What is the average cost of one pound of tea?
The price that occurs the most for a 1/4 lb of loose tea on the web site teapittsburgh.com is $5.99, so a pound would cost $23.96 but $19.99 is the price marketing would choose for the price of a pound. There are other teas that cost less and some that are well over a hundred dollars a pound.
How long should you let the tea bags steep?
Brewing tea is an art. Start with a warm tea pot. Pour a bit of hot water in it to warm it up and then pour out. Fill the pot with the number of cups of boiling water you wish. Then place one tea bag for each cup. Let them sit for about five minutes, more or less according to the strength of tea that you want. If you leave it too long it will get bitter. Remove tea bags and pour into cups! You can also do it with a single cup. I like to cover the cup with a saucer while it steeps.
Pour very hotwater over the tea bag. Dunk it up and down 2-3 times. Cover the tea container. Depending on how strong you want the tea depends on how long you keep the tea bag in the cup that is covered aout 5-7 minutes or steeped. Remove the tea bag and add lemon,or sugar, or cream. Or lemon and sugar or cream and sugar. (But no, no, no--don't add lemon AND cream because the lemon juice will curdle your cream.)
What happens if you drink spoiled ice tea?
Depending upon what spoiled it, you could become quite ill.
Where to buy Chinese oolong tea?
Oolong tea can be hard to obtain in some western countries, as it is less popular than black tea. However, it is widely available by mail-order, including numerous online retailers. Also, some specialty tea stores have good selections of oolong, if you are lucky enough to live near them. Lastly, one of the best places to buy oolong can be in Chinese stores or other Asian stores--owing to the fact that oolong is most popular in China and Taiwan.
I've attached a link of a site that lists a large number of providers of oolong tea. You can also find tea companies that sell oolong by simply searching the web for "oolong tea", or typing in certain named varieties if you know what kind of oolong you are looking for.
Should you add milk before tea or tea before milk?
If you are referring to adding milk before or after tea supposedly it does taste better before to a connoisseur. Adding the milk before tea, lets the milk warm slowly, cools the tea, so if you have a very fine porcelain cup it does not break from heat, prevents mild curdling and scalding and makes it easier to mix. Adding milk before the tea is the traditional English way of making tea.
If you are asking whether milk should be added to tea at all, that depends on the kind of tea and your taste. Typically green and white teas are not usually served with milk or sugar because of mild flavour. Strong black teas, spiced black teas, and herbal teas are more likely to be served with milk
Can you drink herbal slimming tea?
Probably a cup of white tea a day should not pose any threat to the child, but bear in mind that there is some caffeine in white tea, even if white tea is the tea with the least caffeine. Drinking rooibos tea on the other hand is advised as it helps the baby, soothes cramps and helps build a healthy immune system.
Americans consume 15.7 million gallons of beer and ale each day is this a lot?
Depends on how you look at it. 15.7 million gallons is indeed a lot.
But the U.S. population according to the 2000 census was 281,421,906.
That comes to .0557 gallons per person in the entire country. That is definitely NOT a lot.
However, some of those people are definitely underage. Let's assume (hah!) that no one drinks who is not legally allowed to. Further since some states allow drinking at 18 and others not until 21 (and since I'm not going to research THAT deeply) let's eliminate everybody under the age of 20.
Again, according to the 2000 census, there were 96,808,352 males and 104,140,229 females for a total of 200,948,581 people age 20 or older. I'm also NOT going to research how much men drink compared to women, so for the sake of the math (and my two typing fingers) let's just say it's about even.
SO - 15.7 million gallons of beer consumed by 200,648,581 people comes to only .0781 gallons per person. Still not a whole lot.
The table shown here: http://www.britannica.com/eb/table?tocId=9390287
(showing that my math is somewhat faulty) gives the consumption of various alcoholic beverages per capita in liters and will give you some idea of our consumption habits when related to the rest of the world. A liter is a little more than a quart - YOU do the math!
Hope this answers your question. I'm through. I'm going to go have a beer!
There is relatively little known about theanine, a naturally occurring chemical that is found in tea in relatively high concentrations. However, there is some evidence that theanine may have a number of positive effects on mind and body.
Among these potential benefits are a calming or relaxing effect, and also the possibility that theanine can protect against liver damage.
White tea is a type of true tea (from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis) which is minimally processed. White tea is usually considered as a category of its own, alongside green and black teas.
There is no agreed-upon definition of white tea, but one defining distinction between white tea and green tea is usually that white tea is allowed to wither or dry naturally, rather than being steamed or pan-fired to stop oxidation. This is why white tea has a more muted color, in contrast to the bright green color of green tea.
There is about 5% of caffeine by weight of the leaf material in tea plants, so 8.23g of tea should have 0.4115g of caffeine.
What happens when tea is put in hot water?
The process by which we allow the tea bag to sit and swell, releasing it's juices into the hot water undisturbed, is called steeping.

The leaves of uva ursi are used mainly for kidney and urinary infections, for which it is exceptionally effective, having both anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. It is a famous herbal cure for cystitis
What temperature should a cup of tea be before you drink it?
It may be a matter of personal choice, however as hot as you can manage is a good place to start. So the temperature would be sufficiently below boiling point of water and pleasant
Which is the best coffee substitute?
Roasted Chicory has been used for years.
Slow roasted rice is also popular as a substitute.
There are many coffee substitutes on the market and one must try out a few before finding one that is enjoyable but nothing really replaces that first sip of fresh brew in the morning.
Is it good to drink tea after eating?
You should just drink it. Eating a small amount of the powder shouldn't hurt you, but it would likely taste nasty. Eating a large amount of the powder could cause an overdose of the chemicals naturally contained in the tea.
it dose burn if it is hot!
- I think he/she means does instant coffee burn with hot water. The simple answer is no. Instant coffee has been roasted at 180 degrees so boiling water cannot burn it.
However the taste is distinctly different depending on the order in which it is made. People who prefer a mild creamier coffee should put the milk in first, whereas people like me who prefer a strong full bodied slightly bitter coffee should put the hot water in first.
Study the acidity of different samples of tea leaves-introduction?
A simple answer is a difference in the taste between different teas.
Who are the top ten tea companies in Russia?
I don't know all 10. But the leading is Orimi Trade (GreenField Tea, Princess Java, Gita, Noori, Tess ect.)
The second must be Unilever - Lipton.
Does Lipton tea stunt your growth?
No, it does not! I drink a lot of tea and I am a 5"8 girl at age 15. Coffe can stunt your growth, but not tea. It is proven that tea is good for you, of course in moderations.
