There are several varieties of tea. In some ways, Chinese tea represents Chinese culture.Just like tea in China, coffee also holds an important position in western countries. The word "coffee" comes from the Greek "Kaweh", meaning "strength and passion." Coffee stands for the western culture and the characteristics of the western people.As the representatives of the east and the west, tea and coffee are not only two kinds of popular drinks, but also symbols of two different cultures. As a Chinese common saying goes, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vinegar and tea are the basic and indispensable necessities in the daily life of Chinese people. There is a counterpart saying in the western people’s mouth that if I’m not in the coffee house, then I will be on the way to the coffee house. This reflects the roles of tea and coffee in the people’s life in China and America respectively.In the past few years, Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture have developed rapidly. Chinese tea and American coffee play a increasingly important role in Chinese and American people’s life. Tea houses and coffee houses have become a good place to make friends with strangers, promote feelings with family members and friends and do business transactions. As the intercultural communication deepens and tea culture and coffee culture grow, more and more Chinese people develop a passion for coffee and Americans begin to drink tea.However, there are some similarities and differences between Chinese tea and American coffee culture. Therefore, a study is necessarily carried out to seek for a feasible way for intercultural communication between Chinese and American people.The growing environment of coffee and tea is very different. Coffee grows in hot Africa, South America, Brazil, Colombia, Jamaica and other places. These places have tropical or subtropical climate, which is good for coffee growing. Tea grows in mild and humid climate, such as China's Hangzhou and other places. This hot and mild climate is representative of the main differences between Chinese and American cultures.This thesis intends to facilitate the intercultural communication between Chinese and American people by probing into the Chinese tea culture andAmerican coffee culture, especially their similarities and differences. The paper firstly gives some basic information to Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture and then focuses on the similarities and differences between Chinese tea culture and American coffee culture as well as the factors which determine their differences. Finally, a conclusion is given to the whole thesis.1.1 Chinese Tea Culture1.1.1 Brief Introduction of Chinese T ea CultureChinese tea culture is an important component of Chinese traditional culture. The tea has a long record and it is hard to pinpoint exactly when tea begins in Chinese history. There is evidence to suggest that the drinking habits elsewhere in the world originate directly or indirectly from China. According to the definition in The Grand Dictionary of Chinese Language, culture refers to the material and spiritual wealth created in the practice process of human social history. Thus, tea culture refers to the material wealth and the spiritual wealth related to tea. In a narrow sense, tea culture only refers to the spiritual wealth.Chinese tea culture mainly consists of the methods of preparing tea, the equipment for making tea and the occasions when tea is drunk in China. Chinese tea has both the embodiment of Chinese spiritual civilization and the extension of the ideological form. Consequently, it contributes to enriching the cultural wealth and aesthetic appreciations of Chinese people.Tea has an extensive and profound influence on the development of Chinese culture. Tea culture raises the standards of cultural atmosphere. With the development of globalization, Chinese tea culture will have more impacts on other parts of the world in the future.1.1.2 History of Chinese Tea CultureThe story of tea begins in China in this way. In 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nong was sitting under a tree while the servants were boiling drinking water. Suddenly, some leaves fell into the boiling water. Shen Nong, a herbalist, decided on trying the infusion of water and leaves that is created accidentally by his servants. The drink mixing water and leaves is called tea. Since Shen Nong found tea, tea has remained in China for a long time. As a kind of popular drink, tea was accepted and loved by millions of families.China is the homeland of tea. It is believed that tea-shrubs appeared in China as early as five to six years ago and the cultivation of tea plants has a history of two thousand years. Chinese tea, as well as Chinese silk and porcelain, is an outstanding contribution to the world’s material and spiritual civilization.Since the foundation of Chinese People Republic in 1949, the annual production of tea has increased rapidly from 7500 tons to over 60 million tons. In 1982, the first unity “home of tawny man”was set up with the purpose of developing Chinese tea culture. And then in 1998, Chinese international peace tea culture communication house was launched. With the development of tea culture, more and more cities began to hold “the festival of tea”like Yunnan’s Pu-erh tea festival and Fujian Wuyi tea festival.1.2 American Coffee Culture1.2.1 Brief Introduction of American Coffee CultureCoffee tea culture refers to the diffusion and adoption of coffee as a widely consumed stimulant by a culture. Some social atmospheres or social behaviors rely heavily on coffee. In the United States, September 29th is celebrated as “National Coffee Day”, from which we can see the importance of coffee in people’s daily life.1.2.2 History of American Coffee CultureThe history of coffee dates back to the 9th century. Firstly, found in Ethiopia, coffee beans were taken to the Middle East by Arab traders, spreading to Y e man, Egypt, Persia, Turkey and North Africa in the 15th century. Muslin merchants brought the beans to the port city of V enice and then coffee spread across Europe and eventually arrived in America.The origin of coffee involves varied legends, two of which are widely accepted, that is, the shepherd’s story and Arab monks story.According to the story, a shepherd in Ethiopia named Kaldi noticed one day that the sheep that had eaten the red cherries from a kind of plant suddenly became hyperactive, jumping on the mountain. The shepherd tried some of them and soon became overactive like his herbs. Afterwards, he gave them to the monks to eat and they felt refreshing after eating. Finally, the fruit is used as a refreshing medicine. The fruit is today’s coffee.According to Arab monks story, the snow Chloe marr was banished for a crime for the reason that he had fallen in love with the king’s daughter. Due to desperate starvation, he plucked the fruit from an unknown plant, cooked them and ate. After eating, he became comfortable and refreshed. Therefore, he took a lot of the marvelous fruits with himself. On the way, when he met sick people, he would give them the marvelous fruits. Thanks to his kindness, the king forgave him and let him returned home. The cure medicine was called coffee.Tea and coffee, as two popular drinks in the east and the west, play an important role in people’s daily life. With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living conditions, China and America have formed tea culture and coffee culture with their own characteristics.Chapter Two Similarities of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureAlthough tea and coffee have different origins and history, they share some similarities. On the one hand, they both have a long history. With the globalization of politics, economy and culture, tea appears in the Western countries and coffee also appears in China.On the other hand, tea and coffee have some common functions socially and economically.2.1 Cultures with a Long HistoryBoth tea and coffee have a long history and legendary past. Chinese tea has a long history about five thousand years and coffee dates back to one thousand years. They have become the representatives of the east and the west respectively.As tea and coffee spread widely, numerous tea houses and coffee houses emerge continuously. Just as coffee has become an important part of people’s daily life in the west, tea becomes a part of people’s daily life in China.2.2 Common Social FunctionsTea and coffee are more than daily drinks. Even though they grow in different places, they share common social functions. Their social function is unique and enormous. Nowadays, more and more like relaxing themselves with family members and friends over a cup of coffee or tea.With the development of the society and the improvement of people’s living, more and more people go to tea houses or coffee houses for a cup of tea or coffee instead of at home to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.In China, when a guest or a visitor arrives home, the host usually make a cup tea for him to show friendliness and respect. People are always very modest. Even though they offer the guest the best tea at home, they will say they have no good tea to treat the guests. Then they will chat with each other as they drink tea. Drinking tea can cultivate people’s morality, edify appeal and achieve spiritual enjoyment.There are some special cases where tea is provided and consumed. For example, in order to show respect to the elders, the younger generation will offer a cup of tea. Family members sometimes get together in a tea house for a family reunion or meeting. What’s more, children’s serving tea to their parents is regarded as a sign of regret, submission and apology. In addition, in Chinese traditional marriage ceremony,the bride and groom kneel in front of their parents and serve tea to them to show their gratitude and respect.Just like tea, coffee also plays an important role in the society. Coffee houses serve as centers for social interaction and places in which people can chat, relax, exchange ideas and enhance mutual understanding. It concentrates on the relaxation of life and the reception of guests as well. Living in such a fast-developing world, people sometimes desire to find a relaxing environment to enjoy delicious food and refresh themselves. Drinking coffee is not a bad choice. Taking a sip of coffee and recalling the past is the shadow of life.In a word, both tea and coffee has the function of alleviating the mental fatigue and refreshing body and mind. Also, tea and coffee play a significant role in promoting friendship, maintaining personal relationship, activating inspiration and relaxing mind.2.3 Common Economic FunctionsIn the past several decades, Chinese tea industry has developed rapidly. The tea export quantity amount repeatedly broke the record in the past consecutive years. The price of tea rises by 6.66% year by year. Tea is the widely consumed beverage, which can quench their thirst, build character and cure diseases. Tea carries forward the traditional virtues of cultural and artistic shows, self-cultivation and promotes national unity, economic performance and social progress and development of trade. Traditional virtues are accumulated over thousands of years by the ancient people of the good moral respected, embodying national spirit and social habits. Traditional tea culture mainly manifests selfless dedication, perseverance, humility courtesy, diligence and thrift. A prosperous development of the tea industry is going on. China is the only one of the largest tea countries that produces all kinds of tea in the world. The economic value of tea lies in its great contribution to the overall economic development of China.Coffee is also one of the main economic goods in the world trade. Just behind petroleum, coffee is the second most traded product in the world and 7million metric tons of coffee has been produced annually since 2010. According to the statistics, an American worker spends about 20 dollars on coffee every week. In spite of the slow economic growth of the USA, the demand for coffee is still on the increase and coffee still holds a stable and powerful position in the consumption.Chinese tea and American coffee have created GDP to China and Americarespectively. With the development of globalization, the improvement of living conditions and the change of life style, the business of tea and coffee will play increasingly powerful role in boosting the economy.Chapter Three Differences of Chinese Tea Culture andAmerican Coffee CultureDespite the fact that there exist some similarities between Chinese tea and American coffee, they differ dramatically from each other in terms of origin, efficacy and drinking art.3.1 Origin and DevelopmentCultivated in different places, tea and coffee have distinctive origins and developments.Culture is a delicate thing, at first glance nothing be refined, but penetration in people's daily lives, such as tea, such as coffee.The appearance of tea is said to begin in ancient China more than 5,000 years ago. Shen Nong, an emperor discovered tea leaves and invented the drinking of tea. As the story goes, Shen Nong stopped to have a rest on a visit to remote place and his servants were boiling water to sever the emperor when the leaves from the tree fell into the pot, making a brown drink. Out of curiosity, the emperor tried to sip it and unexpectedly found it refreshing. Later, it became the national wide drink of China, called tea.As the Chinese tea spreads widely, it was firstly introduced to the Arabian and then in the early seventeenth century, it was exported to Europe, from which it spread to the whole world rapidly. Chinese tea, just like Chinese silk and china, has become the symbol of China.The origin of coffee is also intriguing and interesting. According to the story of a shepherd, he observed that his sheep became overactive after eating the red cherries of a certain plant and then he tried some by himself and became hyperactive like his herb. Since then, coffee has been in existence in people’s daily life. Another legend goes that an Arabian was banished to the desert and he and his followers boiled and ate the fruit from the unknown plant due to starvation. The unknown fruit saved them. The fruit is today’s coffee.Coffee beans was first discovered in Ethiopia as a kind of food rather than a drink. Later it was brought to the Middle East and was spread to Egypt, Turkey, Y emen, Persia and North Africa in the 15th century. And then coffee was much popularized by the British India Trade Company in England, from which time coffee has spread across Europe and America.Chinese tea and American coffee have different origins and developing roads andeventually form different cultures and customs.3.2 EfficacyAs popular beverages, Chinese tea and American coffee not only can relax people but also they have unique efficacy.People believe that tea is a healthy drink and a drink of the soul. As to efficacy, tea works effectively against cancer according to scientific studies. It is scientifically confirmed that tea contains a great deal of biochemical ingredients which are beneficial to people’s health. Not only can tea cultivate taste and refresh the spirit., but also cure some common diseases, such as cancer. Additionally, tea helps to fight against harmful bacteria and virus, promote blood circulation and improve the function of the digestive system. It is obvious that tea have many pharmacological effects that are irreplaceable by other drinks.As for coffee, it is found out that coffee can effectively prevent the recurrence of gout. Containing vitamin B, coffee is good for the skin. And it can hold people in high spirit and remove fatigue effectively. However, drinking too much coffee will make people overexcited and cause anxiety and sleep disorder.Tea and coffee enrich people’s life and contribute to their body. Generally speaking, it is better to drink tea than drink coffee because coffee contains too much caffeine, which will on the one hand help people keep a clear head and refresh them and on the other hand stimulate people’s nerves and make them sleepless, causing health risk.3.3 Drinking ArtDrinking tea and coffee is more than to quench thirst. It is also a kind of art, a kind of spirit enjoyment. The drinking art of tea and coffee includes the methods of preparing, the equipment used to boil them and the way to drink.The drinking art of tea is complicated and particular. It is a complex procedure from the growth of tea to the time tea is enjoyed by people. The following four elements in regard to tea art should be paid much attention to.(1)The art of tea leaves: The quality of tea is largely determined by the quality of the prepared tea leaves. Chinese people thought of many good ways to preserve tea leaves so as to keep the original flavor of tea.(2)The art of tea sets: The tool of making tea and the utensil of drinking tea are called tea sets. Tea sets came into being in the slave society and began to change fromMing Dynasty. The shape, color and style of tea sets have experienced a series of changes. The changes in the styles and patterns of tea sets show the development of tea culture(3)The art of water: Water is the foremost element for making good tea. Fresh and clear water is the primary choice. The temperature of water is also very crucial. The optimal temperature of water should be controlled between 80。
茶文化和咖啡文化的差别有哪些
茶文化和咖啡文化的差别有哪些茶和咖啡是当今世界上消耗量最大的两种饮料，有着不同的内涵、历史，因此也代表了中西两方文化的差别。
今天店铺就来给大家茶文化和咖啡文化的差别。
茶文化和咖啡文化的差别之生长环境咖啡和茶叶的生长环境截然不同。
咖啡生长在炎热的非洲、南美洲，比如巴西、哥伦比亚、牙买加等地。
这些地方都属于热带或亚热带，气候炎热多雨，适合咖啡的生长。
茶叶则多生长于气候温和湿润的温带，比如中国的杭州等地。
这炎热和温和的气候正代表了中西方文化的主要差异，西方人热烈奔放，即使面对陌生人也可以热情地寒喧打招呼;中国人处世温和，崇尚“君子之交淡如水”。
茶文化和咖啡文化的差别之种类茶叶和咖啡的种类，冲泡方法也有不同。
咖啡的冲泡从研磨咖啡豆到器具，再到水温比例都有严格的要求，冲泡出来香味馥郁，口味浓厚。
茶叶的冲泡远比咖啡要复杂。
中国的茶有绿茶、红茶、白茶、黑茶、乌龙茶、花茶几个大种，每种茶叶的加工都不一样。
冲泡茶叶的茶具也是五花八门，著名的就有宜兴紫砂壶。
不同的茶叶要配以不同的茶具，这样才能最好地体现出这种茶的风味来。
早在1200多年前的唐朝，陆羽用时27年所著的《茶经》就详细阐述了种茶，加工茶和泡茶的方法;而直到约公元1000年，绿色的咖啡豆才被第一次放在滚水中煎煮。
中西方历史的长度可见一斑。
更重要的是，咖啡的冲泡向来是一次完成。
二战时期，美国总统罗斯福将早晨泡过的咖啡在下午再泡一次，称为“二度咖啡”，一时被传为总统节俭的佳话，可见泡过一次之后的咖啡就失去了它原来的风味，在口味上变得清淡无味。
茶叶正好相反。
事实上，头次冲泡的茶水称为“洗茶”，是要弃之不饮的。
茶叶的真正口味要经过两至三道开水的洗礼才能被真正品味出来，所谓“一苦二甜三回味”。
这正是中国人和西方人对于生活不同态度的写照。
中国人崇尚年轻时努力工作，吃苦耐劳，这样才能在中年时期有理想的生活和财政状况，在老年时就能欣然回味年轻时所做的事情。
西方人虽然不乏这样的企业家金融家，但大多数人认为在努力的同时也要享受生活。

History of tea
Referring to Chinese tea, it can be traced back to the ancient times. Legend says,tea was found by Shen Nong Shi,the God of agriculture. China is the initial place of tea and also the first country to discover the tea tree and make use of it. Tea was flourished in the Tang dynasty and the Song dynasty. "Tea Jing"written by LuYu in 760AD was the first book of tea in the world,which promote the development of tea culture.
• You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm.You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm.A tranquil, refreshing, comfortable and neat locale is certainly desirable for drinking tea
中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比
中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比茶与咖啡是当今社会中普遍流行的饮料，在人们的生产生活中占有重要地位。
而从茶与咖啡的文化角度来看，其二者各自代表着不同的文化。
茶是中国传统文化的象征，从古至今流传而来，有着深厚的历史底蕴。
咖啡文化则是西方国家的典型象征，由于历史背景、生长环境等因素的不同，导致二者有很大的差异性。
因此，从这个层面来讲，茶和咖啡，有着不同的内涵、历史，那么这个时候就引发了一个问题，茶文化与咖啡文化到底有着怎样的不同。
本文对此进行详细叙述。
一、茶的历史起源及茶文化概述1. 茶的历史起源人类的饮茶史传说从上古神农尝百草之后就开始了，那个时候是作为药用。
相传彭祖得饮茶养生之道，活了800多岁。
后其携二子彭武、彭夷定居于闽北山中，武夷山因此而得名。
后来周朝统治者借鉴商纣灭亡的原因，颁布禁酒令，倡议群臣百姓以茶代酒。
闽北某山被时闽王划为茶山以备上贡茶叶之用。
有历史记载的是西汉时一个道人吴理真在四川蒙顶山种植茶叶，此后茶叶种植才作为经济作物推广开来。
而中国并没有像日本那样固定下来形式化的茶道，甚至说，中国没有“茶道”这个概念。
中国的“道”有两种来源，一是通过反复尝试，熟能生巧，举一反三，积累总结“道”。
而后再以此道调养身心，调适行为。
再从修行中总结心得体会，进一步完善其“道”。
另一种是通过思想感悟而得“道”，而后以行动来实践、验证此道。
对于日本茶道“和、敬、清、寂”的核心精神，国人会感叹中国茶不成道，更无茶道精神。
其实日本的“茶道”与中国完全不同。
日本是固定下来的泡茶形式和泡茶内涵，而中国文化中，“道”存于万物，不拘泥于时间场合等，二者不能等量齐观。
2. 茶文化的概述“茶文化”泛指与茶相关的文化，包括茶产业、饮茶、品茗、器用、茶事等，其层面除了人文历史哲学，甚至涵盖政治、经济等。
以茶文化和政治的关系来说，自中唐以来，历代茶政与饮茶方式都有相关记载与论述。
就经济的层面来说，唐代时期社会安定，经济发达，因茶风鼎盛，茶的大量生产，促使贸易消费发展迅速。
浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比
浅析中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的对比中国和西方的饮品文化有着不同的历史和传统，茶和咖啡作为两种代表性的饮品在中国和西方都有着广泛的流行。

中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的比较5页茶和咖啡一直是世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一。
中国和西方都有丰富的茶和咖啡文化，它们具有不同的历史和传统，并在不同的文化和社会背景下发展。
本文将比较中国茶文化与西方咖啡文化的几个方面。
一、历史背景茶文化源于中国，可以追溯至公元前2700年。
茶在中国有着悠久的历史和文化传统，被认为是中国传统文化的重要组成部分。
在中国，茶的饮用方式是传统的，茶被视为一种健康的饮品。
相比之下，西方咖啡文化相对年轻。

西方咖啡文化则喜欢在咖啡馆、酒吧和餐厅交换信息和社交。
茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同
茶文化与咖啡文化折射中西文化异同茶承载了很多中国文化的元素，可以说是中国人生活方式的一种代表。
而咖啡，则与西方文化有着不解之缘，咖啡代表的是一种精神，一种与西方文化息息相关的热情、自由、开放的精神。
茶和咖啡是当今世界日常生活中最重要的两大饮品。
茶的清香沁人心脾，喝茶时清新淡雅的意境让人陶醉，咖啡的香醇亦是令人如痴如醉，让人在忘我的境界里回味无穷。
茶和咖啡的起源、传播、饮用方式，文化内涵等方面更能折射出中西两种文化的演变和差异。
一、起源与发展 1．茶的起源与发展早在秦汉以前，我国四川一带已盛行饮茶。
西汉时，茶是四川的特产，曾通过进贡传到京城长安，我国古代川东鄂西就是茶树的发祥地。
神农氏是"三苗"、"九黎"部族之首领。
在《史记•吴起传》与《说苑》等古籍中有"三苗氏，衡山在其南，歧山其北，左洞庭之坡，右彭蠡之川"的记载，这说明神农氏的部族发源在四川东部和湖北西部山区，这正是今日大神农架的地域。
《神农百草经》中写到:"神农尝百草，日遇七十二毒，得茶而解之"。
在这样一个植被茂盛，至今还盛产茶叶的环境里，神农尝百草完全是可能的。
从《王褒僮约》所记载的饮茶、卖茶的事实看来，我国汉代以前，川东鄂西地区生产和利用茶叶的事业已相当发达。
人们不难设想从采野茶到人工栽培茶树，从自给自用到"产、供、销"的过程，需要多长年代。
所以说我国祖先发现利用栽培茶叶的历史是悠久的。
自神农氏尝百草得茶以后，在原始公社后期，茶叶成为货物交换的物品。
商末周初，巴蜀人已经开始饮茶，公元前1066年武王伐纣，茶叶曾经作为贡品。
战国时期，茶叶已有一定规模。
在汉朝，茶叶成为佛教"坐禅"的专用滋补品。
而魏晋南北朝，茶立足于长江流域同时向北方普及，饮茶之风扩散开来。
隋唐时代，全民普遍饮茶，茶业昌盛，出现了茶馆、茶宴、茶会，提倡客来敬茶，此时也产生了世界上第一部茶文化专著《茶经》。

Chinese tea culture
• The Chinese people, in their drinking of tea, place much significance on the act of "savoring." "Savoring tea" is not only a way to discern good tea from mediocre tea, but also how people take delight in their reverie and in tea-drinking itself. Snatching a bit of leisure from a busy schedule, making a kettle of strong tea, securing a serene space, and serving and drinking tea by yourself can help banish fatigue and frustration, improve your thinking ability and inspire you with enthusiasm. You may also imbibe it slowly in small sips to appreciate the subtle allure of tea-drinking, until your spirits soar up and up into a sublime aesthetic realm.
