How much do you know about Chinese tea
I know many people at home and abroad enjoy drinking Chinese tea and Chinese tea culture has a long history. There are many different kinds of Chinese tea and different people have different tastes in tea. Chinese tea is very popular around the world, but tea-growing and tea-making processes are very complex and highly
technical.
Read the article and leaflet from a magazine about tea.
Tea: China's gift to the world茶:中国馈赠给世界的礼物
Tea is currently the world’s most popular drink, only after water. However, there was a time when tea was known only to the Chinese. So, how did tea originate in China And how did it get to conquer the world to the extent that people often describe something they really like as their “cup of tea” 它又是如何征服世界,以至于人们经常把钟爱之物称为他们的“那杯茶”?

While we know that tea drinking started in China, its true origin remains something of a mystery. Legend has it that about 5,000 years ago, Shennong came across tea when dried leaves blew into a pot of boiling water. Following his discovery, tea was used as medicine, included in meals and later offered as a refreshing drink to officials and noblemen. Eventually, it became a common drink enjoyed and embraced by all Chinese people.茶被发现后,用来入药,佐餐,后来又作为官员贵族的提神饮品。最终,它成了所有中国人都喜爱和接纳的日常饮品。

Over the years, as tea drinking became an important part of China’s rich culture, the love of tea inspired many people to write about it. The great Tang poet Du Fu described his tea-drinking experience in poetic language, “On the high place the setting sun does shine. In the spring breeze, I sip my tea, sweet and fine.” 古往今来,随着饮茶成为灿烂中华文化的重要组成部分,对茶的热爱也启发了许多人以茶为题的写作。唐代大诗人杜甫以诗意的语言描述其饮茶经历:“落日平台上,春风啜茗时。”

Lu Yu, a tea master, wrote The Classic of Tea, which remains the earliest and most famous detailed study on tea in the world, covering everything anyone could possibly want to know about Chinese tea.
茶学大家陆羽所著《茶经》是世界上现存最早、最著名、最详尽的茶学专著,涵盖了任何人可能想知道的有关中国茶的各种信息。

It is then not surprising that the beauty of tea was eventually revealed to a wider world. The Tang and Song Dynasties needed strong horses from Xizang, where tea enjoyed enormous popularity. As a result, the Tea Horse Road was born.
茶之美终将名扬四海,自然是不足为奇的。唐宋两朝需要强壮的藏马,而茶深受西藏人民的欢迎,于是茶马古道应运而生。

Over time, the gift of tea was further delivered to Western Asia. Meanwhile, different sea routes also helped spread tea to other parts of the world. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Japanese monks came to study in China and took with them tea seeds and tea-making customs when returning to Japan. Around the 1600s, tea was shipped to
Europe from China by Portuguese and Dutch sea traders.渐渐地,茶的馈赠进一步传至西亚。同时,诸多海路也有助于将茶传播到世界其他地方。早在唐代,有日本僧人来中国求学,回国时就带回茶籽和制茶工艺。大约在17 世纪,茶叶又被葡萄牙和荷兰海商从中国运到了欧洲。

The well-known writer Lin Yutang summed up the power of tea when he said, “There is something in the nature of tea that leads us into a world of quiet contemplation of life.” Tea drinking is not just about refreshing the mind and body but also about appreciating the harmony between man and nature. 茶有何力量,著名作家林语堂一语道出:“茶之为物,其特性引领我们进入一个默想人生的世界。”饮茶不仅关乎提神醒脑,而且关乎体悟人与自然的和谐。

In the title, “hillside” may mean the place where tea grows, and “teacup” may mean the container in which tea is served. The leaflet may include such information as growing tea and drinking tea.
From hillside to teacup
Growing tea
Tea plants grow best in warm, humid regions with
well-drained soil. Consequently, they grow well on
steep hillsides where heavy rain can easily drain away.
茶树在温暖湿润、土壤排水好的地区长势最好。因此,在陡峭山坡,大雨能顺利排走,很适合茶树生长。
drain (sth) (from/out of sth)/ (sth) (away/off)(使)流走,流出
China boasts many tea-growing areas, which can be divided into four distinct regions. Among them the south-west tea-growing region is the oldest while
the region south of the Yangtze River produces the most tea in China.
中国茶叶种植区众多,可划分为四个不同区域。其中西南茶区历史最悠久,而江南茶区中国产量最大。

Tea bushes are grown in rows and cut to a height of about one metre, to allow tea pickers to easily harvest tea leaves. It takes up to five years for a tea bush to come to
maturity, at which time the bud and top leaves are picked every few days. The tea-picking season may start as early as February and extend until late November.茶树成排生长,修剪至一米左右的高度,以方便采茶者采摘茶叶。一棵茶树成熟最多要花五年的时间,届时每隔几天采一次芽和顶叶。采茶季可早至 2 月份开始,一直持续到 11 月下旬。

The process of turning tea leaves into the tea we love to drink is both complicated and highly technical. There are commonly between two and seven procedures involved in the processing of the fresh tea leaves.
将茶叶变成我们喜欢喝的茶,其过程复杂,技艺高超。新鲜茶叶的加工过程通常涉及二至七道工序。

Tea can be enjoyed in many different ways. For example, the English drink their tea with milk, the Japanese enjoy powdered green tea, and in Morocco, mint tea(薄荷茶) is preferred. Tea drinking has also become part of many countries’ culture. The English have their “afternoon tea”, and in China, rightfully regarded as the birthplace of tea, tea drinking can be both a common daily practice and a near ceremonial experience.

●History and culture
The origins of tea and coffee are not fully known and there are legends about how they were discovered by accident. The history of tea is much longer than that of coffee: it is commonly believed that tea was discovered about 5,000 years ago and coffee in the 9th century. Preparing and presenting tea could involve more complex procedures than making and drinking coffee, and sometimes a “tea ceremony” is held.
