...Asahikawa. Squeezed in with the mayor and a gaggle of local reporters was a bright-eyed youngster named Noriaki Imai. The 18-year-old had just graduated from high school in a nearby town a few days earlier, and he was washing down his grilled chicken skewers with iced oolong tea instead of the local ale. Although polite to his elders, Imai wasn't afraid to speak up, arguing his antiwar stance with the conviction of a veteran activist. Interviewed by TIME that day, Imai spoke of his dreams: studying in England, and becoming a journalist in order to give...
...millions of tea drinkers in China , and yet diseases like sars manage to take hold and spread. Finally, a word about the different types of tea. Green tea has more of the chemically simpler antioxidants called catechins, whereas black tea contains more complex antioxidants called theaflavins and thearubigins.

Finally, a word about the different types of tea. There is only one true tea plant, Camellia sinensis. (Herbal teas are made from other plants.)

Each pot of tea ($5) is accompanied with a bowl of salted peanuts, a western addition to a Chinese staple, and refills are unlimited. If you simply open the cover of the teapot, a server will immediately come by your table to add more. As Tony, our waiter...
...purist, the array of options at Dado are few, but well-chosen. Song says that many patrons who come in asking for green tea are befuddled by Dado’s four premium options: Japanese Green, Korean Green, Oolong Green and Oolong Green with Ginseng. A sit-‘n’-stay pot costs $3, slightly more than Tealuxe’s personal pot, but the high quality makes an extra dime worthwhile. If you come with friends, they’ll each have to pay $1.75 to share the pot (a group of three would...
