Hi Leo,
thanks for answering my question! Ive seen a tumble dryer used that has heat forced through it. Wouldnt this rattle the leaves? I could make a tunnel and put the leaves on an open mesh. Putting the leaves in the open sun does heat them up,so i was playing with the idea of drying them with ambient warm air. Sun does evaporate volatile oils,which i was hoping would add to the flavour,but if they roast leaves to make sencha,then there goes the oils. Thinking out loud here. Thanks again.Hi Leo,
I was wondering if anyone got the joke, Its sad if you laugh at your own.LOLI hope you will get a chance to reply to my question about drying tea leaves. Thanks !Id like to know how they shred the duck,dry it and make it look like tea? Why dont they just call it duck jerky ?
Hi Betty,
I cant believe my luck also! So Im really hanging out to get started. You can put them in pots. Get a big one and it should last. My friend also sells 10″ pots for $25. And he says that big and you cant kill em. And its from Japan as well ! I wonder what they are like fresh picked and you just chew them? I’ll let you know what happens,but i have ti find out about how to do it first. Ive it good just Sun dried.Hokusai ,Co2 is an inert gas used even on grain crops to preserve and even kill insects. Being inert it will not damage tea.
Not interested. We have enough “plastic” in our diet..but to put hot water on plastic and then drink it is crazy. Plastics in the body mimic estrogen..and people wonder why we have so many estrogen dominant cancers? papers have chlorides which interfere with thyroid. And this must have clue to hold this thing together. Its a wonder you taste the Tea..LOL !
I use Co2 for preserving all my dried herbs and anything i dont want oxidation. Its an inert gas that heavier than air. I used to home brew my own beer,and thats where i got the bottle of gas. You can get it cheap enough on ebay. Depending where you are,its failry cheap. $100 per year. you hardly use any gas for Tea or herbs. On the bottle,there is “tap” that you use to attach a thin plastic pipe. I use one thats 300mm long. I then put the tube all the way to the bottom of whatever bag or glass bottle you use. Turn on the “tap” just so you hear a slight hiss. I usually wait 1 minute,then turn it of. If you have to fast a rate of gas,you cause lots of turbulence. Go slow and it works best. Ive noticed a big differance to freshness and when i dry 2 kilos of green tea leaves,Im going to use this idea.
You have a big container or plastic bag to store the main batch,then you use a smaller container for everyday use. that way you only open your main container only to fill the smaller one. Even then,i put some Co2 to top-up the main container when i re-fill the smaller one. Co2 also pushes out moisture,so thats a bonus.Stay fresh,but dont get fresh with me. 🙂
