The Most Important Factors Behind The Quality Of Chinese Tea
Tea merchants often talk about high quality tea products that they offer. However, the factors that embody quality tea are not clearly defined. We are going to discuss about some of the factors that make up the quality of Chinese tea, and focus on the cultivation stage of tea production. In general, these factors can be categorized as agricultural practice, ecological factors, and tea tree characteristics.
One of the most important factors when it comes to tea production is the agricultural practice. Unfortunately, many of the tea products available in the market are from non-organic ways. The disorganized use of fertilizers or pesticides results to termination of useful parasites and predators, and to the downgrade of top soil. Non-organic methods may seem to increase production and profit for farmers, but the results disrupt the natural process of ecosystem. Thus, the leaves that are produced have a bland taste. Authentic teas must be produced from tea trees that are cultivated organically. However, the organic method of tea production generates less numbers. Thus, organic teas are more costly compared to non-organic teas.
Moreover, agricultural practice also affects the health properties of teas. Tea trees are capable of absorbing chemicals in their environment. Thus, non-organic tea can be harmful to a person's health because of the synthetic fertilizers and pesticides used. The great thing is that Vintage Tea Company goes the extra mile to ensure that the teas offers are only made from organic farming methods. You will surely get the value of what you pay for.
The next thing to consider is environmental issues. Tea trees are capable of growing in various locations. However, the location will also determine the quality of the leaves. An area that has a comparatively high level of humidity is an ideal location for producing quality leaves. Humidity is an important factor to consider, because there is more control of the temperature of an area. In contrast, the temperature in dry areas has the tendency to cool own or heat up quickly, and the temperature in wet locations has the tendency to cool down and heat up at a slow pace. It is important to grow tea trees in a stable climate to produce uniform leaves with nutrients.
In addition, high quality leaves are also from elevated areas. This is when the air is cooler at higher altitudes, because air force is lower. Subsequently, there is also a decrease in the capability of air to grasp water. When the air rises, it makes bigger and cools down. Thus, clouds form and produce rain or snow storm. The side of the mountain that faces the wind gets the higher amount of rain, while the side away from the wind is dry in comparison. Tea plantations are usually located on the side of the mountain facing the wind, as tea trees love water. Higher altitudes also prolong the growth of tea trees so that they can have more flavors and aromas.
The last factor for high quality Chinese tea is the tea tree characteristics. There are varieties of tea trees that exist, but Camellia sinensis is the only plant species responsible for growing non-herbal leaves. Various types of aromas and flavors can be produced. Some leaves are used for green teas, while others are better for making black teas.
Ancient and local varieties of teas have more flavors than the recent ones. An example of these is the Shi Feng Longjing tea. Every tea tree in the Shi Feng area is subjected to similar climatic environment and a range of the same agricultural methods. Despite this, you would still notice that Longjing tea from recent Cultivar 43 has less intricate taste and trace compared with those that were produced from native cultivar or Qunti Cultivar. This is because the growth of older tea trees and local cultivars are slower. Thus, the leaves are able to develop a more unique and intricate taste. The local cultivars are also better at absorbing the soil content of an area. Unfortunately, local and native cultivars are being replaced with newer cultivars to produce more leaves, but with lesser flavor and taste.

Starting A Cake Business: Top Rules To Live By For Future Success
If you are good at baking, starting a cake business would be a very good idea for you. For it to be successful however, you would need to figure out a few things and sort them out first. Remember, any kind of business is about marketing. It is only through marketing that you can convince people to not only buy from you, but to do so repeatedly and to refer others to you. In the case of a cake business, there are a number of things you can do to facilitate this. Some of these include:
Having a marketing strategy in place
You need to have a marketing strategy in place when you start such a business. This does not even need to be an elaborate one to work. For instance, you could simply decide to be friendly to people, and encourage them to refer others to buy the same from you. You can also give discounts to people who buy a cake more than once, and then tell them that it's appreciation for the continuing business. This might not feel like much, but it's actually very effective in encouraging more and more people to buy from you.
When you are coming up with such a strategy, you need to also keep in mind that you are going up against other more established players. The one question that you always need to have answers to is "how do I convince these people to buy from me instead of from the other people they regularly buy cake from?" Once you have these reasons, you can then capitalize on them as part of the marketing.
The issue of presentation
Cakes are predominantly foods that are used for celebration. It is therefore critical for your success that you learn how to present them well. This usually means practicing on designing different kinds of cakes, and making sure that you always have the equipment you need to decorate one properly. This is a very important issue that will also form part of the marketing for you. When someone sees a high quality cake that you had made, they will be in a better position to try and ask you to do the same for them. The harder you work, the more likely you will be to succeed.
Always try to improve
One of the weaknesses that most businesses have is ending up being too comfortable. For your cake business to thrive, this is something that you should always be afraid of. Even if customer numbers are rising, you need to continually find ways to make the business better and more efficient, so that you can keep making profits.
As long as you have the above in mind before starting your cake business, you are likely to make a killing. It might seem like a simple trade that anyone can do at home, but just like in other business spheres, only the very good at it make huge profits. One thing you can be sure of is that it will all be worth it.

Banana Muffins Could Be Your Secret to Healthy Weight Loss
A lot of muffins sold in stores and restaurants are really closer to cupcakes. They're packed with refined flour, white sugar and lots of fat. That makes them enjoyable to eat, but also a danger to your waistline. In fact, some muffins pack in as many calories as an ordinary full meal! Not every baked good is this detrimental to your diet, however. In fact, it's possible to eat banana muffins every day and still lose weight. You just need to choose the right ones. Here's a look at the best banana muffins for weight loss and better health.
Real Fruit
Bananas offer plenty of health benefits, but only if you can get the real thing. They provide natural sweetness, potassium and plenty of other nutrients. Artificial sources might give you plenty of banana flavor, but they'll be missing out on the health benefits that can only come from genuine fruit. If you really want to control the fruit content of your muffins, you can make your own at home. Otherwise, read ingredient lists to make sure the banana flavor in your baked goods comes from natural sources.
Calorie Content
Muffins don't have to be heavy on the calories to be satisfying. In fact, there are tasty muffins and muffin tops available for about 100 calories apiece. Whether you use a healthy home made muffin recipe to produce a more reasonably-sized muffin or you choose a commercial variety, watch those calories. Simply cutting back on the sugar and using better quality ingredients can do a lot to help you have a muffin that's enjoyable without packing on the pounds.
Whole Grains
White flour is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to causing weight gain, but you'll find it in most muffins. If you really want to control your appetite and help get rid of the pounds, you need to choose products with a whole grain base. At home, consider substituting half of your white flour for wheat flour in any muffin recipe. If you're buying commercial muffins, check the ingredients panel to make sure that your baked goods include plenty of healthy whole grains. They'll help reduce your risk of many diseases and make it easier to eat a reasonable portion.
Sugar and Fat
Fat and sugar have been added to lots of store and restaurant muffins in order to keep them from going stale. They might make the muffin taste rich and sweet, but they're detrimental to your health. If you want a muffin that won't hurt you in the long run, look for options that include natural sweeteners and less fat. Home cooks can substitute applesauce or fat free yogurt for some of the butter and oil in their recipes. It'll really make a difference!
