Co�ee and tea traditions from all over the world

England High tea is very popular in England, Scotland and Ire-land, where it is also referred to as ‘meat tea’ or ‘eating tea’. The British high tea is the meal which is served with tea between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm and typically includes white sandwiches and beans. It di�ers signi�cantly from what Europeans call high tea, which evolved as a ritual in the 19th Century, when supper was usually served at 8:30 pm. Best remembered as the creator of the British high tea, Anna Russel, the Duchess of Bedford, found it impossible to wait too long between meals. She therefore introduced a light meal of bread, butter, biscuits and cakes to accompa-ny her tea at around 4:00 pm. Anna's a�uent friends adopted the ritual, and the idea subsequently caught on with citizens from all walks of life. A new English tradition of serving tea with various sweet and savoury delicacies had been born.

Morocco Drinking tea in Morocco is a serious and honourable a�air. Moroccans serve tea (Nana) four to six times a day as a special ritual mostly performed by men. The tea (often Chinese green tea) is served from a silver teapot in special glasses. It contains fresh mint and is presented on a tray. The tea is poured out and immedi-ately returned to the teapot. This is done several times to increase the full �avour and to reduce its bitterness. Fresh mint is then added to the tea, followed by a large quantity of sugar to eliminate any bitterness that remains. Pouring out the tea requires tremendous skill, seeing that it is done in one �uent motion from a distance of 50 cm. A skilled host will not spill a single drop. This rather elaborate method allows for the tea to cool in order for the guests to drink it straight away.

JapanAccording to Japanese tradition, drinking tea is an intricate ritual in which an eye for detail and subtle-ty play a vital role. Japan boasts numerous schools where the tea ceremony is still taught. The ultimate objective of the ceremony is to be engulfed by the at-mosphere and to experience harmony. All items used in the ceremony are of equal signi�cance; the box for the powdered green tea, the teapot and cups, and the bowls in which sweet cakes and small meals are served. The drinking ritual is equally unique. Guests are expected to sit on their heels on the �oor, and no-body drinks until the person sitting next to them does so. The cup is lifted with the right hand, supported un-derneath by the left, and raised to eye-level. The host then shows his or her gratitude by bowing slightly, once to the hostess or host and once to Buddha. The cup is then rotated, so that the most attractive side faces the guest. The tea cup cannot be put down before being emptied, seeing that this causes the tea to cool. One of the more popular tea varieties is Matcha, which is currently even regarded as a regular super food. The tea leaves are ground into a powder, creating a substance highly bene�cial to both body and spirit.

Tea and co�ee are the most popular drinks in the world. They are consumed in almost every country, even though not always in the same way. After all, di�erent cultures have di�erent traditions. As customs and traditions spread around the world, we gradually learn more about the many rituals involved in drinking co�ee and tea, several of which are explained below.

Co�ee and tea traditions from all over the world

ItalyThis country of es-presso co�ee and the inventor of the co�ee bar is one of the biggest roasted co�ee exporters in the world. In Italy, making co�ee is considered a true art form, and you cannot simply call any espresso an espresso. According to the Istitu-to Nazionale Espresso Italiano, the organisation monitoring the quality of co�ee in Italy, preparing an espresso requires 6 to 7 grams of �nely ground Arabica co�ee beans through which the barista, the person preparing and serving the espresso, pushes 30 ml of water at a temperature of 88°C for exactly 30 seconds. Ideally, an espresso may not contain more than 20 to 30 ml of liquid and must be covered with a �nely textured froth that is ‘hazelnut brown to dark brown in colour and con-tains yellow-brown spots’. The co�ee should spread a strong aroma, with a hint of �owers, fruit, toasted bread and chocolate. Its �avour should be round, robust and velvety, with a perfect balance between bitter and sour.

USAThe United States are the biggest co�ee consumers in the world. Co�ee-to-go found its origin here in 1971, when the �rst Starbucks opened its doors in Seattle. This marked the start of what was to become the world's biggest co�ee bar chain, with approximately 20,000 outlets in 64 countries. The �rst drive-through Starbucks was opened in 1994 for those in need of a quick cup of co�ee en route. Starbucks extended its business across the borders in 1996 when it opened its �rst co�ee bars in Japan and Singapore. The only co�ee-roasting plant operated by Starbucks outside the US is located in the Netherlands and has been operational since 2002. All of its European outlets are supplied from here.

Netherlands‘Een bakkie doen’, or ‘Let's grab a co�ee’, is now �rmly embedded in Dutch culture. Apart from starting the day with a cup of fresh co�ee, the Dutch attach an

important social signi�cance to drinking co�ee. When you pay someone a visit, they will always o�er you co�ee, and one cannot imagine working anywhere without a co�ee break. The Netherlands is one of the biggest co�ee drinking nations in the world. Until about 15 years ago, �ltered co�ee was the most popular variety in Dutch living rooms. Today, howe-ver, there are many variations on the original �ltered co�ee, including co�ee pads and co�ee cartridges. Espresso machines are also becoming increasingly popular, and the impact of this trend has a signi�cant impact on our co�ee drinking habits and culture. Rather than brewing an entire pot of co�ee, we now prefer each cup to be prepared separately. A highly appreciated alternative for co�ee in the Netherlands is tea. Tea shops and the use of loose tea have gained in popularity. Even at work, the quality of the tea has improved substantially.

EthiopiaInviting someone for co�ee is not done lightly in Ethiopia, where it is considered a delicacy and hand-led accordingly. Co�ee ceremonies can be a lengthy a�air, during which guests are required to �nish at least three cups. Ethiopians grow up with the best co�ee available, seeing that they live in the country from which it originates and to which the Arabica cof-fee plant is indigenous. It is considered quite normal to have co�ee bushes growing in the backyard. The co�ee berries are carefully sorted by hand, a process commonly practised by women. First they wash the green beans and roast them in a small pan. Once the colour of the roasted beans is dark enough, the pan and smoking beans are passed around and a fan is used to spread the delightful fragrance across the room for everyone to enjoy. The beans are then coar-sely ground in a mortar and placed in a special co�ee pot, a Jebena. Water is added and the mixture is brought to the boil above hot coals.

Shake it baby!There are not many cold drinks that inspire as much continuous experimentation as the cocktail does.

Whereas gin tonic was last year's favourite summer drink, this year's favourite seems to be Dark ‘n Stormy.

Less is more Move over Bloody Mary and Sex on the Beach, and make way for this year’s cocktails that contain only two or three ‘simple’ ingredients. Today you can �nd good, high quality drinks in many places, which lessens the need of mixing numerous ingredients to achieve a tasty combination. Shaking cocktails has never been so easy!

What set the tone for this is the immensely popu-lar Gin & Tonic. It's impossible to imagine summer without this refreshing cocktail of gin, tonic and a slice of lime. And the fun part is that the classic Gin & Tonic is used as a base for creating numerous other cocktails. A dash of �owery elderberry syrup or half a peach cut into little pieces makes it taste even better.

Dark ‘n StormyDark ‘n Stormy, currently the most popular cocktail, is an alternative for which you only need a few ingredients. This trendy cocktail is made by mixing rum with ginger ale, served with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass. Let yourself be surprised by the explosion of �avour at the �rst sip. This is not just a pleasant drink for summer days at a terrace café. Its strong rum �avour also warms the heart and body in winter.

VermouthMany are wondering whether vermouth will become the new gin. In our opinion, both drinks have a lot going for them. Vermouth is a forti�ed wine that has been brought to taste with �avours and spices. As is the case with gin, vermouth has a slightly bitter taste and is often used as an ingredient in cocktails. That gin and vermouth form a great combination is amply demonstrated by the Negroni. This cocktail consists of gin, red vermouth and Campari. Don't forget to add some ice cubes and a segment of orange peel.

Skinny cocktailsMost cocktails contain a lot of sugar, which makes them less suitable for the current healthy lifestyle. Thankfully, there are also healthy variations, such as the Skinny Bitch. Fill a glass with vodka, sparkling water and ice cubes. Give it a stir and enjoy!

Shake it babyYou don't have to go to a trendy cocktail bar to enjoy a Mojito or Aperol Spritz. Bar accessories from Leopold Vienna will help you prepare the most de-licious cocktails in your very own home. Research in the Netherlands has shown that this is done more and more often. With friends in the garden or as an aperitif before dinner; cocktails have de�nitely become part of the domestic sphere.

In 1980, under the leadership of Italian architect and designer Ettore Sottsass, a group of designers and architects established the Memphis Group, by whom the Memphis style was created. Everything designed by the Memphis Group, from furniture to fabrics and even buil-dings, is characterised by a sense of cheerfulness and the explicit use of colour. Many of the designs in this particular style are graphic and incorporate ‘cartoonesque’ features.

The current trend is a happy and cheerful design, in which furniture has unexpected shapes or is �nished in bright primary colours, such as the triangular cabinets and round tables. The fabrics used in this style have almost no texture and are applied with abundant creativity to create almost sparkling furniture items, such as sofas. A range of crazy accessories comple-ment this trend.

MEMPHIS

We all make tea, but what does it take to make the perfect cup of tea? We asked Dutch tea som-melier champion Mariëlla Erkens, seeing that she knows almost everything there is to know on the subject. The �rst thing you do when you make a good cup of tea is to trust your own sense of taste, she explains. Where one person might consider the tea too weak, the other considers it delightfully subtle. There are, however, some rules that always apply to making tea.

Choice of water Seeing that 99% of a cup of tea is water, that water has to be fresh and as pure as possible. In some areas tap water isn't always that good, and a lot of things start to happen when you boil it to make tea. You must have occasionally seen the residue that is left behind in a tea cup or teapot. This is caused by a reaction between the calcium and magnesium in the water and the tea itself, which has an adverse e�ect on the �avour. It also leaves a thin layer of residue in your tea cup and on your teeth. In most cases, tap water is therefore not suitable for prepa-ring a perfect cup of tea.

Then what is?Use soft water, �ltered water for example, to make tea. Your tea will look very di�erent and appear much clearer. Seeing that soft water is also produ-ced by �lter systems, you are not limited to bottled water. In some municipalities, soft water already co-mes out of the mains. When using bottled mineral water or spring water, check its dry residual value. Dry residual value refers to the quantity of solid substances in mg, in particular minerals and salts, that remain when 1 litre of water is evaporated. Use water with a low dry residual value for the best cup of tea.

The temperature of the teaWhen making tea, the temperature of the water is important. Pou-ring excessively hot water on green tea will increase its bitterness. In general, it's better to use water at a temperature of between 65 and 83 degrees for green tea. Opinions di�er as to the required temperature for white tea. Some say that the water shouldn't be hotter than 80 degrees, while others say that it should be at least 95 to 100 degrees. Black tea tastes best when it is made with water at a temperature of between 90 and 95 degrees. The brewing time of tea is a matter of personal preference. One person leaves it to brew for 2 to 3 minutes, while another goes for 4 minutes. For the perfect cup, use a tea of good origin, made at the correct tem-perature in fresh, soft water with a PH value of 6 to 7.

Double-walledOnce the tea is made to perfection, you want to make sure that you can enjoy it to the very last drop. Bredemeijer has double-walled teapots that keep the tea hot for up to an hour.

The perfect cup of tea... According to tea sommelier Mariëlla Erkens

Tea sommelierWe are familiar with the term sommelier where wine is concerned, but what exactly is a tea sommelier? A tea expert! And not just in preparing the tea. A tea sommelier also has extensive knowledge of the production, harvest, history and background of tea. The profession of tea sommelier is now widely recognised.

Storing wineHow long can you store a bottle of wine once it has been opened? Exposing wine to oxygen when opening a bottle is bene�cial to its �avours, but exposing the wine to oxygen for a prolonged period of time has a detrimen-tal e�ect. The wine then increasingly exudes a strong, unpleasant smell and begins to taste more like vinegar. If you store the wine in a vacuum, it is no longer exposed to oxygen and retains its �avours for a much longer period of time.

Clinking glassesThe story goes that in the old days people deliberately clinked glasses in order to slosh wine from one glass to the other as proof that the host had not poisoned the wine. In formal circles, however, clinking glasses is considered inappropriate, seeing that men and women of standing and wealth associate it with drinking sprees and excessi-ve alcohol consumption. In family circles or with friends, clinking is very much appreciated as a sign of friendship and solidarity.

WINE O’CLOCKOn the surface of it, serving wine seems to be a fairly straight-forward process. You select a bottle, take a wine glass, remove the cork from the bottle and pour the wine into the glass. In reality, however, no-thing could be further from the truth. Pouring wine is an art that requires both skill and knowledge, and although we can't all be true sommeliers, there are some basic rules that everyone can apply. They will enable you to handle the wine professionally and, perhaps more importantly, help you and your guests to enjoy the wine even more.

TemperatureThere are many misunderstandings about the correct temperature of wine. White wine is often served too cold and red wine too warm. When a wine is served too cool, it loses its aroma, and wine that is served too warm has a stronger alcoholic e�ect. The process of allowing the wine to achieve the right temperature is referred to as chambré, which derives from the French noun ‘chambre’, or room. The wine must be served at room temperature, but bear in mind that a room temperature of 20 °C is too high for any type of wine. It is then better to serve the wine slightly too cold than too warm.

Opening the bottleThese days, most wine bottles have a screw cap, which is a shame, seeing that opening a corked wine bottle is a highly enjoyable ritual that can seriously a�ect the mood and expectations of your guests. There are dozens of di�erent types of corkscrews available, but the traditional waiter corkscrew is still the most suitable for uncorking a bottle. When opening the bottle, make sure that the point of the corkscrew is placed directly at the centre of the cork and that the cork is not pierced or broken. This prevents pieces of cork from being deposited in the wine.

Cara�ng or decanting Cara�ng and decanting are two entirely di�erent pro-cesses. Decanting is done to separate the residue in old wines from the wine itself by pouring the wine into a slim carafe. Ideally, it should be done over a burning candle, so that you know when the residue is about to be poured out of the bottle. Cara�ng is the process of aerating a young wine to open and deliver its �avours. It involves increasing the wine’s exposure to oxygen by pouring it into a wide carafe.

Tip: Did you forget to cool the wine in the refrigerator? Leopold Vienna has ice sticks that can be inserted into a bottle, causing the wine to cool

quickly.

CLASSIC ELEGANCE

This somewhat dreamy castle-style interior is associated with elegance and luxury. Typical of this style is the use of a warm colour palette, with dark shades of green and blue and subtle pastels. The furniture is sleek and impeccably �nished, as is evident from the elegant legs under the sofas and chairs. The rooms are light and elevated, making them appear very spacious and airy. Subtle pastel colours and warm shades merge with an array of crystal ornaments, chandeliers, silver, velvet-like fabrics and beautiful old wooden �oors. Allow yourself to be inspired by the purity and sophistication of this style.

Nothing quite contributes to a special atmosp-here as colour. Warm tones create a sense of intimacy, while cold colours provide a touch of refreshment. Vivid, bright colours add liveliness to a room. Colours can make a room appear bigger or smaller. The range of colours you apply is a matter of personal preference.

Go for bigColours serve all sorts of purposes, and selecting and applying them is an immensely enjoyable pro-cess. Combining colours or speci�c colour groups in particular can do wonders for your interior, especially given the fact that the number of suitable colour combinations is much bigger then you think. Go for big, and paint an entire wall in one particular colour. Without other alterations, the room then looks and feels entirely di�erent. What do you do if you don't feel like painting but still want to create colourful highlights in your house? You opt for large furniture in speci�c colour tones. Go for a pastel carpet, for exam-ple, a yellow ochre chair or a strikingly coloured sofa.

Subtle addition of colourAre you the type of person who enjoys creating dif-ferent atmospheres in your house on a regular basis? Then go for accessories in di�erent colours. They can easily be replaced by accessories in other colours. Combine a trendy yellow hassock with a mint green decorative cushion, for example. Select colour com-binations that are in line with your personal prefe-rences. If you prefer tranquillity and serenity, then refrain from combining vivid colours. Stick to di�erent shades within a speci�c colour group (e.g. earth tones or pastels) and add a subtle touch in the form of silver, gold or brass accessories.

What do colours tell you?The choices we make when decorating a house tell us a lot about our character. We reveal ourselves not only by our selection of a speci�c style, the furniture we buy and the type of �oor we choose, but also by the colours we apply. Considerable research has been done on what our choice of colours tells us about our personality. The outcome is that people with a preference for the same colour seem to have similar personalities.

NEW YORK LOFT

Loft living is a dream many interior design enthusiasts share, especially for those with a loft in New York in mind. Genuine loft interiors have speci�c features that are easily included in other living spaces.

Start by creating a space that is as open as possible, in which features such as concrete �oors and brick walls, with or without pipes, can still be seen. Leave those features exposed. The interior requires robust furniture items, acces-sories and lighting that give it an almost industrial look. Opt for art with or without colour and leave the windows uncovered where possible.

Sweet PetiteSilver is and always has been popular as a gift for children. In earlier days, the thought behind birth sil-ver was that it could be melted down at a later stage. It was considered as a type of insurance for the new-born child. We know that the gift of silver at birth has been a custom since the 17th Century, but it proba-bly already existed before that time. Up to the year 1600, silver was reserved solely for the clergy and high nobility. As travelling became increasingly com-monplace in 17th Century, so did trade. This resulted in more people being able to a�ord silver.

From your mother's kneeThe oldest birth gifts that we know of are silver birth spoons, in which the name and birth date of the baby were engraved. Later in life the engra-vings included the wedding date, name of the spouse and possibly child-ren and ultimately the date of the person’s demise. Antique birth spoons often bear witness to an entire family history! These days, the engravings are usually limited to the date of birth and the name of the child, but many adults still possess the cutlery that was once given to them as a child, which they subsequently pass on to their own children.

RattlesIn addition to birth spoons, the �rst rattles or tinkling bells began to ap-pear in the 17th Century. Tinkling bells were meant to scare o� evil spirits and protect the new-born child. Often a wooden or bone ring would be attached to a rattle for the baby to nibble on. Rattles (with a plastic ring) are still very popular as a birth gift today.

BaptismIn the old days, new-born children were only �rst presented to the outside world at their baptism. For this occasion, the family commonly gave the child a birth gift of silver. As time went by, baptising ceremonies were pus-hed to a later date, as a result of which silver gifts were presented at the moment of birth rather than at the baptism.

Less polishingAnother change in respect of old traditions is that most of the gifts these days are silver-plated, not pure silver. The advantage is that they retain their lustre much longer and do not have to be polished as often. They are also much more a�ordable than gifts that are made of pure silver, making them accessible to a much wider group of enthusiasts.

ZilverstadZilverstad manufactures exclusive silver-plated children's gifts, even for babies and toddlers. They include photo frames, rattles, children's cutlery, children's mugs, piggy banks and tooth boxes. Many of our collections feature well-known �gures which children recognise and are guaranteed to enjoy, such as mi�y, Snoopy, the Smurfs, Charmmykitty and Woezel and Pip.
