Fascinating!

Now can anyone tell me how the framing of “higher grade = better” was an intentionally marketed point of propaganda from minute one of this system and is a direct tool of white supremacy?

I know my tea history students know! 🧐

Very Special Old Pekoe, is this anything

Not officially in the Indian auction house grading system, but folks are all the time making up grades across the industry. Old Pekoe in general isn’t a Thing, just Orange Pekoe.

(If this was a brandy grading joke, I did get it, but usually folks are not actually making specialty food & drink industry jokes with me when I think they are. 😂)

Oh, wow...a new favorite account to follow! I'm going to have to go back and watch all of your older videos, because this is great information! But maybe tomorrow, because I should probably be asleep rn. 😅

If only there was some type of warm beverage that might help me fall asleep faster? 🤔😂

Oh gosh, I hope someone invents one soon (or millennia ago in several variations all over the planet)... 😂
