In order to store fresh mint, you should first wash the mint, towel dry it, and then leave it to air dry on a fresh towel for several more hours (1-4). Spread the mint out on the towel, then roll the towel up so that the roll is in the perpendicular to the shafts of the mint, similar to the way one would roll a piece of lined paper the "hamburger way". Make sure that the resulting roll ensconces each individual stem of mint between two layers of towel. To store the resulting roll, rubber band the ends and wrap a plastic bag around it loosely. Keep refrigerated. Do not place the mint in the bag. This way of storing fresh mint minimizes the moisture of the mint and enables the mint to stay without and black spots for over a week and a half. Remember to pluck off any leaves that already exhibit black spots or spoiling.

Then comes the desert: usually fruit or something sweet like pudding and of course, coffee and some people have a little bit of liquor after it.

When do we have only one dish? For example, paella: it contains the characterisitics of 1st and 2nd, that is rice and fish or chicken, so it is considered to be both in one.

Seed germination, sowing instructions for Tea. Camellia sinensis is easy to grow from seeds. Tropical shrub or tree. The hard seed coat should be carfully filed or nicked a little to improve watering, then soaked in warm water for 24 hours. Sow in moist and warm slight acid soil. It usually germinates in 1 - 3 months. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse or indoors.

It prefers a wet summer and a cool but not very frosty dry winter.

Tea, whether loose-leaf, or in tea bags, loses its flavor slowly over time, and in some rare cases, can spoil or develop "off" qualities in the aroma or flavor. The rate at which this happens depends on how the tea is stored, and what variety it is. Many tea retailers overstate the degree to which tea loses its flavor, because they have an interest in continually selling their product. Most stale tea becomes somewhat bland but is still perfectly drinkable.

The aroma chemicals in tea are volatile and will escape into the air if the tea is not stored in an airtight container. For most teas, then, it is best to store the tea in an airtight container. The tea must be completely dry, or else it can mold, causing the tea to spoil.

One exception to these recommendations are aged teas or teas that you plan on aging. These include Pu-erh tea, and a few other types of tea.

They have active bacterial and mold cultures that enhance the quality of the tea if it is stored properly.

The beverage we have commonly come to call tea is the result of steeping the leaves of the tea tree (Camelia sinensis) in boiling water. All teas are from this common plant, it is the manner in which it is harvested and processed for market that makes the different kinds of tea.

Green - freshly picked tea leaves are streamed, rolled on mats and heated. Steaming makes the leaves pliable and de-activates the enzymes that cause fermentation. Rolling releases the flavours and heating stabilises the tea.

Black - Fermentation is what make black tea black, gives it strength and richness. The leaves are placed in a warm moist room were they wilt and ferment, they are then rolled and eventually fired. The firing stops the fermentation process and keeps the tea from spoiling.

Oolong - is semi-fermented, causing the tea to be stronger than green tea but more delicately flavoured than the black tea.

English Breakfast is a style of black tea that is defined not by its ingredients, but rather, by its characteristics. Its actual composition varies, and in general, it tends to be a blend of teas from different regions, although it rarely can be a single-origin tea. English Breakfast tea is what the English call just "tea". Normally, English Breakfast tea is a blend made exclusively from black teas.

The most common types of tea used in English Breakfast blends include Ceylon tea (from Sri Lanka), Assam (from India), and teas from Kenya, with perhaps some Keemun (from China), although many other types of teas can be blended in too.

The pure teas that resemble modern English Breakfast the most are usually Ceylon teas, although Keemun more closely resembles some of the older styles of English Breakfast tea.
