Any idea when the video will be aired on the Discovery channel again?
Will they re-broadcast it?

Well, it doesn't necessarily smell like green tea, but it definitely smells like "green", like if you took a regular leaf of a tree and crushed it in your hand. Depends on what part of the factory you go to. You get the typical green tea smell when you walk over to the last drying/rolling stage.
The whole thing is pretty interesting. Sometimes they have more leaves than they are ready to process, so they put those into the "pre-server", which is a big bin that keeps the air and leaves moving around. If the leaves just sat there doing nothing for even an hour, they would already start to heat up and ferment. |
