Visual Evaluation of 'The Way of Tea' Based on Questionnaire Survey Between Chinese and Japanese

摘要

In this paper, "The way of tea" process conducted by expert, non-expert and beginner was investigated. Firstly, final tea made by expert, non-expert and beginner applying three kinds of tea whisks were taken into photos. Afterwards, random ranked tea photos were employed as visual evaluation questionnaire and subjective ranking material. In order to compare and characterize "The way of tea" process difference, 10 Japanese and 10 Chinese participates were chosen as evaluation subjects. Consequently, it can be concluded that both Japanese and Chinese are able to distinguish expert's tea as top rank easily because of sufficient small bubble size on the tea surface.
