    This video makes a huge but weirdly common mistake. Fermentation is not the same as oxidation. It's not that anywhere else and it's not that in tea. Oxidation has to do with reacting to air (You can also see this in e.g. bruised fruit). Fermentation has to do with microbes. Black tea is not fermented. It is only oxidised. Oolong is also not fermented. Fermented tea does also exist and it forms its own category. Pu erh is an example of fermented tea.

    • @Eiroth
      @Eiroth Před 3 lety +15

      The first step (putting leaves in hot water) was probably discovered fairly early, as it's something people have done to extract medicinal properties from plants for ages. All the subsequent steps (the drying, oxidation, etc.) Were probably gradually explored as tea grew in popularity as a beverage.

      @Yvolve Před 2 lety +9

      All those myths are an amalgamation of what happened everywhere in history when new foods and ways of preparing it were discovered, to tell the story quickly or have a story. People have an innate need to have an explanation for things.
      It has most likely been the result of a proces of trial and error. First to discover if it is poisonous, then if it's edible. Once we got fire, we could roast things. Once we could make water tight, fire resistant pot and boil water, people realised through the same methods that cooked food is often much better and easier to eat. Water also gets flavour from cooking food, so other things might flavour water. People test everything that is safe to eat, like leaves from this plant. They figured out the top parts were the best and discovered new ways of preparing them to get certain flavours.
      It is always a process with many people involved, not a single event.

      it took thousands of years to mold tea drinking into what we have today. it started basically with hot leaf juice, possible as food, then people realized that the shit's fantastic as a soup but the leaves taste like garbage. then it was time for matcha around i believe tang dynasty. later on storage and fermentation methods were discovered and tea basically became what it is today, aroudn song-yuan dynasties.
