NO BEVERAGE ON EARTH IS CONSUMED IN SUCH QUANTITIES AS TEA








No Beverage on earth is consumed in such quantities as tea. It's made from tea leaves of the tea tree which grows in damp tropical or subtropical regions and woul reach a height of 10m if it were not pruned to bush size.



Tea growing is said to have originated in pre historic China,where farmers used to perfume he water, which had to be boiled before drinking with the dried leaves of the tea tree.


Depending on the treatment of the leaves,tea belongs to one of three groups:
1. Green Tea
2. Black Tea
3. Oolong Tea


GREEN TEA
After plucking, the leaves are fired in chambers. This means that they are dried by passing hot air oven them for certain period time.


BLACK TEA
After plucked, the leaves are spread on racks where they dry, losing 50% of their moisture content.

The leaves are then rolled by machine to break up the cellular structure,which allows the subsequent fermentation to take place at an increased speed. The fermentation, which takes place at around 27 degree celcius,is stopped by firing when the leaves have assumed the desired qualities.

In sifting machines, the leaves are sorted into the two main grades " Leaf Teas " and " Broken Teas ". Leaf teas are said to be more delicate, where as broken teas are stronger and darker in colour. Fannings and dust are used for teabags.
in general,Teabags produce tea of lesser quality,but for obvious reasons,are very popular.


OOLONG TEA
Oolng tea is semi-fermented and combines the green Tea's delicacy with the Black Tea's strengt.

DEBU

APATIS
( by Martha )


Sungguh ku tak peduli
Apa kata mereka

Aku tahu
Mereka jijik akan adaku
Tapi maaf
Aku sama sekali tak peduli

Tuduhan apalagi
Yang ingin mereka hinakan untukku?

Anjing-kah?
Iblis-kah?
Virus-kah?
Orang Edan?
Sakit?
Ha ha , terserah

Persetan!!??!!

Satu ahl yang aku tahu
AKU BAGIAN DARI MEREKA
Dan setahuku
Aku bukan sampah atau bakteri

Aku hanya ingin
Berpijak di atas jalan
Yang telah ku buat dan ku pilih sendiri
Kemudian ku ikuti arahhnya
Tanpa merugukan yang lain

Karena aku,
ADALAH AKU




DEBU
Dan aku hanyalah debu

Kotor,

Najis,

Nista



Yang kemudian lesat

Menembus batas ketiadaan

Hingga tak perlu lagi

Risaukan

Akanku


ABOUT WINE






WHAT IS WINE ?
Wine is an alcoholic beverage produced primarily from the natural fermented juice of fresh GRAPES. in most cases, wine sold in bars and restaurants is that made from grapes, although some wines are also produced from fruits and berries. because grapes contain yearst ( on the skin ) and sugar ( in the juice ), both necessary for the process of fermentation, grapes begin this process when crushed. the resulting liquid solution is called wine.
HOW IS IT MADE ?
# Grapes are picked when ripe, crushed, the stems removed.
# In making white wine the skins and seed are removed.
# Yeast is then added to the remaining mixture. this causes the mixture to ferment,
which converts the sugar in the grape juice to alcohol.
# All grape juice is white but contact with the red skin during fermentation produces the colour
of red wine.
# the skin and seeds are pressed to remove the remaining liquid.
# All the liquid is combined and allowed to ferment untill all the sugar is converted to alcohol.
The liquid is now wine.
# Then put into oak casks for a period. ( the oak in the casks gives flavour to the wine, the
longer the wine is in the casks, the more oak flavour it will have ).
# then the wine is bottled and allowed to mature-sometimes only months, sometimes year.
generally red wine takes longer to mature than white
HISTORY
The history of wine dates to ancient and possibly even prehistoric.The wall paintings and writing of Babylonia, Egypt, Greeca and the Roman Empire all portray wine making and its consumption in particular the Romans were influential in the expansion of wine production throughout their Empire, where climate and soil were suitable for cultivation. During the middle Ages, Europe became the wine growing center in the world, were wine is considered the most widely accepted meal-time beverage.many country experimented with the bottling, labeling, and corking of wine in 20th century. it was not until the begining of this century that wine became associated with fine food and made its entrance into the civilized world, as we drink it today.
The popularity of wine today's alcoholic beverage industry is growing by leaps and bounds, and consequently no bar or restaurant can afford to overlook this demand.
