Caffeine Consumption in Burgundie: Difference between revisions

= Tea =

In 2028 on a per capita basis Burgundians consumed 1.4 kgs of tea, totalling 2,800,000 kgs or 6,172,943 lbs of tea leaves. Some scholars and tea lovers find this statistic misleading because according to the Department of Food and Nutrition, from whom this statistic originated, there is no distinction between tea, chai, and tisane. In many circles, tea and tisane are considered on par with one another, with only extreme purists rejecting tisane, but most tea lovers in Burgundie agree that chai is a unique drink from tea itself. While chai and tea are the same word, the latter being a foreign bastardization of the Daxian chá (茶) (Eng. chai), they have come to refer to two separate beverage experiences in Burgundie. Tea is the traditional boiled water with various leaves of the Camellia sinensis and served directly into a cup, normally with a small wide bowl and a handle. Meanwhile, chai is boiled water with various leaves of the Camellia sinensis, steeped for 5-15 minutes to let it cool and then poured from a height of at least 20 cm, various traditions and shops in The Burgundies pour from differing heights, normally over condensed milk to give it a creamy, frothy texture. Chai is served in a tall slender glass with a brass, or other ornamental metal, zarf. Tisane is boiled water with various leaves ''not'' of the Camellia sinensis and served directly into a cup, normally with a small wide bowl and a handle.
