The Black Tea and Red Leaves of Mountain Emei are Waiting for You!

[ask-barbatos]

While the purity of Camellia Sinensis is a marvel in itself, the world of tea extends far beyond the simple leaf that is often called a True Tea. Let's talk about flavor-infused tea.

Infused tea

The practice of infusing tea with flavors dates back centuries, with evidence of flavored teas found in ancient Chinese and Indian cultures. Early methods of infusion involved adding herbs, spices, or flowers directly to the tea leaves during steeping. Over time, more sophisticated techniques were developed, such as extracting essential oils from aromatic plants and adding them to the tea.

Today, infused teas are typically created using one of two methods:

Direct Infusion: The most common method involves adding dried herbs, spices, or fruits directly to the tea leaves before steeping. This allows the flavors to infuse naturally into the tea, creating a harmonious blend.

Flavoring Oils: Essential oils extracted from aromatic plants can be added to the tea after steeping. This method allows for precise control over the intensity of the flavor and can be used to create subtle or bold infusions.

One of the most renowned flavor-infused teas is Earl Grey, a black tea infused with the fragrant oil of bergamot orange. The citrusy notes of bergamot dance harmoniously with the rich, full-bodied flavor of black tea, creating a truly exquisite beverage. Earl Grey is a versatile tea that can be enjoyed hot or iced, and it pairs well with a variety of foods.

Aside from Earl Grey, the world of flavor-infused teas is vast and varied. From the delicate floral notes of jasmine tea to the bold fruity flavors of berry teas, there is a flavor combination to suit every palate.

Pictured above: (top) Jasmine infused green tea from Fujian Tea Import & Export Co., (bottom) Blood Orange herbal tea from Harney & Sons Fine Teas. [Blend: Apple pieces, rose hips, hibiscus, beetroot, orange peel, orange flavor, marigold petals, safflower petals.]

Some of the other popular flavor-infused teas include:

Jasmine Tea: A green tea infused with jasmine flowers, offering a delicate floral aroma and a slightly sweet taste.

Chai Tea: A black tea spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger, creating a warm and comforting blend.

Fruit Teas: A variety of teas infused with fruit flavors, such as strawberry, raspberry, or peach, providing a sweet and tangy taste.

Fruit teas are excellent for cold-brewed iced tea. I will cover cold-brewing later, so please look forward to that.

When choosing a flavor-infused tea, consider your personal preferences and the occasion. A delicate floral tea might be perfect for a relaxing afternoon, while a bold and spicy chai tea could be a comforting choice on a cold day.

The choice of infusion depends on the desired flavor profile and the characteristics of the ingredients being used. For example, delicate floral flavors may be best achieved using direct infusion, while strong, bold flavors can be created using flavoring oils.

If you wish to create your own infused tea, that will have to be a separate post. For now, it is enough to be able to identify the tea you are brewing so that you can handle it appropriately.

Brewing infused teas requires a balance of technique and intuition. First, identify the ingredients. When brewing a cup of tea, it's good to know what temperature and length of time to steep your tea for.

A tea labeled "Peach" may be a white tea with peach flavoring, and it may be best to brew it at a temperature appropriate for white tea. Blends may consist of varying ingredients that require different temperatures, so some experimentation may be in order to find the best brewing temperature to get the most of each flavor.

Herbal tea

Beyond the True Tea, there lies a world of herbal teas, each offering a unique blend of flavors and health benefits. Herbal teas are made from a variety of plants, including herbs, spices, and fruits. They are often enjoyed for their medicinal properties, as well as their delicious taste.

As no part of an herbal tea contains the Camellia Sinensis plant, these teas are not considered "True Teas". That does not mean we cannot enjoy them, however.

For the most part, an herbal tea will not contain any caffeine, unlike the tea produced from the Camellia Sinensis plant. This makes them more suitable to enjoy in the evening or late hours.

Pictured above: (from top to bottom) Roses, honeysuckle, chrysanthemums, mint and lavender.

Some popular herbal teas include:

Chamomile Tea: Made from chamomile flowers, this tea is known for its calming and relaxing properties.

Peppermint Tea: Made from peppermint leaves, this tea is refreshing and aids digestion.

Ginger Tea: Made from ginger root, this tea is warming and can help soothe an upset stomach.

Hibiscus Tea: Made from hibiscus flowers, this tea has a tart, fruity flavor and is rich in antioxidants.

As with many blends, it is helpful to experiment a little with the temperature and steep time to get the most of your tea. Intuition will follow experience.

The ideal steeping temperature for infused teas and herbal teas can vary depending on the specific ingredients and desired flavor intensity. However, here are some general guidelines:

Delicate floral or fruity teas: 175-185°F (79-85°C)

Bold, spicy teas: 195-212°F (90-100°C)

Herbal teas: 175-212°F (79-100°C), depending on the specific herbs used

Serving suggestions: Cream is usually not served with fruit teas, as the acidity in some will cause the milk to curdle. Lemon slices are commonly served with Earl Grey, however, as with the fruit tea, lemon can also cause cream to curdle. Sugar or honey are appropriate for nearly any tea.

It's always a good idea to experiment with different temperatures to find the perfect brew for your taste. I hope this has been informational and helpful to my students who wish to become better acquainted with tea.

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

saw you talking about tea the other day and now i'm intrigued 👀 any flavors you're particularly fond of? asking for a friend also. please do ramble about it bc it's delightful :D

Jay! Hi! Fellow tea lover?

Hm… I love lots of teas, but really I prefer simple teas to anything super decadent or elaborate. I don’t ever add anything to my teas unless I’m sick (then I’ll add a bit of honey).

My go-to is just a simple green or peppermint tea, though I’m also a huge fan of spiced chai and earl grey. I adore jasmine tea - jasmine is probably my favourite, but it has to be a good jasmine, so I don’t have it all the time (again, it gets expensive). I always have some green or peppermint tea on hand though - a quality cup is always nice but I don’t as much mind if these are the cheaper kind.

I’m not a huge fruit tea person, though I did have a peach white tea once - that one was lovely cold - and of course a good lemon ginger is always nice. If I’m having bubble tea though, I always go for a mango or lychee green tea if they have it!

I have to say that I can’t remember what pu’erh tea was like - I know it was interesting and I liked it, but I’d need to try it again I think to recall it properly. I haven’t found a rooibos tea I’ve been particularly crazy about, but it’s nice too, just not what I’d gravitate towards.

If you want a sweet or dessert type tea, then any oolong is great, but I think I’m spoiled for that wuyi oolong now hahaha. I’ve had a vanilla black tea - it’s really good. I’d highly recommend that one. I also have this sweet apple-cinnamon tea with nuts. I don’t have it super often, as I’m not a fan of sugary teas but this one is a nice dessert on its own. It’s very nutty which makes it pretty unique.

When I’m sick, I’ve had a couple good teas. One I have for colds is a eucalyptus-mint. I recommend having this one only when you are very congested because boy is it strong. Tastes amazing though. Also my mom had several Korean friends when I was little, so I have fond memories of her making yujacha at their urging when I wasn’t feeling well as a young kid, and boricha for us to put in the fridge and drink cold. I love both.

I don’t usually have chamomile at home, but this is largely because on days when I’m really incredibly stressed (like, shaking with anxiety, actively spiralling, kind of stressed), I like to go for a walk in the evening and pick up a chamomile from a nearby café to take back with me. It’s an indulgence that way.

Other cool teas I have tried:

Butterfly pea flower tea: More of a novelty than anything but this tea is bright blue and changes to red when you add citric acid. It’s a natural pH indicator!

Lavender black tea: Incredibly good. This was another gift from my mom a few years back. Very nice in the evening.

Mushroom tea: These tend to be incredibly overpriced due to purported health benefits so I’ve only ever had samples but honestly? The ones I’ve had are very nice, a smooth, rich flavour. Not convinced they’re worth that price though.

Dandelion tea: People say this can be used as a coffee substitute. I’m not entirely sure I agree with that but it does have a dark roasted flavour that is similar to black coffee. It’s a little sweet though. I like this one a lot, but I only have this with food because if I don’t have anything in my stomach it makes me cramp a bit (as I found out the hard way) :/

Matcha green tea with roasted rice: Okay a friend of mine got me some of this as a gift when she went back to visit family for a bit and. Um. This tea is so incredibly good. We had some together and it was fantastic. I’ve been saving it and only having it at times I know I can really savour it because I want it to last. If you can find some good quality stuff I highly recommend it.

Aaaand sometimes, admittedly, I will enjoy an orange pekoe. It’s nice on occasion. I make it pretty strong hehe

I hope this was fun for you your friend! 😆

7月22號 Day 11: Our last day

So today will be our last day in Taipei. We will be leaving tomorrow during a National air defense drill! So during the year Taiwan does an air defense drill which is similar to a tornado drill, just for the country. Everyone must be inside for 30 minutes during the day and all cars have to stop on the road. No one is allowed to e out and you get fined if you are. But, if you are on the highway you can keep driving, so hopefully we are on the highway when it happens so we don’t waste any time.

Anywho, today started at 9:30 and our first stop was to the Chengchi University. Yeh Laoshi and chief Redstone both went to school here but at different times. We got to check out the dorms where most foreign students would stay if they went here. The dorms were pretty nice. Definitely nicer than most UF dorms. The room was reminiscent of Wang Peng’s dorm. So Wang Peng is a character in our Chinese language book and there are videos we watch with specific dialogue. In some of these videos he is in a dorm room and his room looked like the ones we saw today lol. Downstairs they even have a room where you can borrow a Nintendo Switch to play games with your friends and also sing karaoke.

Then after the dorms we went to the library which was HUGE! It was built only 5 years ago in 2019. It was an eight floor library with so much seating and a lot of space. They had private rooms you could rent out and also they had a creative space where students can do imprints or 3D printing on a small and large scale. They had PLA printers, resin printers, and 1 giant 3D printer for bigger projects. They also had a cafe downstairs which had a good variety of drinks although I did not get anything.

After, we had our break for lunch. I went to a dumpling place with some of the others because Austin suggested it and it was sooooooo good. I had a mini pork wonton noodle soup with some addition potstickers on the side and it was all very good. Then as we were waiting in the heat for the bus, Yeh Laoshi kindly bought us all icecream from McDonald’s. It was really good, thank you Yeh Laoshi! Then we got back on the bus, which was the small bus, and headed to the location we have all been waiting for… the… Taipei Zoo!!! The zoo was good. We got to see leopards, elephants, camels, capybaras, hyenas, and so many monkeys. We saw PANDAS and this other animal I forgot the name of that was mostly donkey and some zebra. But it was very hot at the zoo and after walking for 2 hours we took the shuttle train back to the front of the zoo and met everyone else.

Then our final stop was the YaoYue tea house. It was located on the side of a steep mountain. We had a mini tea ceremony done by one of the workers, Peter, and Yeh Laoshi. It is awesome how intricate the tea making process is and all the little things the culture considered when making tea. Watching them make tea made me excited for the tea ceremony we have at the end of the trip. Also the tea was good and light. Not too strong at all and very refreshing. The type of tea we had was Jasmine tea which is very fragrant. After the tea Austin Jack and I rushed to get some Cantonese fried rice with Josh(Yeh Laoshi’s nephew) because it was closing soon. It was really good and also, it was Josh’s birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!

Academic reflection

So today I wanted to reflect on tea. Reading about all of the potential benefits of tea, I wanted to share that here. Tea is consumed by two-thirds of the world's population. It is very popular across the globe but not as popular in America as compared to other places. Because of this I have never done research on tea. I only have heard that it is good for you, but have not read any studies on it. So here is what I learned.

There are basically 3 bases of tea; Green tea, Oolong tea, and black tea. The difference between the three is the time fermented. Green teas is non-fermented, Oolong teas semi-fermented, and Black tea fermented.

Tea overall has a lot of positive effects. It contains many polyphenols, which are known to be a preventative agent. Specifically, the catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) is the credited to the anticarcinogenic effect of grean tea(cancer preventative). Many anticarcinogenic effects where only attributed to green tea but now more research has come out for black tea having similar benefits. Different types of cancer tea can help prevent are skin, prostate, lung and breast cancer.

Green tea also helps reduce reactive oxygen species(ROS) and promote fat metabolism to help reduce athlerosclerotic plaque in the blood vessles. This all promotes good cardiovascular health and decrease myocardial infarctions.

Green tea also lowers the risk of diabetes and artheritis in women and could potentially have neurological effects that prevent parkinon's disease.

After learning all of this, I felt so healthy drinking the tea and had so many cups of it. Not only was it good Jasmine tea, but knowing that they used green tea as the base for jasmine tea, I might start drinking more tea when I get back to the US.

Maybe drink some tea

Until next time, 再見！

Benefits of Jasmine Black Tea: A Fragrant Indulgence

Black tea with jasmine is a unique and delightful beverage known for its distinctive taste and health benefits. It offers a sweetish flavor with a hint of richness, eliminating the need for added sugar. Contrary to common belief, jasmine tea isn’t brewed solely from jasmine leaves; rather, dried jasmine petals are blended with black, green, or white tea leaves. This combination results in a tea that boasts a bright aroma, tangy taste, and numerous health advantages.

Jasmine enhances the positive attributes of black tea by infusing it with essential oils that promote brain function, support the nervous system, and aid digestion. It’s effective in relieving bronchitis and asthma symptoms, aiding detoxification, and purifying the blood. Just a cup or two of jasmine black tea daily can help shed a few pounds over a month. The caffeine and tannins in black tea, intensified by jasmine’s essential oils, boost metabolism. The tart flavor suppresses appetite, while its natural sweetness curbs sugar cravings.

Jasmine black tea has long been recognized for its mood-enhancing properties, fostering feelings of happiness and tranquility. It’s also a great warmer for chilly days.

However, avoid drinking it when you have a fever, as it may exacerbate elevated body temperatures. Historically, Chinese emperors reserved time for jasmine tea before intimate evenings with their beloveds, believing it could enhance sexual desire and endurance. Today, a cup of jasmine black tea can serve as a natural alternative to boost romance, though this remains a lesser-known benefit.

Elevate your tea experience with our premium jasmine black tea. Discover the delightful blend of floral jasmine notes and rich black tea—perfect for indulgent moments. Treat yourself today!

5 Delicious Ways to Enjoy Chinese Tea

Ever wondered how tea became a staple of Chinese Tea? Or why tea is considered an essential part of their culture? And if you’re wondering, the answer is quite interesting, we’ll tell you that. But before getting into the interesting history of tea in China, let’s discuss some of the health benefits of tea.

The history of tea in China

The history of Chinese Tea goes back over 3,000 years. The tea plant is native to the Chinese continent, but it wasn't cultivated until the Han Dynasty (206-220 AD). During the Tang and Song dynasties (960-1279), tea became a popular drink among the wealthy.

In Chinese culture, tea is considered a sacred drink with many health benefits. There are several types of tea, each with its unique flavor and health benefits. Black tea is also known as green tea, and it's made from black tea leaves that have been steamed or dried. It is high in antioxidants and has been linked to improved heart health and reduced cancer risk. Green tea is made from green tea leaves that have been naturally processed into a bright green color.  It contains antioxidants and may help prevent chronic diseases.

Tea brewing is an art form that requires careful preparation and precise timing. Before you brew your tea, you should determine the type of tea you'd like to make. This generally involves choosing between black tea or green tea as well as the amount of leaf used. You can customize your brewing method by using different amounts of water and brewing time per cup.  After making your choice, follow the steps outlined in your manual to prepare your favorite beverage. Do not rush through the process; take your time to enjoy each step of the process. When you're done, sit back and enjoy your freshly brewed tea!

5 delicious ways to enjoy Chinese tea

- Make a pot of pu’er tea: Add 2 or 3 spoons of tea leaves to 200ml of water and bring to the boil.

- Make a pot of Assam tea: Boil 1 liter of water, add 800g of tea leaves and simmer for about 20 minutes.

- Enjoy jasmine tea: Steep 1 teaspoon of green tea leaves in 100ml of hot water for about 5 minutes.

- Have a cup of oolong tea: Boil 2 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of tea leaves.

- Drink white tea hot or cold: Steep 1 teaspoon of white tea leaves in 100ml of cold water for about 3 minutes or steep for about 10 minutes in 100 ml of hot water.

You can try any one of the above methods to enjoy Chinese tea and experience its unique flavor.

Top Spa Treatments for Ultimate Relaxation

1. Traditional Full Body Massage

A deeply relaxing and therapeutic experience, the traditional full body massage combines techniques such as deep tissue manipulation and gentle stretching. This massage aims to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and soothe the nervous system. It not only rejuvenates the body but also provides mental clarity, making it ideal for those seeking to clear both physical and mental stress.

2. Thai Massage

Inspired by yoga and traditional Thai healing techniques, this massage blends stretches, acupressure, and gentle joint manipulations. Thai massage helps enhance flexibility, improve range of motion, and increase energy flow throughout the body. It’s perfect for those looking to boost their vitality or ease muscle stiffness.

3. Back, Neck, and Shoulder Massage

Targeting the upper body, this focused massage helps relieve tension that builds up in the neck, shoulders, and back. It’s ideal for those who experience tightness or discomfort from prolonged sitting, stress, or physical exertion. If you’re short on time but need a quick way to alleviate upper body tension, this massage offers instant relief.

4. Foot Reflexology

Rooted in ancient healing practices, foot reflexology targets specific pressure points on the feet to help release energy blockages and promote overall well-being. This treatment is designed to relax the body and mind, offering therapeutic benefits by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It’s a quick yet effective way to feel rebalanced and refreshed.

Body Treatments to Revitalize Your Skin

1. Body Scrub

For glowing, rejuvenated skin, the body scrub is a must-try. Choose from jasmine, coffee, or green tea scrubs, all of which gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and impurities. These scrubs reveal softer, smoother skin and can help improve circulation, leaving you with a radiant, refreshed complexion.

2. Facial

A deep facial treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and nourishes your skin, this facial includes a soothing facial massage and a hydrating mask to promote collagen production. Ideal for smoothing fine lines and tightening the skin, this treatment also includes a relaxing scalp and shoulder massage to release any tension, leaving you completely relaxed and glowing.

Beauty and Wellness Treatments

1. Manicure and Pedicure

More than just a cosmetic treatment, a manicure or pedicure includes a thorough cleaning, shaping, and treatment of the nails, along with a relaxing hand or foot massage to stimulate circulation. This not only helps keep your nails healthy but also relieves tension, leaving your hands and feet pampered and rejuvenated.

2. Nature Bath

For the ultimate in relaxation, indulge in a nature bath, where you soak in a private, tranquil setting, surrounded by nature. The warm bubble bath, combined with the open sky and serene surroundings, offers a deeply soothing experience, making it the perfect self-care ritual.

3. Ear Candle Therapy

Ear candle therapy is designed to clear blockages in the ear canal, reduce sinus pressure, and relieve headaches. This therapy can help improve hearing, alleviate earaches, and promote a sense of balance and calm. Many visitors find it particularly helpful for relieving sinus congestion and stress-related symptoms.

Specialized Treatments for Deeper Healing

1. Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is a holistic approach to healing that addresses specific physical and emotional challenges. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, sciatica, anxiety, or postural issues, yoga therapy uses breathwork, asanas (yoga postures), meditation, and lifestyle guidance to help you find relief and restore balance.

2. Deep Tissue Marma Points Therapy

This therapeutic massage targets the deeper layers of muscle tissue and connective tissue, focusing on areas of tightness such as the neck, back, and shoulders. The treatment also incorporates Marma points (acupressure points), which can release negative emotions, reduce anxiety, and help calm the mind. It’s especially beneficial for those dealing with chronic pain or emotional blockages.

3. Reiki Healing

Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that promotes relaxation and helps balance the body’s energy. The healer uses gentle touch to transfer life force energy, promoting deep relaxation and restoring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. This treatment is ideal for those seeking a calming experience that fosters emotional and physical healing.
