“	Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and sweet as love.	”
—Turkish proverb

“	If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you.	”
—William Ewart Gladstone

[edit] Pictures of tea

See Category:Infobox_Tea/No_Picture if you can take a picture and add it so that the page fulfills its purpose. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Tea/Picture Guidelines for guidelines on how to take pictures.

Also check Wikipedia:WikiProject Tea/Free Pictures for a list of companies that allow the use of picture resources from their site under an acceptable license or by attribution.

[edit] Community forums

A community forum has been established to help manage common goals of the associated Food and Drink WikiProjects. A general forum can be found here.

Goal specific forums

• Guidelines forum - This forum has been set up for the various Food and Drink projects to develop a set of Manual of Style guidelines for use in articles under the auspices of all the related Food and Drink WikiProjects and task forces. This would be similar to the MoS guidelines for biographies or legal articles.

• Restaurant notability guidelines discussion - This guideline is intended to extend WP:CORP, in no way to replace its purpose, in regard to restaurants. It is also not intended to replace, supplant, or otherwise alter the standard notability requirements.

The reason this extension of the notability requirements is necessary is that there is a constant inflow of pages for restaurants that do not have, or have a very tenuous, notability.

[edit] Creating new pages or editing previous versions

If you plan to add a variety page (i.e. Da Hong Pao) you should follow the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tea/Guidelines. For pages of grouped tea (i.e. Oolong Tea) the explanation of common pitfalls and guidelines is availible too, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Tea/Type Guidelines.

[edit] Templates

An example page is availible, it is the Yunnan tea article.

• Infobox for Tea, this is a general infobox suitable for the various varieties e.g. Da Hong Pao, but not suitable for things like Wiyi Mountain Oolong, it can be found at Infobox Tea. To use it in a page you must include something like this:

 {{Infobox_Tea  | Tea_name   = Yunnan  | Tea_type   = [[Black_tea|Black]]  | Tea_color  = Black  | Tea_image  = [[Image:Black-tea.jpg|200px|Black tea]]  | Tea_origin = [[Yunnan| Yunnan Province]] [[China]]  | Tea_names  = Other Names  | Tea_quick  = malty }} 

• Color definitions for various tea types are defined, as you may notice they create thin horizontal lines, please do not be fooled by Tea_color being the color of the brew, it is merely the type of tea in a non-linked form so that the color definition can be retrieved from, in the above example, Template: Infobox_Tea/Types/Black. The following are currently defined.

1. color for White
2. color for Black
3. color for Oolong
4. color for Green
5. color for Yellow
6. color for Pouchong
7. color for Wuyi teas
8. color for Puerh teas

Please add as required.

• General page template is Template: Tea new type article but it is out of date.
