Teasenz Posted May 16, 2016 at 05:32 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 at 05:32 AM Anyone living in Xian? There seems to be an exhibition of a 2100 old tea found in the tomb of an emperor. See this link: http://www.chinatopix.com/articles/87093/20160515/worlds-oldest-tea-exhibited-nw-chinese-museum.htm I've a hard time finding a Chinese source though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefg Posted May 16, 2016 at 10:25 AM Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 at 10:25 AM That does go way back. I didn't realize tea was in use as a beverage that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasenz Posted May 17, 2016 at 02:20 AM Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 at 02:20 AM @Lips, excellent that's exactly what I was looking for. @abcdefg, yeah that surprised me as well. And the the fact that it was in the tomb, means it was something to be treasured already at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
艾墨本 Posted May 17, 2016 at 04:19 AM Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 at 04:19 AM Laszlo Montgomery from China History Podcast did a 10 part series on the history of tea. It is fantastic! He goes through step by step and explains how it evolved, the western conflicts regarding it over time, and how it became what it is today. He includes vocabulary lists for us Chinese students (though it is all recording in English) and cites some fascinating resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted May 17, 2016 at 04:38 AM Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 at 04:38 AM Laszlo Montgomery from China History Podcast did a 10 part series on the history of tea. Here's a "road map" to those podcasts in case you don't have time to listen to them all. Lots of information; excellent coverage of the topic. http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/49617-laszlo-montgomery-on-the-history-of-chinese-tea-%E2%80%93-a-listening-guide/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
