Most of the articles I see are focusing on enhancing the weight loss aspect or cholesterol reducing aspect, and subsequently many of the university sponsored research studies are indeed on these topics. But taste is also an area of study. All this is quite normal in food science. But it is up to the consumer to dictate the market with our choices.Cwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990034926886208526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-21003759576527909672015-03-04T07:13:48.447-06:002015-03-04T07:13:48.447-06:00Hello Cwyn,

This is history in the making. The first homemade, hand crafted, artisanal ripe puerh tea!<br /><br />"I also know from puercn articles that the government is asking directly what can be done to sell the large tonnage of leftover tea leaves, the ones that aren't gushu, and aren't particularly high end quality. One case in point is the still-leftover tonnage from 2008, one of the years most collectors try to avoid because of the over-harvested and weak leaf and because of a peak in pesticide and chemical fertilizer use at that time. An easy answer to dealing with leftover tonnage is to produce tea enhanced beyond its original flavor via processes like the addition of tea leaf extract. Another answer is to sell it to other companies who might manipulate the tea in more obvious ways, such as Teavana who might add flavorings, sugars etc and other herbs to create obvious blends."<br /><br />+1<br />This makes me think about all that processed food out there.<br /><br />Best, VPVarat Phonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243474319433978270noreply@blogger.com
