Hi--
Some news-- Says that 3 high school students checked a bunch of tea samples, and found unlisted (non-tea) plant materials. I haven't followed the citation, but the title of the citation is "COMMERCIAL Teas..." and I'm sure that is *not* what *I* am drinking ;)
jhh
Hi,
Does it mean that the tested leaves come from genetically modified tea plants? or that, amongst tea leaves, there were other leaves?
Fortune on his 1848 trip through China discovered the Chinese were adding plaster(hydrogen sulfide gypsum) and Prussian blue(cyanide paint pigment) to make green tea more green and acted like a preservative. This was made public in 1851 which gave added impetus for the East India company to develop India as a tea source.
