Abstract
The paper looks at the factors which influence the demand for imported consumer goods. It goes on to build appropriate import demand models for analyzing the pattern of imports of tea for consumption in the United States.
From the Paper
"As far as tea is concerned, as is generally believed, it sets its own prices, using prices of its close substitute i.e. coffee, real income, population, price elasticity, income elasticity, cross elasticity, change in the consumer's preferences or habits do more determine the level of demand for its imports in any country. Based on the above proposition, the study will build appropriate import demand models for analyzing the pattern of imports of tea for consumption in the United States. Since tea imports constitute an insignificant share in the total imports of the United States, the variable "the availability of Foreign exchange" has been deliberately excluded from the model. I would surmise that the Import Expenditures would rise as GDP rose and prices fell.
An important reason for the fluctuations in exports is reflected by changes in the value of the dollar relative to foreign currencies. The dollar lost value against foreign currencies in the1970s, making U.S. agricultural products less expensive in the importing countries and, predictably, sales increased. In the early 1980s the dollar gained strength, making U.S. exports more expensive to foreign buyers, and exports declined. The dollar then weakened again and exports recovered somewhat. These trends had the inverse effect on imports (US Census Bureau, 2002)."

From the Paper
"Despite the success of such business concerns as Starbucks, it is tea and not coffee that ranks as the world?s most popular drink next to water. This much-loved beverage is produced from the bright green, oval leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis L. Today, about 75 percent of the tea produced worldwide is black; about 23 percent is green; and approximately 2 percent is oolong. Green tea is obtained from fresh leaves that are steamed and dried and therefore retain a composition more similar to the fresh leaf. The leaves contain several polyphenolic compounds that give tea its specific taste and color. The most significant polyphenols present in tea are flavanol tannins (flavonoids), commonly known as catechins, which are very beneficial antioxidants. Antioxidant is a classification of several organic substances, including vitamins C and E, vitamin A--converted from beta-carotene?the mineral selenium and carotenoids or pigment that adds color to many fruits and vegetables. At the molecular and cellular levels, antioxidants deactivate particles called free radicals (in the form of oxygen). These can damage cell walls in addition to some cell structures and the genetic material within them."

'Book of Tea', 2006.
Reflections on 'The Book of Tea' by Kakuzo Okakura.

Abstract
This paper reviews Kakuzo Okakura's 'Book of Tea'. According to the paper, 'Book of Tea' provides a potent and stimulating introduction to Japanese culture. The paper then takes a look at the idea of Teaism, a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. The paper explains that by focusing on the possibilities of perfecting something small, like brewing and serving a perfect cup of tea, with all the correct ceremony, a sense of harmony and control is attained, even in light of the imperfections of a confusing world.
From the Paper
"Okakura's own prose, with its attitude of whimsy rather than worshipfulness: "What a tempest in a tea cup...Perhaps I betray my own ignorance of the Tea Cult by being so outspoken," is in keeping with the principles of Teaism that he outlines. He makes delightful use of the religious nature of tea, poking fun at Westerners who dislike tea, who call drinking tea a filthy custom as heretics. This lack of reverence towards tea is a key, ironic part of Japanese religiosity, he implies. By not taking things too seriously, the true ethos of tea is manifest. Tea is served with deliberation, but ultimately the pourer knows that it does not matter very much in the grand scheme of things."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the events and issues surrounding the Boston Tea Party. The plan of the research will be to set forth the overall chronology of issues that emerged and established the political context in which the Tea Party could take place, and then to discuss the impact of the incident on the colonies, in particular the British responses that ultimately led to the Revolutionary War.
An appropriate understanding of the importance of the Boston Tea Party cannot be obtained without an understanding of the issues and events that preceded it. The Party, which occurred in 1773, actually had its origins several years earlier, in the wake of the French and Indian War, which ended in 1763. In 1766, Parliament passed the Quartering Act, which provided for "billeting, provisioning and discipline of British forces . . ."

This is placed in the waiting area, as there is no smoking allowed in the Tea House. (Cheeke)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the Japanese 'way of tea'. The paper provides a cursory overview of possible motivations for entering the way of tea, analyzes its major psycho-spiritual principles, and discusses several of its aesthetic values. The paper examines the training process and the experience itself.
From the Paper
"What is it that brings one to study on ones knees for hours at a time for a lifetime, learning more than 200 different detailed procedures for preparing and serving a bowl of tea? Insight into why one might be motivated to choose this discipline over others comes from five related statements of its purpose given by the present Grand Master of the Urasenke lineage of tea. First is to "realize tranquility in relation with others within the environment" (Sen Soshitsu, 1979). In regard to tranquility, it is like a moving meditation, and thus more appealing to some than sitting still meditation. Secondly, it is usually practiced in relatedness with others rather than in solitude, and, thirdly, in an environmental context of both nature (divine creation) and art (human creation), rather than withdrawing the senses as in some forms of meditation. Fourth, this Grand Master, who has spread chado internationally, also speaks of its purpose in terms of bringing peace to the world through a bowl of tea prepared and received with all the heart, which certainly is another appeal to many."

Abstract
This paper documents the events leading up to the violence of the Boston Tea Party on the evening of December 16, 1773.
From the Paper
"When the Boston Tea Party occurred on the evening of December 16,1773, it was the culmination of many years of bad feeling between the British government and her American colonies. The controversy between the two always seemed to hinge on the taxes, which Great Britain required for the upkeep of the American colonies. Starting in 1765, the Stamp Act was intended by Parliament to provide the funds necessary to keep peace between the American settlers and the Native American population. The Stamp Act was loathed by the American colonists and later repealed by parliament. (http://www.bostonteapartyship.com/History.htm) However, the British government quickly enacted other laws designed to solve monetary problems. Each act was met with resistance. The Boston Tea Party was the final act of focused rage against a Parliamentary law."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of how tea was first introduced to the United Kingdom, a discussion of its social significance and impact, followed by a summary of the research in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"To the scientific community, it is the Camellia sinensis (Sivasubramaniam 2004); to school children in the United States, it was one of the causes of the American Revolution and was the focus of a historically significant "party" in Boston to protest British taxation of the colonies (Weinstein 2001); to a legion of faithful in the United Kingdom, though, it is delicious and ubiquitous tea. What is it about this modest beverage that is made by simply steeping leaves in hot water that attracts 90 percent of the world's population (Lane 1993)?"

Abstract
This paper reviews the events and policies which led the American colonists to cast off the leash of England and fight for autonomy. The paper analyzes England's logic and purpose behind the Stamp Act, Townshend Act and Quartering Act. It also discusses the effects of the Seven Years War, Boston Massacre and monopoly of the East India Trading Company on the reasoning of the Americans. Finally, it describes how all of these events led up to the Boston Tea Party.
From the Paper
"Hoping to starve Boston into submission was yet another mistake Britain made. It only united the Colonies more in their fight against the Crown, the other major cities sent supplies to Boston so it could out last the act. England brought the Revolution upon itself, the King and Parliament made poor decisions when it came to the Colonies. England thought that they could force the Colonies into union; they did not recognize that the more they tried to unite, the more the Colonists resisted."
"The Boston Tea Party was indeed the first Act of Revolution in the war, James Stokesbury says, "In fact it [The Boston Tea Party] was the chief turning point in the progression toward revolution (34)." I would say it was also the point of no return, because after such a dramatic work of rebellion the Americans could not crawl back, they had to continue on that path. The tea party set the tone of how the war would be fought and won."

From the Paper
"BACKGROUND
The Boston Tea Party was an act of resistance against the policies of taxation imposed on the American colonies by Great Britain. It was a deliberate act, unlike many of the demonstrations and riots that had taken place in the months before over such issues as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Act. The dumping of the tea into Boston harbor would also be a strong rallying point for the different elements in colonial society and would be greeted with cheers by the people in and around Boston. Historians have changed their view of the degree to which the Boston Tea party was decisive in propelling the nation toward revolution and of the role played by class differences in the onset of the Revolution.
Prior to the start of the American Revolution, there was ..."
