Hulu has a Modern Marvels episode on tea. I enjoyed it, maybe you will too.

"The Modern Marvel episode about Tea features a visit to one of the largest tea-bagging factories in the world, the Lipton's plant in Suffolk, VA. Here, an astonishing million teabags an hour - 24 million a day since the operation is 24/7."

Don't be put off by the Lipton-centric description. It covers a lot of ground besides and it well worth 45 minutes. They even talk about Puer-erh.

Brünnhilde, so help me, if you don't get out of the oven and empty the dishwasher, you won't be allowed anywhere near the table when we're flambeéing the Cherries Jubilee.

Thanks for the heads-up. That was an excellent program.

And wondering about this claim: "the production of pu-erh has been a state secret since the 14th century."

Watched while drinking a keemun black tea--Hao Ya A sampler from Harney & Sons. Still don't taste any chocolate, but a lovely tea.
