Can Britain be a nation of tea growers? Scientists say yes – and it could even be good for your health

Y Wasg / Cyfryngau: Cyfraniad i'r Cyfryngau

Disgrifiad

Britain may be known as a “nation of tea drinkers”, but might there be opportunities for it to increasingly be a nation of tea growers? Our research has involved working with growers in Devon and Wales to explore the chemistry of UK-grown tea. We’re using a technique called “metabolomics” to understand what’s going on inside the leaves, and how different growing conditions, processing methods and even fermentation (like making kombucha) affect the final cup.
