Chinese tea culture : ウィキペディア英語版 | Chinese tea culture
Chinese tea culture refers to how tea is prepared, what equipment is used to make and serve tea, as well as the occasions when people consume tea to celebrate in China. Tea culture in China differs from that in European countries like Britain and Asian countries like Japan in preparation methods, tasting methods, and occasions for which it is consumed. Even now, tea is consumed regularly in both casual and formal Chinese occasions. In addition to being a type of beverage, Chinese tea is used in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as in Chinese cuisine. ==Etymology== The concept of tea culture is referred to in Chinese as ''chayi'' ("the art of drinking tea"), or ''cha wenhua'' ("tea culture"). The word ''cha'' (茶) denotes the beverage that is derived from ''Camellia sinensis'', the tea plant. Prior to the 8th century BCE, tea was known collectively under the term 荼 (pinyin: tú) along with a great number of other bitter plants. These two Chinese characters are identical, with the exception of an additional horizontal stroke in the Chinese lettering 荼, which translates to tea. The older character is made up of the radical 艸 (pinyin: cǎo) in its reduced form of 艹 and the character 余(pinyun: yú), which gives the phonetic cue.
