Ready To Drink (RTD) Espresso and Iced Coffee (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„where there’s less of the sun- shine and leisure lifestyle to help sell cold and iced blended beverages, retailers are relying more on their staff to be sales, promotions, and marketing experts when it comes to their iced espresso/tea/frappe business. According to Jeffrey O’Brian, UK Distributor for Tazo Teas, Stash, and Arizona Beverages, the marketing of RTD beverages at the retail level has evolved to include the customer in promotions such as signature blended drinks, specialty iced teas, thereby creating an event and a sense of adventure with the added bonus of a refreshment of iced over hot. Jeffrey admits that the UK customers have cottoned to their iced coffee, but they still need educating about iced espresso and lattes. The UK businessmen, like their US counterparts, have come to embrace the iced espresso drink trend as a great source of added revenue in their menus.“

"We have the opportunity to change the world every time we buy, roast and sell a coffee," he says.“

„Although Peet's coffee is roasted "deeper" than I typically recommend, I was raised on this coffee and continue to love it.  The meticulous deep roasting process yields a well balanced, smooth, and complex cup of coffee with enormous depth.  Despite the dark roast, the Peet's roasting process yields an extremely aromatic cup. This is a company secret that other chains try to copy by simply roasting dark.  They also have an extensive collection of fine teas and brewing equipment.“

„1600-1800s For 200 years East India sailing ships returning from China brought regular supplies. Although the steam ships bringing teas from India, Ceylon and Africa frequently berthed further down river, their cargoes would be brought up as far as London Bridge in the Clipper ships during the 1880's by barges. This area became the centre of the UK tea trade. The London tea trade has conducted the business of unloading ships, marketing and blending on both sides of the Thames at London Bridge and although the tea auctions were held north of the river, the South Bank boasted the most prestigious warehousing facilities.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea (#)

„To get the most flavor out of any tea, the best standard is a five minute steep time, which is what we do in the cupping room at Peet's. However, it should be recognized that some of the teas of India and Sri Lanka can be quite powerful tasting, especially the broken grades which tend to infuse more quickly due to their smaller leaf size - so four or even three minutes can be quite appropriate for these teas. Green teas tend to like a four minute steep. Herbal tisanes (which are not tea) tend to be much less sensitive to steep time than true teas are, and tend to produce a good cup anywhere in the range of three to seven minutes, depending on the herb.“

Amazon.com: Books: Special Teas (#)

„"Many people are a little wary of having Tea," declares King; just spelling the word with an initial cap connotes formality. Yet the author, co-owner of a New York City-based company that caters teas, is eager to persuade Americans that while tea may be sumptuous or simple, it is, above all, social. King organizes chapters around holidays and other events: Thanksgiving, Christmas, even a "feel better" tea meant to cheer invalids. King savors the plushness of the afternoon repast: in exhorting readers to butter their bread, the author comments, "Butter adds a richness and substance to each sandwich that is evocative of Tea as a whole." That sums up the philosophy behind the luxury assembled in the name of tea here (though some menus really resemble full-fledged dinners).“

„However, I would caution anyone to be careful in this regard, especially when dealing with brokers or intermediaries, and not directly with tea growers,” says Cramer. “Just as with the teas of Darjeeling, the allure of quick riches have attracted their share of hucksters, and it is easy to find green tea being offered to unsuspecting buyers under the guise of being white.” Education is the key to avoiding this. Aside from the debate over the geographical region in which the tea is grown, the processing methods will determine whether you have bought a white, green or oolong tea. The difference between a green tea and a white can be minimal and noticed only by someone who has been around tea for a long time.“

An Introduction to the World of Tea (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

„If all you know about tea is Lipton’s and Celestial Seasonings, then you don’t know what you’re missing. 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.“
