„ Here’s what I evaluate upon encountering a new machine for the first time: Exterior finish (I prefer unpainted stainless steel.); placement and size of controls (Bigger and beefier is better than chic.); size and weight of filter holder (Bigger and heavier is better.); size of water reservoir; capacity and ease of removal of drip tray (Can it be removed without sloshing?); and the presence of a heavy duty grounded electrical cord set. I would not personally own a machine unless it had this list of features: A cast brass boiler instead of aluminum; a brass steam valve that was carefully machined to operate smoothly; a preponderance of brass and copper tubing instead of aluminum or plastic; at least 1,000 watts of heating power; and an exterior finish that reflects the same quality as the rest of the componentry. If I get a chance to demo a new unit I try to discern these things: how long it takes to come to operating temperature; if the water will remain reasonably hot during the length of the pour; how difficult is it to change to steam mode and how long does it take to produce useable steam pressure; and how long the machine takes to recover from steam mode back to brewing. Here’s the Most Important Question: * Do you like the coffee it makes?“http://gawlowski.com/matt/html/ espresso_faq.html - Cached

„The company, which is based in Fife, Washington, has designed a unique pyramid shaped silken mesh tea pod. The pod’s shape allows water to circulate around the leaves, in turn giving them the appearance of “dancing.” The benefit of this design is it allows the leaves to expand and move more freely than traditional flat teabags, which gives a fuller infusion of flavor and aroma for the drinker. Flat teabags are known for typically containing tea “dust,” or the remnants of the tea leaves, which makes it harder to control flavor intensity. “The larger leaves and tea pod allow drinkers to control the infusion of the tea - regulating its flavor intensity and eliminating the infusion of any chemical or paper remnants that can seep into the tea from paper dip-and-go bags,” says Amy Paulose, vice president of brand development.“http://www.teaandcoffee.net/0604/tea.htm - Cached

„The first-person narrator is Eileen OKelly, who in 1912 is the only female, feline private detective in Bostonpossibly in the United Statesmaybe (who knows?) in the world. As the lady gumshoe tackles a handful of cases, she coyly utters numerous plays on words, tongue-in-whiskered-cheek comments and social critiques (after Eileen invites her milliner neighbor to take a dish of tea, she explains: Taking a dish of tea is an English expression that has made its way into Boston society, which likes to consider itself more British than American). The dilemmas she sets out to solve all involve anthropomorphic cat characters: a grocery store owner seeks the culprit who is purloining his supply of lox; a hotshot pitcher who hit a once-in-a-lifetime homer out of Furway Park is desperate to find his lucky ball; and an inn owner is determined to discover who murdered her chef sister and escaped with her cookery book of prized recipes. While investigating the murder, Eileen falls in love with Marcel, the victims sous chef, allowing for some fun take-offs on the French.“http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0812626508/ - Cached
Tea World - Everything you ever need to know about tea!

„There are many authentic and supposed references to tea in the centuries before Christ, according to the Chinese dictionary dated circa 350 AD. The Chinese t'u was often used to describe shrubs other than tea, hence the confusion when Confucius allegedly referred to tea or t'u when writing about the "sow thistle" plant in the Book of Odes. From the earliest times tea was reknowned for its properties as a healthy, refreshing drink. By the third century AD many stories were being told and some written about tea and the benefits of tea drinking, but it was not until the Tang Dynasty (618 AD - 906 AD) that tea became China's national drink and the word ch'a was used to describe tea.“http://www.javacafe.com/tea.htm - Cached
„One story claims that the Chinese Emperor, Mu Tsung, gave a gift of tea seeds to Nepal's prime minister Jung Bahadur Rana during a visit to China in the early 1860s. Upon his return to Nepal, he instructed colonel Gajraj Singha Thapa, the chief administrator of the eastern Ilam district and a close relative, to plant the first tea garden. Another story asserts that while on a tour of Darjeeling, Thapa was so impressed by the tea plantations of the area and so delighted by the steaming beverage he was given wherever he went that he set out to grow his own tea in the eastern Ilam regions. Whatever story you subscribe to, one fact is agreed upon: By the end of the 19th century, tea gardens were well on their way in Nepal.“http://www.freshcup.com/mar02_nepal.htm - Cached
„And that's why the American habit of bringing a teacup, a tea bag and a pot of hot water to the table is merely the perfect way of making a thin, pale, watery cup of tea that nobody in their right mind would want to drink. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea. That's why they don't understand. In fact the truth of the matter is that most English people don't know how to make tea any more either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants.“http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/a61345 - Cached
An Introduction to the World of Tea (INeedCoffee.com)
(#)
„There’s a fascinating variety of finely made teas from around the world available now that are fun to try, and they make the supermarket tea bags seem dull and two dimensional by comparison. Most mass-produced, commercial tea is made from cheap grades of tea, such as dust and tiny pieces, so that it will steep quickly, and produce a pleasant, if somewhat generic brew that will accept milk, sugar, or lemon. Fine quality teas consist of whole or larger parts of leaves, have greater depth and complexity of flavor, and a smoother quality. Many of these teas, particularly those from Asia, have enough interesting flavors on their own to stand alone without the addition of milk or sugar.“http://www.ineedcoffee.com/03/tea/ - Cached

„He was an obvious choice to speak on this topic, as the Tazo brand is a unique and visually appealing one. Smith used other examples of good tea graphics and packaging, which have brought tea higher up the ladder from a small specialty niche market, to the larger, trendy health market, and on up to the mainstream. He gave examples of many companies that have been making headway and breaking new ground such as Republic of Tea, and its unique cylindrical packaging design, which has inspired other companies. Smith’s speech was insightful and humorous all at once, leaving attendees with smiles on their faces and questions to be asked from people trying to get a tea brand off the ground, to others who are looking to revamp their brand in order to appeal to a wider consumer audience.“http://www.teaandcoffee.net/0901/tea.htm - Cached
„Equal Exchange chose this region as the source for its organic teas in part because of its reputation, but also because of the exemplary work of Tea Promoters of India (TPI), a local, family-owned company that manages four tea gardens, all of which are certified organic and are run according to fair trade standards. TPI is a pioneer in bringing environmental and social reforms to the tea industry. For example, they have been helping a local cooperative of small farmers, Samjukta Vikas, to raise their incomes through organic tea production. We are proud to work with both this co-op and TPI and look forward to increasing our purchases from this co-op as their production increases.“http://www.equalexchange.com/partners/ india.html - Cached
„O-cha is one of the most popular beverages in Japan. O-cha is Japanese tea, also referred to as green tea. Green tea has long been associated with Japanese people but it is said that the drink actually came from China about 1200 years ago (cha is ‘tea’ in Chinese, and Japanese added the honorific prefix ‘o’). Tea drinking didn't become popular until the 12th century when the upper class people began to enjoy maccha, a high quality powdered green tea.“http://www.zojirushi.com/japanese_culture/ tea_1.html - Cached
„America was also part of the British tea drinking tradition, at least until Parliament's greed and disregard for the American colonists' rights allowed passage of the Stamp Act in 1765. The Americans boycotted English tea in 1767 and switched to smuggled tea and increased their consumption of coffee. The East India Company was hurt financially by the boycott so the British government gave it permission to sell tea without the tax. This tax-free tea was shipped to America in several ships and would have solved the "taxation without representation" protest but for the fact that American merchants were prevented from making profit.“http://www.aboutcoffee.net/2004/07/ patriotic-history-of-coffee-and-tea.html - Cached

Primarily from India and Sri Lanka, this high-quality tea comes from plantations and organizations with good environmental and work practices.

„Global increase in tea consumption which is a result of population increases in major tea consuming countries such as India, China, Pakistan and the Middle East, has fueled marginal price increases. However, consumer demand in the West has not been one of the causes.

(#)
„Sometimes a tea connoisseur may use an infuser or even a single-use, manual-feed tea bag, but rarely do we drink tea from pre-packaged tea bags. This is because the leaves don't have enough room to open, swell and fully develop in the pre-packaged tea bag. Thus the flavor doesn't have the opportunity to fully develop. Furthermore, in general, pre-packaged tea bags are a sign that the tea is of inferior quality (think Lipton's and make an analogy with Folgers).“http://www.ineedcoffee.com/99/07/tea/ - Cached
„Coffee houses and coffee were extremely popular in the 17thCentury London (they were the origin of Lloyd's of London and many other big enterprises).Historians claim that coffee houses drew men from their homes making lonely wives (bannedfrom coffee houses) angry at the beverage.

„Tanzanian tea is grown under two sys-tems: by smallholders, on plots averag-ing less than a hectare, and on large estates, which often exceed 1,000 hectares. In the mid-1960s the government introduced steps to encourage smallholder production, and by 1985 smallholders accounted for almost 30 percent of total tea output. By the late 1980s, however, serious problems were visible in the smallholder sector and by 1995, as the sector's share fell below 10 per-cent, it was clear that only broad-based pol-icy reforms could bring the sector back from the brink.“http://www.worldbank.org/afr/wps/wp69.htm - Cached

„The book also covers some useful information on JDBC and Java Server Pages. There's also some additional coverage on Applet-Servlet communication, Internationalization and Tea & WebMacro application frameworks. However some topics like JavaBeans, SSL, Filters, deployment descriptors and XML were too brief and should have been given some depth. Another dissappointment is that all examples are based on API 2.2 but not 2.3!!.“http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0596000405/ - Cached
