    This video makes a huge but weirdly common mistake. Fermentation is not the same as oxidation. It's not that anywhere else and it's not that in tea. Oxidation has to do with reacting to air (You can also see this in e.g. bruised fruit). Fermentation has to do with microbes. Black tea is not fermented. It is only oxidised. Oolong is also not fermented. Fermented tea does also exist and it forms its own category. Pu erh is an example of fermented tea.

    2:06 I was hoping they'd make a giant cup of tea with that monsterous homemade tea bag 😂

    Narrator: “An experienced tea master directs every phase of the processing.” Me: looks for Uncle Iroh
  • This is the show that made me pursue industrial engineering...... can't believe I'd not found this channel till now! Please continue making and uploading these!!

    Not sure how many thousands of gallons of black iced tea I’ve drank over the past 25 years, but it would probably keep a factory like this busy for weeks just to supply my consumption so far lol

    wonder at what point in history someone said "we're going to dry that, and then soak it in water, then drink the water" because those tea leave plants don't look much different then a plant you'd put in your garden as a privacy hedge.

    I've watched a bunch of these and the video source used are all over 2 decades old. The processes have greatly improved but it's cool to watch 80s training videos too.

    damn that's a lot of steps and processing just for tea
  • @user-hf5gc5yi9p
    I would never have thought that making tea is so interesting

    I love tea, almost all tea(some herbals aren't so yummy). The process is fascinating!
