Once upon a time the excuse in life was about "acts of God" and "the devil made me do it", but in this Age of Obama the mahdi, it is now all about men being gods and the great evil making every plant, animal and human fetus lusting to be aborted as a homosexual..........is called global warming or the misnomer of "climate change" as when Al Gore's pendulum swings in his slacks it can either be fire or ice, so a liberal is always right about the weather.I see now that tea is the latest victim of global warming, as Indian breakfast tea of the Assam type can not just brew a clear strong cup of tea, due to climate change.
Yes India is heating up by degrees and that wet ole monsoon is making all those Indians hot and the tea plants sultry.
In noting the above data, when one grows herbs, one desires hot dry weather, as that is what gives a herb it's intense quality. So if an Indian tea plant has hotter conditions, the tea should be more robust, and not weaker.
Never mid that fact, as it is that humidity which in the heat which is to be blamed also. The problem with that is, hotter temperatures would produce drier monsoons than wetter monsoons.
Let us not get caught up in the data as this is about tea.
I have never liked the English Breakfast teas as they have too much tanin, too much bitterness, and like bourbon liquor, few can drink it without it having to be diluted in something sweet.
One lump or two? Yes that does sound familiar as in cream for these strong teas that few care for and try to like wild game, make it all taste like chicken. It is the same disgrace that idiots who did not like acidic tomatoes turned modern tomatoes into things that are bland and one has to add acid to can them or they will not store properly.
I like acidic tomatoes and grow such, but I for various reasons now do not drink the strong breakfast teas. Frankly I do not know if Lipton's black and orange teas have chemicals sprayed on them for retardation of fungus, but I have problems drinking them.
I have noted previously in Earl Grey of the gunpowder teas is a step down from the Liptons in what is English teas. It is lost in sugars and creams, and is quite weak to begin with. Frankly, if you want teas that are bitter, you should either be drinking coffee or bourbon for breakfast as if Assam teas are weakening, they are probably starting to become something drinkable.
My favorite tea is the Darjeeling which is Indian mountain tea, not of the first bud picking. It is lovely on it's own and will swim about with cream and sugars suggestively enough not to lose the tea.
Perhaps the best breakfast tea on it's own is Ceylon. This is a really mild tea without all the tanin and other wincing things go on, in this chili pepper crowd who think the worse a tea makes you cringe, the better it is.
I tread often on Oolong, but that is as close as I ever venture into anything of the green teas like Jasmine. I dislike green teas immensely as they have no flavor and if I care to drink something which tastes like mouldy grass, I would sniff a cow burping old silage.
The problem when it is wheat, oats or tea is the rapidity of the plant growth in humid conditions. If one grows in cool wetness you get smut and if one grows in warm wetness you get rust. Tea plants are simply taking in too much water, not transpiring enough through the leaves, so the properties of tea are being diluted.
I would mention that Canada which has very cool and damp weather grows heavy crops of grains of great value in the cereal grains. In noting that, there is a window of evaporation in this which sometimes produces succulent crops and a few degrees difference produces blah.
For example on the opposite, you simply can not grow a flavorful tomatoe or melon without high temperatures and constant humidity, with the soil being wet enough for fruit set and development, but no rains during the final stages for acidity and sugars.
All of this gets jumbled in tea, as is misbehaving not from global warming, but from humidity or too much water in the leaf.
One would have to examine the data on wheat crops, in India as they are maturing earlier, because India has been switching to hybrid wheat which is not native, as the Rothschilds have been buying up lands there from the poor.
The agribusiness group tried to replace Greek wheat with hybrids, and the hybrids all failed compared to the local traditional wheats.
So it is data that a reporter educated in Obamaville would not know to ask, as wheat is wheat to Capt. Kirk and not quatro triticale.
Meanwhile back at the tea plantation, instead of blaming weak tea on global warming, where we do not know what oven their thermometers are sitting beside, it is obvious that the humidity pattern has changed and the Indian and English moguls and raj exploiting the poor, should be out weeding through their tea plants to see which cultivars are producing in this niche the still same wretched English Breakfast, and then use cuttings of the best to produce a better tea as you can not do anything about the weather.
It might be that "tea" is going to become like politics in everything is local. I have bags of native catnip and goldenrod in Canadian and American varieties for my "tea" if necessary which I have collected.
I once like the World War II generation gathered up dandelion roots, roasted them, and made my own coffee, and it really did appear as coffee. Few people know that burnt grains as in Postum will substitute as coffee as that is what America did when supply was cut.
Honestly, it is past time that the USDA which is now a rather worthless group has not gone out and produced a hardy group of teas to grow in the northern reaches of America. It is because like citrus cartels making billions, that the government keeps the lobbyists happy by not creating new plants which would grow in barren areas, making the plantation owners poor.
Wouldn't it be wonderful instead of poisonous algea in Monsanto frankenfoods, that the USDA had put the apple gene into oranges so those crops could be grown in Michigan, shortening the season and making a hardy citrus fruit?
Then again it would blow the Florida cartels.
The same is the issue with the tea barons who got the plantations and now the weather has changed in humidity, and they blame global warming, all the while tea prices have went up due to "lack of supply".
Odd how tea bags on Muslim men never seem to not produce millions of more Muslims a year........
Or are we speaking of a different Andersen Cooper form of the use of tea?
Fundamentally the past two springs in my gardens, the freeze drying of my crops had them looking horrid, until the glove warmed up and humidity returned. Now in that fact, how can it be global warming in India and global cooling in America?
Yes, yes we all know it was the devil made the potato do it, just like it is global warming blamed on everything hot or cold, but those are data facts which do not match as it can not be global warming when America is cooling.
I have noted it is solar radiant energy which is the problem as the sun is in flux on different bandwidth radiation which affects moisture and is not heating up the planet. It is a microwave energy in liquids heat up for more moisture in fronts, but the cup of the land is not affected by the microwave pulse.
That explanation brings in this menagerie us back to tea, and why I drink it affectionately. It is because tea allows one to escape the idiotry of the world who have no common sense. Tea raj's should not be part of a welfare state of slave labor while they live like Obama in the White House as Americans on welfare are enslaved.
Price of tea goes up when supply is limited. The Indians are making just as much out of a little tea allot. That of course is if someone has not been mixing in twigs all these years, using the strong tea like cutting whiskey, and the profits are being cut by the cartels gouging English tea drinkers for years.
Allot of questions to ask, and I would bet that if someone started poking about in this that all of a sudden whatever is going on here in the pricing would make this an issue of global warming not mattering, as they are lying about as a 3 degree rise in temperature isn't going to hurt tea production any more than it is going to create a hurricane when the temperature rises from 20 below to 17 below zero.
This is Tavistock Institute reasoning. English twits think on tea. Bother the tea. Tell the twit that it is global warming and through Pavlov dog association the human thinks global warming with every sip of tea.
It couldn't be a tea insect in connection hurting production along with more rains..........nope it has to be the devil as global warming is why Obama is such a disaster in the White House too. It is all global warming.
I read it in the tea leaves.
Hmmm when outed by this blog, the Washington Post took down the above link which does not even appear on Google.........must be just another coincidence like my computer going goofy when I post things the Obamastablishment does not appreciate.
So I give you Yahooters.
And as that link will be taken down, I give you more tea lamentation links to make Conan the Schwarzenegger's mouse finger all muscular for the links you can click here.
