What part of the plant is used in tea production?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically the most commonly harvested parts of the tea plant (camellia sinesis) are the Orange Pekoe (newest bud), the Pekoe (two maturing leaves beneath the orange pekoe), and the Souchong (most recently fully matured leaves beneath the pekoe). There are exceptions to this however. This is dependent on several key factors, which are as follows... The origin or prefecture in which the tea is being harvested, the style of both the tea and its processing also matter. And then there is quality. Lower quality teas which can be purchased in grocery stores can use many other parts of the plant as well. Even higher quality teas, typically whites, can use stems as well. Hopefully, this answers the question appropriately.

When tea was made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Tea was first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shennong in 2737 BC. It is said that the emperor liked his drinking water boiled before he drank it so it would be clean, so that is what his servants did. One day, on a trip to a distant region, he and his army stopped to rest. A servant began boiling water for him to drink, and a dead leaf from the wild tea bush fell into the water. It turned a brownish color, but it was unnoticed and presented to the emperor anyway. The emperor drank it and found it very refreshing, and cha (tea) was born.

How do you make the perfect cup of tea?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One Answer:Different types of tea are best brewed in different ways. Brewing is a matter of personal taste. In general, black teas are usually brewed with boiling water, and green and white teas with water that has cooled somewhat below boiling. The best way to discover how to make the perfect cup of loose tea is to start with high-quality loose tea, and experiment brewing it in different ways: change the quantity of leaf used, the steeping time, and the water temperature, until you find the combination that works best for you. Another Answer:Fill your kettle with freshly drawn cold water and bring to the boil, add about a cup full of this hot water to your T pot, swill the water around for a couple of seconds to warm the pot, then pour this water away.

Now add your tea to the pot, one teaspoon of loose tea or one tea bag per person plus 'one for the pot', pour in your freshly boiled water, stir, place on the lid and leave to stand for 3 - 4 minutes.

Add a little milk to you T cup, pour in the freshly brewed tea, add sugar if you prefer sweet tea, then sip the tea whilst it is still hot, enjoy.........

What type of tea do the Japanese drink?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Japanese drink almost exclusively green tea, but drink many different types of it.

In Japan tea can be drunk hot or cold, but hot is the most popular way. Hot tea is nearly always drunk plain. Other popular types include barley tea or "mugicha," oolong tea, black tea and mixed black and herb teas. All of these can be bought in vending machines.

There are tons of other types, too, that can be bought dry and are made from different varieties and parts of the tea plant: for example, "gyokuro" is the very top grade of green tea, "kariganecha" is made from the stems instead of the leaves, "hojicha" is roasted, and sometimes brown rice is brewed with tea to make "genmaicha." A basic type of green tea, common in Japan but less common in the West is called "bancha".

Where did tea oringinally come from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Asia and it is still the primary tea growing area. Only one place in the United States grows tea and it is an island off the coast of South Carolina. The plants were brought there in the 1700's and are still growing. When growing tea the tops of the plant are cut and the rest of the plant is not cut, so the plant keeps growing.
