In China, unlike in the West, tea drinkers often steep more tea leaves in less water for a succession of varying times in order to enjoy every aspect of the tea's flavor. But tea is not only multifaceted in its flavor, aroma, and color. The subject of tea, and even coffee (as I have said before), has a plethora of different aspects just waiting to be explored by tea and coffee lovers such as ourselves. That is why I have dug up some links to websites and journals that offer more information on some subjects that have not been discussed in this blog.
Tea and Coffee trade journal has been around for over one-hundred years. I have presented you with a link to their archives which all are free to peruse. For those of you who are more interested in the economic side of tea and coffee, namely, the trading of it, this is an excellent site. You can also order the physical journal from the website.
UK Tea Council -- tea from the British perspective. I absolutely love this website! They have a little section reserved just for interesting, random little tea facts, as well as a sort of tea news section which includes everything from the growth of tea consumption to a "3D animation...about a woman who loves tea". Thank you Britain for passing onto the rest of the West your love of tea!
British Journal of Cancer I know you are wondering what cancer has to do with tea. Well so were some scientists in the Netherlands. Tea and Science...what could be more stimulating =).
We Americans have a similar website that is a little easier to read, and it is actually a government site.
I also found a few websites on coffee and ecology:
Rappahannock Coffee -- gives some basic info on how coffee is grown, the climate needed, etc.
Ineedcoffee -- This is a very interesting, albeit very scientific article on how fungi is ecologically important for the growing of coffee. Thank you Fungi =).
