This is great. Especially love trying to hear what they're screaming over the machines going.

[@Pereozvu4uvak]

Maybe, it is only the one reason why tea leafs don't try to escape from this factory.

[@podcast29ala]

Very informative video. I enjoyed watching, its a relaxing process for some reason to me, even though it is labor intensive. Thanks ! :)

[@chadczternastek]

Thank you for sharing this. I'm a huge tea lover and I'm in awe at how much goes into making a cup of tea. It's so amazing how so many different variables contribute to so many different types of flavors and types. I've yet to try some of the blends such as oolong and green. I've had green and I really don't get the love as it tastes very earthy and green. Black tea is my thing.

[@gouravkarmakar6736]

Very good information

[@harshathammaiah2065]

This video shows spraying of pesticides without any personal protection for the workers. Also the leaf appears to be near harvest time and the chemical sprayed does not get the safe harvest interval. Would be useful to consider these points.

[@curiouskanna]

They says 'zinc and magnesium for the health of the leaves'.. pesticides are different

[@beneu95]

The sprays were not pesticides, but instead they were some elements such as zinc and magnesium for the benefit of the plant.

[@mr.warehouse-pubg153]

Who else is watching while drinking tea

[@zaakirah5343]

I need some help as I am researching on the manufacturing process of tea

[@khairilanwarismayudin8374]

Rotorvane and CTC manufacturing give good liquor and flavour when infused. Personally I prefer orthodox tea.

[@locker3000]

Yo get the best tea you should pick only the top three leaves , possible only by hand.like they do in sri lanka. Tea rolling is better than shredding .

[@BTS-no8zv]

This picking tool is so strange! Vietnam, the North East region is picked by hand

[@victoryenglish5319]

Thái Nguyên

[@inaayatsingh8794]

Even in assam nd West Bengal, tea is plucked by hand...the tool would cause extra leaves to be plucked which reduces the quality of the tea produced...

[@Weeping-Angel]

It’s strange to me that they would shred the tea and ruin it when they have great tea in Assam.

[@KamrulIslam-rk2hu]

Thanks so much for the video! Much appreciated!

[@ittyeapen2271]

This will help to all those who Wish to visit a tea factory in Munnar or elsewhere by wasting their time and money for entry fees of ₹200 or ₹100/ per head.

[@HuaweiY-ne6mn]

How does it's colour appeared black though the leaves were used ? How do black colour nevertheless green?

[@GoodyAfrica]

Very good one! if i can get the names of all the machine used in the processing please, i will be grateful. Am into herbal tea production in Nigeria

Fermentation is what causes caffeine to rise, not withering.

[@infoscav]

Fermentation lowers caffeine. Black tea has less caffeine than green tea.

[@KKatee777]

@@infoscav please don't talk if you don't know what you are talking about

[@infoscav]

@@KKatee777 yeah, like if it is possible to raise caffeine levels above what was in leaves originally. Oxidation can only lower the caffeine content.

[@saravanarajm5330]

The caffeine level at the withered stage was observed to increase by 3% (TV25) to 18% (TV1). No significant change was observed during fermentation for all the cultivars

[@TeaSci]

good!

[@Kyler00000youtube]

Learning

[@rainmsk]

Nice

[@crazyTeaMaker]

Nice presentation but withering is not a process to remove surface moisture. In CTC there is no fermentation happening it's oxidation.

[@rackjice2952]

This is just one type of tea - Black tea. Often considered the most processed and furthest from its natural form. Look up other tea's too! ..White, Yellow, Red, green and more..

[@philippc]

Not to mantion only tea for bags. This stuff is way too fine for loose leaf brewing.

[@technicalrahul238]

[@Blazen747]

Nice 😊

[@littlepuppy101]

Oxidation. Not oxidisation.

[@Naturelover-me4qn]

So there is no cleaning process of leaves involved before processing🙄

[@KarthikKarthik-qc3zf]

Bro..pls on video for tamil

[@nawednawaz2398]

Can I know the price

[@nivamahantanivamahanta1229]

It's Assam

[@LetsLearnEnglish950]

Why don't they wash the leaves? What about the harmful chemicals on the leaves?

[@andrewgoldin6905]

It would probably create a lot of work to get the water off the leaves. If it isn't all dry, then the leaves will mold.

[@Bot-bg2cz]

Gets rid of the flavor i think

[@CARTOONISTS462]

Is tabacco used in tea making ..? Please answer

[@draguta8995]

It shouldn't be. Tea is basically just itself, or mixed in with various herbs for flavoring (like chamomile or rose leaves). I've never heard of a tea that uses tobacco. Why do you think it might be?
