I had the privilege to taste tea made with wild tea trees before. It was offered by my grandpa's friend in China. It has a rather complex taste to it. Really worth the try. The experience of drinking it is amazing.

There is a saying that wherever tea was first transported by land it was called Cha or che or it's varieties. By land I mean silk road. It's called Tea and it's varieties wherever it was taken by Sea routes by the Dutch and other European travellers. For example- In India Tea reached by land routes so in most of the Indian languages if not all they are called Cha/Chaya/Chai etc. In neighboring Sri Lanka it's called tē, a variant of Tea because it was brought by Europeans via sea routes.

@SamSolomon47 4 жыл бұрын

So, I think there might be some misinformation in the Kombucha video. Both types of tea developed independently -- the kelp tea from Japan and the fermented vinegar drink from China aren't related. The same names are just coincidence, not a mis-translation. Shame, because overall there's some great info in the video, but framing it as someone getting a translation wrong and smugly teaching about the REAL version is just way off base.

I love how culturally, putting your milk in AFTER is aggressively enforced, but according to science (and provided you are a masterful brewer of your tea, so there's no need to cautiously judge the tea's strength by it's color in the cup), you actually put your milk in FIRST. And you will have to pry that habit from my cold, dead fingers and the teacup they're grasping.

@judylloyd7901 3 жыл бұрын

I heard that the English habit of putting milk in first came from the fine porcelain cups cracking when boiling water was poured into them, so milk was poured first to prevent that happening. Whether that is true or not, there is no scientific consensus for pouring either the milk, or the tea first.
