Adulterated commercial teas... research report
 

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 ;)

Does it mean that the tested leaves come from genetically modified tea
plants? or that, amongst tea leaves, there were other leaves?

Adulterated commercial teas... research report
 

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.
