3) Classification of beverages
Beverages are broadly classified into the following:
Alcoholic beverages
Non-alcoholic beverages
Non-Alcoholic Beverages
The term non-alcoholic beverages cover drinks that are either
totally free from alcohol or that have less than 0.5 percent
alcohol by volume (abv). It includes a gamut of drinks from hot
to cold and from simple to exotic. Some of these drinks are made
in the still room while some are made in the dispense bar. In an
establishment where dispense bar is not available, the drinks may
be collected from the still room. Every sector of the food service
industry serves one or more type of non-alcoholic drinks.
Establishments need not have a license to sell non-alcoholic
5
beverages. It should be noted that water, is not covered by the
term beverage.
The following are the categories of non-alcoholic beverages:
6
Tea
It is defined as a universally drunk beverage made by infusing
the leaves of and evergreen Asiatic shrub called “ Camellia
Sinensis”. There are two main types of the tea plant 1. Indian
And 2. Chinese with numerous varieties and hybrids .Best teas
are cultivated at an altitude of 200 mts. The tea producing areas
are located between 40 degree North and 41 degree South. The
regions where good tea is cultivated generally have a hot and
7
humid climate and a winter, which is neither very dry nor very
cold.
Types (Market forms) of Tea
1. Tea Blends
Tea blends are a mixture of two or more varieties of tea grown on
various plantations e.g. orange pekoe, Broken Orange pekoe,
Earl Grey, Darjeeling etc.
8
2. Tea bags
These are the modern convenient version of loose tea. They may
contain up to 30 varieties of teas that have been blended together.
The material used to make the bags is strong, yet porous enough
to impart the flavour of the tea. They don’t interfere with the
flavour of the tea and they should be strong enough not to burst
during the infusion. In spite of being costlier, tea bags have the
advantage of aiding cost and portion control, besides being easier
to dispose off the used leaves. Tea bags allow the individual to
control the strength of his cup of tea.
3. Catering Packs
Catering packs are similar to tea bags as they are packed in
specific quantities to make a fixed quantity of tea. They normally
are available in ½ gallon, 1, 3 and 5 gallon packs. These are
useful for large-scale production of the beverage
Iced Tea
Iced tea may be prepared with tea leaves or instant tea. A strong
tea is prepared and poured over ice cubes. The strong tea
compensates for diluting effect of the melting ice. Dissolved
polyphenols may precipitate upon cooling and cloud the tea. The
addition of lemon juice or small amount of water restores clarity.

Instant tea could be combined with cold water to produce iced
tea.

Coffee
Coffee is the highest drunk beverage in the world after water.
The coffee plant is native to Sudan and Ethiopia. A fierce red
coloured fruit called as cherry contains the seed or the coffee
beans.The word coffee has originated from the Italian word
“Caffe” which in turn has originated from the Turkish word
“Kahve” which originates from the Arabic word “Qahwah”.

2. Coffee Robusta

1. Coffee Arabica: - It contains beans which are flat, elongated
and oval in shape, mild and aromatic and considered to be
the best in the world. They are grown in India, Ethiopia,
Arabia and Brazil along with Mexico and Costa Rica.
2. Coffee Robusta: - It contains beans which are small,
irregular in shape, and contains 2.5 times more caffeine than
the Arabica beans. They produce a strong and bitter
infusion. They are grown in Zaire and Ivory Coast

Non-alcoholic bar beverages
The drinks covered in this section are „non-alcoholic‟ and
contain no alcohol. These drinks are also often referred to as
„soft drinks‟ with alcoholic drinks sometimes being referred
to as „hard drinks.
Non-alcoholic dispense bar beverages may be classified into
five main groups:
1 aerated waters
2 natural spring/mineral waters
3 squashes
4 juices
5 syrups.
4) Conclusion
We understood briefly about the types and description of
non alcoholic beverages. Beverages are the key to attract
consumers towards the restaurant or hotel. So while serving
We should take care of essential ingredients and freshness
of it. As a enthusiast or a person in this field should know
the significance of beverages.
