다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The tea culture of the United States was centered on New Amsterdam, now known as New York, under the overall influence of England, and European culture came into being on the Atlantic coast and formed tea culture. In the upper classes, the tea room was used as a place for political meeting and social gathering in the British Georgian style architecture and interior decoration. Tea culture in 18th century US changed greatly and evolved. Beginning in the 17th century, people started to drink tea little by little as they encountered Japanese green tea and Chinese green tea. Green tea is Songla, Heyson, Bing or Imperial, and fermented tea is Bohea, Congou, Souchon, and Pekoe. Bohea was a pronoun of fermented tea. Another name for Orange Pekoe is likely to be Yin Zen tea (silvern needle tea, Bai Hao Yin Zen). Not only did the ladies provide tea, but they also offered various kinds of tea with various tea tools to accommodate the tastes of their guests. After independence, tea trade between the United States and China entered commerce. The ratio of green tea to fermented tea consumed at that time was 20/80%. Tea sales were expanded through advertising and tea garden. The tea culture was developed by making various tea tools around the upper class and instigating tea parties.
