Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].] 1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or] Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but has been introduced to some extent into some other countries. Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also by various other characteristic differences, as of taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and quality are dependent upon the treatment which the leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands upon a table, to free them from a portion of their moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in the air for some time after being gathered, and then tossed about with the hands until they become soft and flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until the leaves have become of the proper color. The principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial, and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou}, {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong}, and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson. Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached Europe till after the establishment of intercourse between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese, however, did little towards the introduction of the herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century, that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8] --Encyc.

Anchor \An"chor\ ([acr][nsm]"k[etil]r), n. [OE. anker, AS. ancor, oncer, L. ancora, sometimes spelt anchora, fr. Gr. 'a`gkyra, akin to E. angle: cf. F. ancre. See {Angle}, n.] 1. A iron instrument which is attached to a ship by a cable (rope or chain), and which, being cast overboard, lays hold of the earth by a fluke or hook and thus retains the ship in a particular station. Note: The common anchor consists of a straight bar called a shank, having at one end a transverse bar called a stock, above which is a ring for the cable, and at the other end the crown, from which branch out two or more arms with flukes, forming with the shank a suitable angle to enter the ground. Note: Formerly the largest and strongest anchor was the sheet anchor (hence, Fig., best hope or last refuge), called also {waist anchor}. Now the bower and the sheet anchor are usually alike. Then came the best bower and the small bower (so called from being carried on the bows). The stream anchor is one fourth the weight of the bower anchor. Kedges or kedge anchors are light anchors used in warping. 2. Any instrument or contrivance serving a purpose like that of a ship's anchor, as an arrangement of timber to hold a dam fast; a contrivance to hold the end of a bridge cable, or other similar part; a contrivance used by founders to hold the core of a mold in place. 3. Fig.: That which gives stability or security; that on which we place dependence for safety. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul. --Heb. vi. 19. 4. (Her.) An emblem of hope. 5. (Arch.) (a) A metal tie holding adjoining parts of a building together. (b) Carved work, somewhat resembling an anchor or arrowhead; -- a part of the ornaments of certain moldings. It is seen in the echinus, or egg-and-anchor (called also {egg-and-dart}, {egg-and-tongue}) ornament. 6. (Zo[94]l.) One of the anchor-shaped spicules of certain sponges; also, one of the calcareous spinules of certain Holothurians, as in species of {Synapta}. {Anchor ice}. See under {Ice}. {Anchor ring}. (Math.) Same as {Annulus}, 2 (b). {Anchor stock} (Naut.), the crossbar at the top of the shank at right angles to the arms. {The anchor comes home}, when it drags over the bottom as the ship drifts. {Foul anchor}, the anchor when it hooks, or is entangled with, another anchor, or with a cable or wreck, or when the slack cable entangled. {The anchor is acockbill}, when it is suspended perpendicularly from the cathead, ready to be let go. {The anchor is apeak}, when the cable is drawn in do tight as to bring to ship directly over it. {The anchor is atrip}, or {aweigh}, when it is lifted out of the ground. {The anchor is awash}, when it is hove up to the surface of the water. {At anchor}, anchored. {To back an anchor}, to increase the holding power by laying down a small anchor ahead of that by which the ship rides, with the cable fastened to the crown of the latter to prevent its coming home. {To cast anchor}, to drop or let go an anchor to keep a ship at rest. {To cat the anchor}, to hoist the anchor to the cathead and pass the ring-stopper. {To fish the anchor}, to hoist the flukes to their resting place (called the bill-boards), and pass the shank painter. {To weigh anchor}, to heave or raise the anchor so as to sail away. | |
