Those are presented in the following directions: differences in the classifications, difierences in the spreading ways, differences in the protocols and so on. All these differences
5、 leave an impression that coffee cultxire seems simpler and freer than tea culture. For example, the protocols of tea are strict, rules cannot be changed. While in making coflfee one can do whatever he likes. These differences can be traced back to the forming of these two cultures. Both tea culture
6、 and coffee culture are a reflection of their related society Different people have different thinking modes. The orient people seem more fantastic, they believe in things that do not exist, such as gods. They would adjust to the nature and keep things the original way The westerners, on the contrar
7、y, prefer realism. They would change the environment instead of adjusting to it. The study of these two cultures will contribute to the understanding of the differences between orient culture and western culture. Also it will help the interchange of these two cultures.Key words: tea culture; coffee
8、culture; difierences; thinking modes茶与咖啡都拥有着悠久的历史,因此它们都衍生出了相应的文化。对比这两 种文化很容易发现两者的不同。这些不同之处体现在分类、传播方式、相关礼仪 及其它方面上。这些差异无不昭示着相较于茶文化,咖啡文化显得更加的自由随 性。一如两者在礼仪上的差异:茶礼仪已经固定下来并有着一套严格的步骤;而 咖啡礼仪则相对简单的多。深究下去就能发现除客观原因外,这些差异都与东西 方传统文化及人们的思维模式有关。东方人比较感性,讲求融入自然;而西方人 则更加理性,较之于适应环境他们更愿意改变环境。只有了解了这两种文化,才 能更好的理解东西方文化的差异

In fact, tea culture and coflfee culture are different because they have differences in social atmosphere, history and literary background. P
10、eople have done lots of researches on it. The researches can be mainly divided into three directions: research on tea culture, research on coflfee culture, and research on the similarities and differences between them.As about the discussion of tea culture, the researchers mainly talk about the hist
11、ory the protocol, and the influence of tea have on thinking modes, and they only discuss tea culture independently. In the discussion of coflfee culture, they mainly talk about the origin of coffee, the broadcasting of coffee, and the differences of coffee culture between different countries. Yet th
12、ey still talk about coffee culture separately. General Analysis on the Comparison of Chinese Tea Culture and French Coffee Culture by Wang Yiilan goes deeper about these two cultures. (Wang Yiilan : 2008) It is good that she discusses them comparatively, but the shortcoming is that: it only talks ab
13、out coffee culture in France, and it mainly talks about tea and coffee themselves instead of the culture.Considering the present study condition and the shortcomings they have, this thesis will make an analysis on tea culture and coffee culture comparatively in the following sections. In part two, t
14、he thesis will introduce tea culture and coffee culture in details, includes their definitions, origins and classifications. And then in part three, the thesis will make a through analysis on the differences between them. These differences include the different broadcasting method of tea and coffee,
15、 different protocols and the related works. Also in this part, the thesis will introduce the present conditions of tea and coflfee, about tea in western countries and cofiee in China. Finally, the thesis will make a conclusion that these differences are the result of the different thinking modes bet
16、ween the orients and the westerners. The Chinese people believe in nature, while the westerners prefer realism. The Chinese prefer the unity of heaven and humanity while the westerner make the division between heaven and people clear.All the analyses made in the thesis will be strict and specified.
17、Undoubtedly it is helpful for the study of orient and western culture.II.DESCRIPTIONS OF TEA CULTURE ANDMany people are interested in tea culture and coffee culture, but few of them know about the basic knowledge of them. Thus it is necessary for the persons who want to have a further study about te
18、a culture and coflfee culture get acquaintance with the definitions and the differences about the two cultures. Only in this way, can a person starts to savour the two cultures.2.1The Origins of Tea and CoffeeTea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia si
19、nensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a slightly bitter, astringent flavor which many people dont enjoyThere has been an old saying that Shennong, a god in the mythology time, in order to protect his people fro
20、m getting poisoned by eating those unknown herbs, tasted and classified all the herbs he met. One day he got poisoned and was nearly died, then accidentally did he ate the leaves of some Camellia sinensis plant and got cured. Later he found that tea 一 the leaves of Camellia sinensis plant, can detox
21、icate many herbs poison. From that day on, he taught his people to drink tea.Coffee is a brewed drink made from roasted seeds, commonly called coffee beans. They are seeds of co flfee cherries that grow on trees in over 70 countries, cultivated primarily in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
22、 Green unroasted coffee is one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world.The finding of coffee is quite another story. It says that among the 10th century A.D., an old shepherd in Kaffa, a small town of Ethiopia in East Africa, found his sheep were exited and noisy after passing a sma
23、ll hill. Keeping an eye on it, he found there was a kind of red berries. What the sheep ate were those berries. Having a taste of it, he found it difficult to get asleep. Shared his experience with a doctor, they found out the effect of that berry slowly. (San Nian : 2008)Though we can not find any
24、evidence to prove the two stories, the coffee one seems more believable. There could be a shepherd, a doctor, or even a pauper, but a god is far beyond our reach.Looking up the history books, it can be clearly seen that Chinese people prefer to link the unknown things with the god. It seems that how
25、ever horrible the thing is, it will be solved when the god came. If something can not be changed, then it must be the gods will. God makes the hero and the history.What the westerners believe is that, there must be a reason for all those things; the difficulty is to find it out. They believe in them
26、selves, people fight to be the hero and hero makes the history and gods.2.2The Classifications of Tea and CoffeeThere are several ways to classify tea. For example, people can classify tea according to their habitats, or their shapes of leaves, etc. But the most accepted method is that classifying t
27、ea by their colours. There are at least six varieties of tea according to this criterion: white tea, green tea, red tea, yellow tea and black tea. White tea doesnt experience the fermentation but be dried under the sun only. Since it hasnt been stir-fried, the villous on the leaves remained, these v
28、illous make the leaves white. White tea mainly exist in Fujian province. A typical white tea is Shou Mei Tea. Green tea, or may call it oolong tea, is half ferment tea, the edge of the leaves is red while the whole leave is green. The craft of making a cup of oolong is the most complex one so people
29、 call it Kungfu tea. A typical green tea is known as Tikuanyin. Red tea is full ferment tea, the whole leave and soup is red. In the processing, red tea didt experience the kill out but was withered rolled then ferment. A typical red tea is Dianhong. Yellow tea is made just as the white tea but it h
30、as been covered deeply for three days before ifs totally dry, this made the leave and soup yellow. Junshan Silver Needle Tea is a symbolic one of yellow tea. Black tea is over ferment tea. The long time of ferment make the leaves brown. It used to be the main kind of tea sold to the border area. Liu
31、 Bao Tea is referred as a symbol of it. Pu-erh used to be considered as a kind of black tea, but now it is specified out. Because the process of making Pu-erh is different from making black tea. It hasnt ferment. Now Pu-erh refers to the compressed tea in a certain area in Yun Nan.As for coffee, the
32、re are different labels for its classification. One of them is classified by the habitats, such as the Blue Mountain coffee, Brazil coffee and Santos. Blue Mountain coffee refer to coffee made from beans produced in Blue Mountain in Jamaica. It has the taste of fruits. Brazil coffee is coflfee produced in Brazil. The beans was unwashed
