 Cup of Matcha tea and sweet cake Green tea's traditional role in Japanese society is as a drink for special guests and special occasions. Green tea is served in many companies during afternoon breaks. The Japanese have a custom of buying confectioneries for their colleagues when on vacations or business trips. These snacks are usually opened and enjoyed with green tea. If a Japanese company is visited on business, one is likely to be offered a cup of tea to sip during the meeting.

On the other hand, the tropical Indonesian water is unsafe to drink without boiling it first. So, serving a cup of plain hot tea is a gesture to the guest that "the water is clean and boiled".

 Turning the cups in a Chinese tea ceremony Due to the importance of tea in Chinese society and culture, tea houses can be found in most Chinese neighbourhoods and business districts. Chinese-style tea houses offer dozens of varieties of hot and cold tea concoctions. They also serve a variety of tea-friendly and/or tea-related snacks. Beginning in the late afternoon, the typical Chinese tea house quickly becomes packed with students and business people, and later at night plays host to insomniacs and night owls simply looking for a place to relax. Formal tea houses also exist. They provide a range of Chinese and Japanese tea leaves, as well as tea making accoutrements and a better class of snack food. Finally there are the tea vendors, who specialise in the sale of tea leaves, pots, and other related paraphernalia. Image File history File links Chinese_tea_ceremony. ...

In China, at least as early as the Tang Dynasty, tea was an object of connoisseurship; in the Song Dynasty formal tea-tasting parties were held, comparable to modern wine tastings. As much as in modern wine tastings, the proper vessel was important and much attention was paid to matching the tea to an aesthetically appealing serving vessel.

Historically there were two phases of tea drinking in China based on the form of tea that was produced and consumed, namely: tea bricks versus loose leaf tea.
Tea brick phase
 A tea brick made for the Russian Imperial Army of Czar Nicholas II Tea served prior to the Ming Dynasty was typically made from tea bricks. Upon harvesting, the tea leaves were either partially dried or were thoroughly dried and ground before being pressed into bricks. The pressing of Pu-erh is likely a vestige of this process. Tea bricks were also sometimes used as currency. To improve its resiliency as currency, some tea bricks were mixed with binding agents such as blood. Serving the tea from tea bricks required multiple steps: Image File history File links Size of this preview: 429 × 600 pixel Image in higher resolution (3936 × 5504 pixel, file size: 2. ...

- Toasting: Tea bricks are usually first toasted over a fire to destroy any mold or insects that may have burrowed into the tea bricks. Such infestation sometimes occurred since the bricks were stored openly in warehouses and storerooms. Toasting also likely imparted a pleasant flavour to the resulting tea.
- Grinding: The tea brick was broken up and ground to a fine powder resembling Japanese powdered tea (Matcha).
- Whisking: The powdered tea was mixed into hot water and frothed with a whisk before serving. The colour and patterns formed by the powdered tea were enjoyed while the mixture was imbibed.
The ground and whisked teas used at that time called for dark and patterned bowls in which the texture of the tea powder suspension could be enjoyed. The best of these bowls, glazed in patterns with names like oil spot, partridge-feather, hare's fur, and tortoise shell, are highly valued today. The patterned holding bowl and tea mixture were often lauded in the period's poetry with phrases such as "partridge in swirling clouds" or "snow on hare's fur". Tea in this period was enjoyed more for its patterns and less for its flavour. The practice of using powdered tea can still be seen in the Japanese Tea ceremony or Chado. The Japanese tea ceremony (cha-no-yu, chadō, or sadō) is a traditional ritual influenced by Zen Buddhism in which powdered green tea, or matcha (抹茶), is ceremonially prepared by a skilled practitioner and served to a small group of guests in a tranquil setting. ...
Loose-leaf tea phase After 1391, Emperor Hung-wu, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decreed that tributes of tea to the court were to be changed from brick to loose-leaf form. The imperial decree quickly transformed the tea drinking habits of the people, changing from whisked teas to steeped teas. The arrival of the new method for preparing tea also required the creation or use of new vessels. The Hongwu Emperor (October 21, 1328 - June 24, 1398), personal name Zhu Yuanzhang, was the founder of the Ming Dynasty of China, and the first emperor of this dynasty from 1368 to 1398. ...

 Five Yixing Clay Teapots - showing a variety of styles from formal to whimsical. - The tea pot was needed such that the tea leaves can be steeped separately from the drinking vessel for an infusion of proper concentration. The tea also needs to be kept warm and the tea leaves must be separated from the resulting infusion when required.
- Tea caddies and containers also became necessary in order to keep the tea and conserve its flavour. This was due to the fact that tea leaves do not preserve as well as tea bricks. Furthermore, the natural aroma of tea became the focus of the tea drinking due to the new preparation method.
- A change in Chinese tea drinking vessels was also evident at this point. Smaller bowls with plain or simple designs on the interior surfaces were favoured over the larger patterned bowls used for enjoying the patterns created by powdered teas. Tea drinking in small bowls and cups was likely adopted since it gathers and directs the fragrant steam from the tea to the nose and allows for better appreciation of the tea's flavour.
Teawares made with a special kind of purple clay (Zisha) from Yixing went on to develop during this period (Ming Dynasty). The structure of purple clay made it advantageous material with tiny and high density, preferred for heat preservation and perviousness. Simplicity and rusticity dominated the idea of purple clay teaware decoration art. It became soon the most popular method of performing Chinese tea ceremony , which often combines literature, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting in Chinese culture.

Myanmar Myanmar (formerly Burma) is probably the only country where tea is not only drunk but eaten as lahpet - pickled tea served with various accompaniments. [1] [2] It is called lahpetso (tea wet) in contrast to lahpet chauk (tea dry) or akyan gyauk (crude dry) with which green tea - yeinway gyan or lahpet yeigyan meaning plain or crude tea - is made. In the Shan State of Myanmar where most of the tea is grown, and also Kachin State, tea is dry-roasted in a pan before adding boiling water to make green tea. [1] It is the national drink in a predominantly Buddhist country with no national tipple other than the palm toddy. Tea sweetened with milk is known as lahpet yeigyo made with acho gyauk (sweet dry) and prepared the Indian way, brewed and sweetened with condensed milk.

Pubs and clubs, unlike in the West, have remained a minority pursuit so far. Teashops are found from the smallest village to major cities in every neighbourhood up and down the country.[2] They are open from the crack of dawn for breakfast till late in the evening, and some are open 24 hours catering for long distance drivers and travellers. One of the most popular teashops in Yangon in the late 1970s was called Shwe Hleiga (Golden Stairs) by popular acclaim as it was just a pavement stall, with low tables and stools for the customers, at the bottom of a stairwell in downtown Yangon.

Lahpet (pickeld tea) is served in one of two ways:
-
- Ahlu lahpet or Mandalay lahpet is served in a plate or traditionally in a shallow lacquerware dish called lahpet ok with a lid and divided into small compartments, pickled tea laced with sesame oil in a central circular compartment and other ingredients such as crisp fried garlic and peas, roasted peanuts, toasted sesame, crushed dried shrimp, preserved shredded ginger and fried coconut shavings in other compartments encircling it. It may be served as a snack or after a meal with green tea on special occasions or just for the family and visitors. Ahlu means alms and is synonymous with a novitiation ceremony called Shinbyu although lahpet is served in this form also at hsun gyway (offering a meal to monks) and weddings. Invitation to a shinbyu is traditionally by calling from door to door with a lahpet ok, and acceptance is indicated by its partaking.
- Lahpet thouk or Yangon lahpet is pickled tea salad very popular all over Myanmar especially with the womenfolk, and some teashops would have it on their menu as well as Burmese restaurants. It is prepared by mixing all the above ingredients without the coconut but in addition includes fresh tomatoes, garlic and green chilli, and is dressed with fish sauce, sesame or peanut oil, and a squeeze of lime. One of the most popular brands sold in packets is Ayeedaung lahpet from Mandalay.

Traditionally, the drink is made with a domestic brick tea and dri's milk (a dri is the female animal, whose male is called yak), then mixed in a churn for several minutes. Using a generic black tea, milk and butter, and shaking or blending work well too, although the unique taste of yak milk is difficult to replicate.

Tibet tea drinking has many rules. Such as when someone is invited over to a house for tea the host will pour some highland barley wine. The guest must then dip his finger in the wine and flick some away. This will be done three times to represent worship of heaven, earth, and Tibetan ancestors. The cup will then be refilled two more times and on the last time it will be emptied or the host will be insulted. After this the host will present a gift of butter wine to the guest. He is to take it with out touching the rim of the bowl. The guest will then pour a glass for himself and finish the glass or it will be seen a rude. There are two main teas that go with the tea culture. The teas are butter tea and sweet milk tea. These two teas are only found in Tibet. Other teas that the Tibetans enjoy are boiled black teas. There are many tea shops in Tibet selling these teas, which travelers often take for their main hydration source.

The nation-state of Pakistan was established in 1947 as one of the two successor states of British India, yet the land and its people possess an extensive and continuous history that can be traced back to very ancient times. ...

 Tea harvest on the eastern shores of the Black Sea, before 1915 In Russia, it is customary to drink tea brewed separately in a teapot and diluted with freshly boiled water ('pair-of-teapots tea', 'чай парой чайников'). The traditional implement for boiling water for tea used to be the samovar (and sometimes it still is, though usually electric). The podstakannik ('подстаканник'), or tea glass holder (literally "thing under the glass"), is also a part of Russian tea tradition, used nowadays primarily on trains and in inexpensive hotels, because broken glasses are cheaper to replace. Tea is a family event, and is usually served after each meal with sugar (one to three teaspoonfuls per cup) and lemon (but without milk), and an assortment of jams, pastries and confections.

Czech Republic Specific tea culture developed in the Czech Republic in recent years, including many styles of tearooms. Despite having the same name, they are mostly different from the British style tea rooms. Pure teas are usually prepared with respect to their country of origin and good tea palaces may offer 80 teas from almost all tea-producing countries. Different tea rooms have also created various blends and methods of preparation and serving.

Slovakia Less visible than in the Czech Republic, tea culture also exists in Slovakia. Although considered an underground environment by many, tea rooms continue to pop up almost in every middle-sized town.

Iran Tea found its way to Persia (Iran) from India and soon became the national drink. The whole part of northern Iran along the shores of the Caspian Sea is suitable for the cultivation of tea. Especially in the Gilan province on the slopes of Alborz large areas are under tea cultivation and millions of people work in the tea industry for their livelihood. That region covers a large part of Iran's need for tea. Iranians have one of the highest per capita rate of tea consumption in the world and from old times every street has had a Châikhâne (Tea House). Châikhâne's are still an important social place. Iranians traditionally drink tea by pouring it into the saucer and putting a lump of sugar in the mouth before drinking the tea. Guilan (گیلان in Persian) is one of the 30 provinces of Iran, during antique time known as part of Hyrcania, with a population of approximately 2 million and an area of 14,700 sq. ...

 Turkish tea, served in a typical glass -
Turkish tea or Çay is produced on the eastern Black Sea coast, which has a mild climate with high precipitation and fertile soil. Turkish tea is typically prepared using two stacked kettles especially designed for tea preparation. Water is brought to a boil in the larger lower kettle and then some of the water is used to fill the smaller kettle on top and steep several spoons of loose tea leaves, producing a very strong tea. When served, the remaining water is used to dilute the tea on an individual basis, giving each consumer the choice between strong ("koyu"/dark) or weak ("açık"/light). Tea is drunk from small glasses to enjoy it hot in addition to show its colour, with lumps of beetroot sugar.[3] To a lesser extent than in other Muslim countries, tea replaces both alcohol and coffee as the social beverage. Within Turkey the tea is usually known as Rize tea. Image File history File linksMetadata Download high resolution version (3072x2048, 2189 KB) Summary Turkish tea, served in a typical glass. ...

Egypt Tea is the national drink in Egypt, it holds a special position that even coffee can't rival. Tea packed and sold in Egypt is almost exclusively imported from Kenya and Sri Lanka. The Egyptian government considers tea a strategic crop and runs large tea plantations in Kenya. Green tea is only a recent arrival to Egypt (only in the late 1990's did green tea become affordable) and is highly unpopular. Green tea (绿茶) is tea that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. ...
Egyptian tea comes in two varieties: Koshary and Saiidi. Koshary is popular in Lower (Northern) Egypt, Koshary tea is prepared using the traditional method of steeping black tea in boiled water and letting it set for a few minutes. It is almost always sweetened with cane sugar and is often flavored with fresh mint leaves. Adding milk is also common. Koshary tea is usually light with less than a half teaspoonful per cup considered to be near the high end.

Saiidi tea is often black even in liquid form. Black tea Black tea is more oxidized than the green, oolong and white varieties; all four varieties are made from leaves of Camellia sinensis. ...
Tea is a vital part of daily life and folk etiquette in Egypt. Most people can't function without a morning shot of tea, and drinking tea after lunch is compulsory. A visit to anyone of any socioeconomic level entails a compulsory cup of tea. A nickname for tea in Egypt is "duty", as serving tea to a visitor is considered a duty, anything beyond is a nicety.

Tea was introduced to Morocco in the 18th century through trade with Europe. The queen Elizabeth I of England intended to help the tea pot manufacturers to sell British china (porcelain) tea ware and accessories to Morocco by introducing the afternoon tea custom to the Moroccan palace. The queen sent many gifts to the king of Morocco, including some delicate tea pots and cups. The palace quickly adopted the ceremony, and within one hundred years the tea drinking habits became national. However, possibly due to the hot weather of Morocco, or the relatively cheap price of the green tea, the African country did not follow up the black tea tradition from the Britain.

Germany While Germany is a mainly coffee drinking country, the region of East Friesland is noted for its consumption of tea and its tea culture. Strong black tea is served whenever there are visitors to an East Frisian home or other gathering, as well as with breakfast, mid-afternoon, and mid-evening. The traditional preparation is as follows: First of all, a kluntjes, a rock candy sugar that melts slowly, is added to the empty cup (allowing multiple cups to be sweetened) then tea is poured over the kluntje. Finally a heavy cream is added to flavour the tea. It is served without a spoon and drank unstirred, i. e. in three tiers: In the beginning they predominantly taste the cream, then the tea and finally the kluntje at the bottom of the cup. Stirring the tea would blend all three tiers into one and spoil the traditional tea savouring. The tea is generally served with small cookies during the week and cakes during special occasions or on weekends as a special treat. The tea is rumored to cure headaches, stomach problems, and stress, among many other ailments.

In 1750, terrains ranging from the fields of Capelas to the ones of Porto Formoso on the island of São Miguel were used for the first trial crops of tea. They delivered 10 kg of black tea and 8 kg of green tea. It was a century later, with the introduction of skilled workers from the Macau Region of China in 1883, that production became significant and the culture expanded. Following the instructions of these workers, the species Jasminum grandiflorum and Malva vacciones were introduced to give 'nobility' to the tea aroma, though only the Jasminum was used.

The Commonwealth and one-time British Colonies
Great Britain The British are one of the largest per capita tea consumers in the world with each person consuming on average 2.1 kg per year [3]. The popularity of tea dates back to the 19th Century when India was part of the British Empire, and British interests controlled tea production in the subcontinent. As Tea spread throughout England people started to have tea gardens and tea dances. These would include watching fireworks or a dinner party and dance would be concluded with a nice evening tea. The tea gardens lost value after World War II but tea dances are still held today in England.

Tea is usually black tea served with milk (not cream) and sometimes with sugar. Strong tea served with milk and two teaspoons of sugar, usually in a mug, is commonly referred to as builder's tea. For most people in Britain tea drinking is not the delicate, refined cultural expression that much of the world imagines—a cup (or more often a mug) of tea is something drunk several times a day quite unceremoniously.

Industrial Revolution Some scholars suggest the tea played a role in British industrial revolution. Afternoon tea possibly became a way to increase the number of hours labourers could work in factories; the stimulants in the tea, accompanied by sugary snacks would give workers energy to finish out the day's work. Further, tea helped alleviate some of the consequences of the urbanisation that accompanied the industrial revolution: drinking tea required boiling one's water, thereby killing water-borne diseases like dysentery, cholera, and typhoid [4].

Commonwealth countries Afternoon tea and the variant cream tea (called Devonshire Tea in Australia) is the staple "tea ceremony" of the English speaking Commonwealth countries, available in homes and tea rooms throughout the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Africa and New Zealand, although in most of these places it is an antiquated, and no longer daily routine. Note that "tea" may also refer to a meal, or dinner, in Commonwealth nations, regardless of the beverage served with the meal. This could lead to confusion over the meaning of an invitation to "tea". The slang term "cuppa" (as in a "cup of tea"), is used in Australia and New Zealand possibly to counteract this confusion, but is more likely just an abbreviation.

Prior to World War II, the US preference for tea was equally split between green tea and black tea, 40% and 40%, with the remaining 20% preferring oolong tea. The war cut off the United States from its primary sources of green tea, China and Japan, leaving it with tea almost exclusively from British-controlled India, which produces black tea. After the war, nearly 99 percent of tea consumed was black tea. Green, oolong, and white teas have recently become more popular again, and are often touted as health foods.

The non-alcoholic version commonly know today was popularised at the 1904 World's Fair. Sweet Tea is common in the South and refers to heavily sweetened iced tea. In the north and west, iced tea is typically served unsweetened, although sweetener is available to stir into the already cold tea, although this results in a less sweetened beverage as the cold tea will not dissolve sugar quickly.
Iced tea can be purchased like soda, in canned or bottled form at vending machines and convenience stores; usually, this pre-made tea is sweetened, and sometimes some other flavorings, such as lemon or raspberry, are added. Many restaurants dispense iced tea brewed throughout the day from upright containers. In the United States, about 80% of the tea consumed is served cold, or iced.
