Tea Culture
In many cultures,tea is often had at high class social events,such as afternoon tea and the tea party.It may be consumed early in the day to heighten alertness; it contains theophylline and bound caffeine[5] (sometimes called "theine"),although there are also decaffeinated teas.
Tea is prevalent in most cultures in the Middle East.In Arab culture,tea is a focal point for social gatherings.In Iranian (Persian) culture,tea is so widely consumed that it is generally the first thing offered to a household guest.[34]
There are tea ceremonies which have arisen in different cultures,Japan's complex,formal and serene one being one of the most well known.Other examples are the Chinese tea ceremony which uses some traditional ways of brewing tea.One form of Chinese tea ceremony is the Gongfu tea ceremony,which typically uses small Yixing clay teapots and oolong tea.
The American poet Wallace Stevens,a tea-fancier,is credited by Eleanor Cook with a "delicately implicit trope of drinking tea as a metaphor for reading (ingesting a drink from leaves)."[35] See for instance his "Tea".
In the United States,80% of tea is consumed cold,as iced tea.
