13、 cultureTea is a kind of drink made by pouring boiling water into the processed tea leaves. In the everyday life of Chinese people, tea is a common drink. Chinese originally called tea “Kia”. As far as is known, it was during the course of the 6th century AD that the name evolved into “Cha”.China is
14、 the hometown of tea, and it is also the earliest country that discovered the tea trees, the use of tea and the transplant of tea. Tea is Chinas national drink, originated from Shen Nong, famous in Zhou, beginning in Tang, prospering in Song, and complete in Ming Qing. In China there is a common say
15、ing: “a firewood, rice, oil salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day”. Though tea is last on the list, people still can see the importance of tea in Chinese daily life. After thousands of years development, tea gradually formed its own culture and custom during the prac
16、tice process of social history, and then became a great material and spiritual wealth of Chinese people.Chinese tea culture is a component of Chinas traditional outstanding culture. It mainly refers to the methods of preparing tea, the equipment being used to make tea, the art of drinking tea and th
17、e tea ceremony being used etc. The emergence of Chinese tea does a great favor to enhance the spirit and wisdom of human beings to a higher level. It not only has the embodiment of Chinese spiritual civilization, but also the extension of the ideological form. Accordingly, it is beneficial in enhanc

Even now, in both casual and formal Chinese occasions, tea is consumed regularly. Teas

Today tea culture is an important carrier of Chinese leisure culture. Tea has had a great influence on the development of Chinese culture. Chinese traditional cultur
21、e is closely connected with Chinese tea in literature, arts, religion, medicine and philosophy. Tea culture should raise cultural atmosphere standards. The elegance of tea culture highlights the world. Chinese tea culture will have more extensive influence on other parts of the world in the future.1
22、.2 Brief introduction of American coffee cultureJust like tea in the east, coffee has long been a part of daily life in the United States. People can see coffee houses scattered on the streets of US cities like teahouses in the east. It is no secret that US people have a particularly special relatio
23、nship with coffee. In the west, people always say “If Im not in the coffee house, I must be on the way to the coffee house”.
