Whats the difference between English tea and Chinese tea?
Even though I live in the UK i've never been a big fan of english tea (dark with milk). I have just been to China and they had a different type of tea, much lighter and more transparent. On most menu as "Chinese Tea". Whats the difference and how could I make chinese tea at home?
"English" tea is mostly black tea either from India or Ceylon (Sri Lanka), or the Yunnan, Fujian, or Anhui provinces of China. These places are where a vast majority of black tea is produced. There is no tea actually produced in the UK. There may be different blends or brands of tea produced there, however the actual tea is grown in Asia (or rarely, in Africa). "Chinese" tea would be really any of the types of tea, but brewed traditionally without any addition of sweeteners or milk. These types include White, Green, Yellow, Oolong, Pu-erh, and Black. They are all made from the same plant, but processed differently. For example, oolong would be oxidized longer than a white tea and would therefore be "stronger" and it would have more body. Some types of black tea (especially from the Darjeeling region of India) can even be pretty light in flavor and body.
The "Chinese" tea you probably had was oolong as it is served at many chinese restaurants. In order to make it at home, you would need a good quality loose leaf tea, a teapot, and a tea kettle (for heating water). First, heat enough water that you think you will use plus a little extra until boiling (not in the actual teapot). Pour a little of the hot water into the teapot (without leaves in it) and swish it around for a while to warm it. Pour this water out and then measure out about one teaspoon of leaves for each cup of water and put them in the teapot. Wait until the water has cooled to about 82-93 degrees celsius, and pour the water in the pot until full. Cover it and wait about 3 minutes. While waiting, make sure you have your cup(s) ready as well as some sort of strainer to place over your cup while pouring the tea to block the leaves. When the time is up, make sure to pour all of the tea out of the pot, even if you aren't going to drink it right away. This will assure that all of the tea is the same in strength. Oolong tea can always be steeped again, usually about 3 times, depending on the quality of the leaf.
