There are four basic steps to selecting quality tea.1.Observe.Good or fresh tea is bright in colour and tight in shape, but poor tea is loose and dull.The leaves should be dry enough to make a rustling noise in the palm.2.Smell.The fragrance of the tea should be pure without a burnt taste or sour smell.Good tea, especially fresh tea, has a natural aroma like orchid or jasmine while poor tea smells stale.3.Taste.You can taste the leaves by chewing them carefully.Good tea leaves have a fresh mellowness.You can also infuse some tea to see if the leaves extend smoothly and sink slowly to the bottom.Good tea liquor is emerald green or golden.It has a little bitterness with a lasting sweet aftertaste.Stale tea liquor has an unpleasant smell and is dark brown in colour.4.See the infused tea leaves.The infused tea leaves should be even without impurity.After you buy good tea, keep it in a dry, cool place and avoid direct sunshine.An airtight container is a good choice.Avoid putting teas of different aromas too close.Choose the best answer A, B, C or D to complete each statement based on Passage B.16.The colour of good or fresh tea should be _____.A.darkB.brownC.dullD.bright17.The fragrance of tea should be _____ without a burnt taste or sour smell.A.pureB.naturalC.freshD.bitter18._____ tea liquor has an unpleasant smell and is dark brown in colour.A.StaleB.FreshC.QualityD.Good19.The infused tea leaves should be _____ without impurity.A.naturalB.sweetC.bitterD.even20.Good tea must be kept in a _____.A.dry and cold placeB.dry and cold place with a little sunshineC.dry and cool place with direct sunshineD.dry and cool place without direct sunshine
There are mainly six types of tea in the traditional Chinese concept, namely, black tea, green tea, white tea, oolong tea, yellow tea and dark tea.Black tea is fully fermented, so its leaves and tea soup are red.The flavour and aroma of black tea are rich and robust with a little bitterness.Famous black tea includes Qimen black tea, Tanyang Gongfu, etc.Green tea is non-fermented and the tea soup is green.It has a more delicate and fresher flavour than black tea.Famous green tea includes West Lake Longjing Tea, Bi Luo Chun Tea, etc.White tea, originated in Fujian Province, is probably the rarest tea.It is slightly fermented, just left to dry as it is.White tea has a lighter colour than other types of tea with a subtle flavor.One of the most famous white teas is White Tip Silver Needle.Oolong tea is partially fermented and has the most difficult tea processing.The result is a distinctive flavour, which combines the freshness of green tea and the mellowness of black tea.Famous oolong tea includes Tie Guan Yin, Da Hong Pao, etc.Yellow tea is relatively unknown.It is fermented.In the tea processing, the leaves are mounded and dried by the heat of fermentation.The flavour is close to green and white teas.Famous yellow tea includes Junshan Yinzhen, Huoshan Huangya, etc.Dark tea is post-fermented, which gives the leaves a dark black colour.The tea soup has a strong aroma with a thick and robust flavour.Famous dark tea includes Hunan dark tea, Yunnan Pu-erh tea, etc.Choose the best answer A, B, C or D to complete each statement based on Passage B.11._____ tea is non-fermented.A.YellowB.GreenC.BlackD.White12._____ tea is slightly fermented and the rarest kind of all.A.GreenB.WhiteC.YellowD.Black13._____ tea is partially fermented and combines the freshness of green tea and the mellowness of black tea.A.WhiteB.BlackC.YellowD.Oolong14.The flavour of _____ tea is similar to green and white teas.A.whiteB.blackC.yellowD.oolong15.The soup of _____ tea has a strong aroma with a thick flavour.A.whiteB.blackC.yellowD.dark
Is it the different types of tea plants that determine the colour and aroma of tea? The answer is no.Actually, it is the processing of tea that finally decides the tea types.For example, black tea requires 100% oxidation and green tea requires almost no oxidation.So tea processing is quite an important factor in the production of tea.Anyway, the normal processing of tea includes the following four basic steps:1.New leaves are spread in order to reduce water content until they are pliable enough to be rolled.This process is called withering.2.The second step is rolling the withered leaves.Oils and extra moisture are released.This process can be done with machinery or by hand.3.The third step is called oxidation or fermentation.In this process the leaves turn from green to bright copper in colour.This step decides what type of tea we want.4.The last step is drying the leaves to stop the oxidation process.The leaves should be dried thoroughly without burning.Decide each statement is T (true) or F (false) based on Passage B.6.The processing of tea decides the tea types.7.Green tea requires a little oxidation.8.Withering makes the tea leaves release oils and water.9.Rolling the withered leaves can be done only with machinery.10.Burning the leaves is the last step of tea processing.

问答题Practice 3 Tea, that most quintessential of English drinks, is a relative latecomer to British shores. Although the custom of drinking tea dates back to the third millennium BC in China, it was not until the mid-17th century that the beverage first appeared in England. The use of tea spread slowly from its Asian homeland, reaching Europe by way of Venice around 1560, although Portuguese trading ships may have made contact with the Chinese as early as 1515. It was the Portuguese and Dutch traders who first imported tea to Europe, with regular shipments by 1610. England was a latecomer to the tea trade, as the East India Company did not capitalize on tea’s popularity until the mid-18th century. Coffee Houses Curiously, it was the London coffee houses that were responsible for introducing tea to England. One of the first coffee house merchants to offer tea was Thomas Garway, who owned an establishment in Exchange Alley. He sold both liquid and dry tea to the public as early as 1657. Three years later he issued a broadsheet advertising tea at ￡6 and ￡10 per pound (ouch!), touting its virtues at “making the body active and lusty”, and “preserving perfect health until extreme old age”. Tea gained popularity quickly in the coffee houses, and by 1700 over 500 coffee houses sold it. This distressed the tavern owners, as tea cut their sales of ale and gin, and it was bad news for the government, who depended upon a steady stream of revenue from taxes on liquor sales. By1750 tea had become the favored drink of Britain’s lower classes. Taxation on Tea Charles II did his bit to counter the growth of tea, with several acts forbidding its sale in private houses. This measure was designed to counter sedition, but it was so unpopular that it was impossible to enforce it. A 1676 act taxed tea and required coffee house operators to apply for a license. This was just the start of government attempts to control, or at least, to profit from the popularity of tea in Britain. By the mJd-18th century the duty on tea had reached an absurd119%. This heavy taxation had the effect of creating a whole new industry-tea smuggling. Smuggling Tea Ships from Holland and Scandinavia brought tea to the British coast, then stood offshore while smugglers met them and unloaded the precious cargo in small vessels. The smugglers, often local fishermen, snuck the tea inland through underground passages and hidden paths to special hiding places. One of the best hiding places was in the local parish church! Even smuggled tea was expensive, however, and therefore extremely profitable, so many smugglers began to adulterate the tea with other substances, such as willow, licorice, and sloe leaves. Used tea leaves were also retried and added to fresh leaves.
