1.4 The Story of Tea

How did tea first come to India?चहा भारतात प्रथम कसा आला? Historians think that tea had been known in India as a medicinal plant since ancient times,इतिहासकारांचे मत आहे की चहा हा प्राचीन काळापासून औषधी वनस्पती म्हणून ओळखला जात होता, but tea was not drunk for pleasure until the British began to establish plantations in the 19th century. परंतु १ thव्या शतकात ब्रिटीशांनी वृक्षारोपण करण्यास सुरवात केल्याशिवाय चहा आनंदाने मद्यपान करीत  नव्हता. In the 1770s, the British East India Company made several unsuccessful attempts1770 to grow tea in Bhutan and Assam, with seeds from China, 1770 च्या दशकात, ब्रिटिश ईस्ट इंडिया कंपनीने चीनकडून बियाणे घेऊन, भूतान आणि आसाममध्ये चहा पिकविण्याचे अनेक अयशस्वी प्रयत्न केले.  
Although these attempts failed, the botanist Robert Bruce in 1823 discovered tea plants growing wild in the Upper Brahmaputra valley. हे प्रयत्न अयशस्वी झाले असले तरी 1823 मध्ये वनस्पतिशास्त्रज्ञ रॉबर्ट ब्रुस यांनी अप्पर ब्रह्मपुत्र व्हॅलीमध्ये चहाच्या वनस्पती वन्य वाढत असल्याचे शोधले. In May 1838, the first Indian tea from Assam was sent to England for public sale.मे 1838 मध्ये आसाममधील पहिला भारतीय चहा सार्वजनिक विक्रीसाठी इंग्लंडला पाठविला गेला. Since then India has gone on to become one of the leading producer of tea in the world. तेव्हापासून भारत जगातील चहा उत्पादित देशांपैकी एक बनला आहे.

Tea lovers claim that tea may be able to reduce the risk of cancer, control blood pressure, fight viruses in our body and actually help us live longer!चहाप्रेमींचा असा दावा आहे की चहा कर्करोगाचा धोका कमी करण्यास, रक्तदाब नियंत्रित करण्यास, आपल्या शरीरातील विषाणूंविरूद्ध लढण्यासाठी आणि वास्तविकपणे आपल्याला अधिक आयुष्य जगण्यास मदत करू शकेल!

Our body produces chemicals called free radicals.आपले शरीर फ्री रॅडिकल्स नावाचे रसायने तयार करते.  They can damage our body and our health.ते आपल्या शरीराचे आणि आपल्या आरोग्यास हानी पोहोचवू शकतात. Tea contains antioxidants called flavonoids.चहामध्ये फ्लेव्होनॉइड्स नावाचे अँटीऑक्सिडेंट असतात. Scientists believe these help to protect our system against free radicals. शास्त्रज्ञांचा असा विश्वास आहे की ही आमची प्रणाली मुक्त रॅडिकल्सपासून संरक्षण करण्यासाठी मदत करते.

For many people tea is a popular drink to have with friends. In many countries around the world, tea drinking is an important social occasion.

Japan, China, Russia and Korea have special tea ceremonies and traditions. These ceremonies give people the time to relax and enjoy the taste and the smell of the tea.

Most people in Japan belong to a 'tea club' where they go every week to take part in the tea ceremony.
 
 

बर्‍याच लोकांसाठी मित्रांसह चहा हे एक लोकप्रिय पेय आहे. जगातील बर्‍याच देशांमध्ये चहा पिणे हा एक महत्त्वाचा सामाजिक प्रसंग आहे.

जपान, चीन, रशिया आणि कोरियामध्ये चहाचे विशेष कार्यक्रम आणि परंपरा आहेत. या समारंभांमुळे लोकांना चहाचा स्वाद आणि गंध कमी होण्यास आराम मिळतो.

जपानमधील बहुतेक लोक 'चहा क्लब' चे आहेत जेथे ते दर आठवड्यात चहा सोहळ्यासाठी भाग घेतात.

Ordinary people also feel that tea ceremonies gre spiritual occasions that are closely associated with their religion. 'Tea,' they say, is a healthy, enjoyable and stimulating drink, full of good qualities. It reduces loneliness and calms your heart; it is a comfort in everyday life!
सामान्य लोकांना असेही वाटते की चहा समारंभ त्यांच्या धर्माशी संबंधित असलेल्या आध्यात्मिक प्रसंगी. ते म्हणतात, 'चहा, एक निरोगी, आनंददायक आणि उत्तेजक पेय आहे, चांगल्या गुणांनी परिपूर्ण आहे. हे एकाकीपणा कमी करते आणि आपले हृदय शांत करते; रोजच्या जीवनातला हा एक दिलासा आहे!

Many Koreans today still have tea ceremonies for important occasions including special birthdays and anniversaries.ब Many्याच कोरीयन लोकांमध्ये आजही विशेष वाढदिवस आणि वर्धापन दिन समावेश महत्वाच्या प्रसंगी चहा समारंभ आहे.

In most areas of China the tea is made in small clay teapot. At tea ceremonies, cups are only half-filled. The Chinese believe that the rest of the cup must be filled with friendship and affection.चीनच्या बर्‍याच भागात चहा लहान मातीच्या टीपॉटमध्ये बनविला जातो. चहा समारंभात कप फक्त अर्ध भरलेले असतात. चिनी लोकांचा असा विश्वास आहे की बाकीचा कप मैत्री आणि आपुलकीने भरला पाहिजे.

 In Russia, tea is made and served in samovars - a special Russian tea kettle, made of metal.रशियामध्ये, चहा बनविला जातो आणि समोव्हर्समध्ये सर्व्ह केला जातो - एक विशेष रशियन चहाची केटली, धातूची बनलेली.

Vietnam produces special varieties of tea such as lotus tea and jasmine tea.व्हिएतनाममध्ये कमळा चहा आणि चमेली चहासारखे विशेष प्रकारचे चहा तयार होतो.

In Japan, tea is made using powdered- green tea called 'matcha'. The tea is mixed with boiled water using a bamboo whisk and served in small bowls.जपानमध्ये चहा पावडर-ग्रीन टी वापरुन बनवला जातो ज्याला 'मचा' म्हणतात. बांबूच्या झटक्याने चहा उकडलेल्या पाण्यात मिसळला जातो आणि लहान भांड्यात सर्व्ह केला जातो.

And how about India ? A cup of tea is offered to any guest or visitor as a token of hospitality even in the humblest of homes. Most Indians like their tea hot with a good deal of milk and sugar in it. In the rainy season, it is brewed with ginger to give it additional medicinal properties. Others add spices like cardamom, cloves or mace to add to its taste and flavour. Tea is a must after a plate of spicy snacks, especially in the morning and evenings.आणि भारताबद्दल काय? कोणत्याही अतिथीला किंवा पाहुण्याला चहाचा एक कप घरातील सर्वात नम्र व्यक्तींमध्येही आदरातिथ्य म्हणून दर्शविला जातो. त्यात बर्‍याच भारतीयांना चहा गरम, चांगले दूध आणि त्यात साखर असते. पावसाळ्यामध्ये, अतिरिक्त औषधी गुणधर्म देण्यासाठी त्यास आले तयार केले जाते. इतर चव आणि चव वाढविण्यासाठी इतर वेलची, लवंगा किंवा गदासारखे मसाले घालतात. चहा मसालेदार स्नॅक्सची प्लेट नंतर विशेषतः सकाळी आणि संध्याकाळी असणे आवश्यक आहे.

Some connoisseurs relish delicately flavoured jasmine tea, green tea, lemon tea and even iced tea! How about you?
काही पारंपारिक नाजूक चव, चमेली चहा, ग्रीन टी, लिंबू चहा आणि आयस्ड चहा देखील बनवतात! तुमचे काय?
