Last I checked, tea doesn’t occur naturally. Creating it requires a technique (technology).
- jhgb 5y agoInfusion may be a technology, but tea is definitely a drink.
- the-smug-one 5y agoSo I recently watched a video on this. Black tea is fermented green tea, Europeans did not know this before getting that knowledge through a spy. Europeans "stole" everything regarding the production of tea, and poached a few Chinese tea masters along with it.
- sgift 5y ago"Poached"? Did they enslave them? Or did they make them a deal and the masters decided they'd rather work for someone else?
- the-smug-one 5y agoThe latter AFAIK, "poaching talent" is a pretty common term so I thought the meaning would be clear :-).
