A study on Chinese Tea Culture and
Western Coffee Culture
Introduction
As a
traditional and national
drink
of Chinese people,
tea
has
never
stepped
out
of
Chinese
people’s
daily
life.
China is
the homeland of tea. Chinese tea has a
history of
over 5,000 years,
during which a series of unique tea culture
have come into being. For Chinese
people, tea is not only a
necessity
in
their
life,
but
also
a
symbol
of
the
spiritual
civilization of
Chinese society.
Coffee,
like
tea
in
China,
is
also
a
necessary
drink
in
western the west,
there’s a joke saying: “If I’m
not
in
the coffee
house,
I
will be
on the way to
the coffee
house.”
Westerners’
love
for
coffee
has
its
own
cultural
background. Coffee
also acts as a representative of western
living pattern.
Tea is to
Chinese people what coffee is to westerners.
They
are
not
simply
two
kinds
of
popular
drink,
but
also
signs
of
two
different
cultures,that
is,
Chinese
culture
and
western essence of tea
culture is closely related
to the
values and thinking pattern of Chinese. Similarly,
the
spirit of coffee culture could not
be parted from the western
values
and
ways
of
thinking.
The
concept
of
tea
in
China
varies
from
area
to
area,
meanwhile,
the
habit
of
drinking
coffee
in
the
west
also
differs
from
country
to
country.
In
these
years,
as
the
development
of
globalization
and
the
interpenetration
of
different
cultures,
tea
and
coffee
are
becoming more and more common all over
the world. They
has infused into each
other. More and more people in China
like drinking coffee, and more and more
westerners become
fans of Chinese tea.
This paper consists of three chapters.
The first chapter
gives
basic
information
and
history
of
the
Chinese
tea
second chapter talks about the
introduction and
history of western
coffee culture. The third chapter focuses
on
the
infusion
of
Chinese
tea
culture
and
western
coffee
culture.
At
the
end
of
this
paper,
the
author
draw
a
brief
conclusion about the topic.
Chapter 1 Chinese tea culture
1.1 General introduction of
Chinese tea culture
Tea-drinking dates
from Zhou Dynasty, and have been
listed
as
one
of
the
seven
necessities
in
a
day.
In
the
long
history of drinking
tea, the ancients of Chinese people have
developed an unmatched art of tea, that
is tea culture.
Chinese
tea
culture
is
the
culture
of
making
and
drinking tea. As one of
the open seven things (firewood, rice,
oil,
salt,
sauce,
vinegar
and
tea),
Chinese
tea
can
be
categorized
as
green
tea,
black
tea,
wulong
tea,
white
tea,
yellow
tea,
scented
tea,
compressed
tea(also
called
“dark
tea”),and so on. The process of making
tea and drink
ing it
are
dainty in China, even the container of it are
elaborately
prepared,
which
form
the
basis
of
Chinese
tea
Chinese
art
of
tea
is
not
only
a
component
of
Chinese
civilization,
but
also
a
miniature
of
the
Chinese
spirits
refined in thousands of years of
history.
1.2 History of Chinese tea
culture
The original
idea of tea is credited to the ancient
Emperor, and the God of Agriculture,
Shen Nong Shi. In
the“Book
of
Herbs”,
it
says
that
“Shen
Nong
shi
personally tasted hundreds of species
of herbs and he was
hit by 72 poisons
in a single day. But he used a kind of
three
leaves
to
ease
his
case
and
it
turned
out
to
be
tea
tree.”
It is said that tea shrubs were first
discovered in the
tropical and sub-
tropical climate zone in the southwestern
part
of
China,
where
primeval
forests
prevailed
and
the
warm and
moist
setting
was
favorable for the
growth of
tea
shrubs.
That
forms
the
basis
for
Chinese
tea
production.
From
the
earliest
times,
tea
was
renowned
for
its
properties as a healthy and refreshing
drink. By the third
century AD, many
stories about tea and the benefits of tea
