor.

Bailin Gongfu白琳功夫白琳工夫 Bailin Fujian Province One of the three Famous Fujian Reds.

Zhengshan xiaozhong (Lapsang souchong) 正山小种 Mount Wuyi Fujian Province Dried over burning pine, thereby developing a strong smoky flavour.

Yin Junmei 银骏眉 Silver Steed Eyebrow Mount Wuyi Fujian Province A higher grade version of Zhengshan xiaozhong (aka. Lapsang Souchong)

Jin Junmei 金骏眉 Golden Steed Eyebrow MountWuyi Fujian Province One of the highest grade red teas in mainland China.

Keemun 祁門 Qimen Anhui Province China Famous Tea. The aroma of tea is fruity, with hints of pine, dried plum and floweriness.

Dian Hong 滇紅 Yunnan Province Well known for dark malty teas and golden bud teas.

Ying De Hong 英徳紅 Guangdong Province The tea has a cocoa-like aroma and a sweet aftertaste, one can find a peppery note.

Jiu Qu Hong Mei 九曲红梅 "Nine Winding Red Plum" Hu Fou district Hangzhou Zhejiang Province This tea is characterised by tight fishhook-like leaves with a lustrous black color. The infusion is brightly reddish and has a long smooth aftertaste.

Tibeti 藏茶 Ya'an Sichuan Province A unique tea that can also be called brick tea; it is well known as "Tibetan tea" for centuries.

I love Wikipedia for some things.
