is this any different than lining all cans of soda, beer, soup, vegetables, etc. with BPA? Teflon, Scotchguard, J&J baby powder, asbestos cigarette filters, PFAS coated feminine hygiene products.......
What is this "gypsum blue" you speak of? As a solid state chemist, I have never heard of it. Gypsum itself is neither blue nor poisonous. Have I misunderstood you? Or is this an (unusual) name for another pigment, maybe cobalt blue or copper sulfate?
A very sad story. China Oolong is without doubt the nicest and healthiest tea you could possible want and most people in Britain today have never eve tasted it. The low low quality of British tea is why everyone has switched to coffee (but god knows that could be better too). I now either import direct from China or if I run out I drink dried nettles (for which we can thank the Romans).
I do agree with that the majority of Britain’s drink, low quality tea. Much lower quality than their ancestors did 100 or 150 years ago. I hope that they will break free of crappy teabag Tea and embrace the beauty of looseleaf high-quality Tea.
@@grueneteahaus They would if the shops stocked it. But there is no longer a genuine free market in the UK: the big supermarkets, wholesalers and importers (not to mention the Indian and African plantation owners) tell us what to drink. They let us choose a red packet or a green packet but not what crap goes inside. Check out the biscuit aisle in most supermarkets - 97 varieties of McVities (all of which give me indigestion because they contain identical chemical additives). Beer aisle, coffee aisle... all the same illusory choice. Almost everything inferior, tasteless and often toxic and all supplied by the same corporations.
If properly “killed green” Green tea can ever become black. And when Tea ferments, it doesn’t become black tea. It would become a dark tea like puer. 😀
Subscribe, like the video, and post a comment. Do you ever drink green tea with milk? Aside from matcha
Love your channel. Subbed just now
So crazy! Thanks for showing
Tea history is amazing
Always a great, fascinating history lesson, Albert!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, didn’t know that!
Oh what would the tea world be today without Robert fortune?
EIC would have found another person to steal the plabt
It makes complete sense why the English would want to have their own domestic supply of Tea.
Yes, successfully being grown in Southwest England and Scotland.
Even then the Chinese were making crap poisonous stuff to give to unsuspecting westerners 😂😂😂
So true
Nothing has changed
The Victorians were also adulterating their food and causing many deaths with their products
Chinese gotta Chinese

I’ve never had green with milk aside from matcha. I’m now curious 😅
It helps tamp down the tannins & round it out. Too much & it muddies it.

I can not identify "gypsum blue" either, maybe he means "smurf powder"
maybe he means prussian blue
I love your channel!
I imagine he would have needed quite the disguise to sneak in.
great video
Was this before or after the Opium Wars?

I love all kinds of tea but didn't know of its history that well
This is the real story why westerners switched from green to black tea
I thought that green tea fermented during transport to Europe, and became black.

maybe the chinese tea masters did it on purpose??
lol
Can't blame the Chinese for poisoning tea when the English fed their population opium
Black tea was copied from ivan chai making of kyiv rus
So u r saying the Rus invented black tea?
