If you have enjoyed the experience of this drink, why not share it with your friends?
There's some kind of concentrated milk in it?
This is so much worse.
This video made me laugh harder than most recent comedy movies lmao
Least visually offensive british invention
Oh damn, is this American?
How can you get anymore instant than a teabag and hot water? What is this cursed hellworld shit what problem is this solving.
When you're bagging your tea, you're drinking settler colonialism.
Also those fancy teabags are plastic and shed particles into boiling water trivially
yeah but there is no way of improving on a paper teabag as a teabag. It's a solved problem
sometimes that leaves little particles of leaves tho
which, like, doesn't matter at all honestly, but i need to justify using up the 1000 or so paper bags i still have SOMEHOW
Do a quick wash of your leaves with hot but not boiling water. Half fill tea cup, pour water out immediately, then proceed as normal.
Or just drink tea like my father in law without a strainer and sip through your teeth.
I've only seen dumb expensive brands use some kind of plastic mesh, everything else is paper
I read some German article about this where they asked various brands about the plastic issue.
Most (but not all) teabags have <1% (I think) plastic in them for stability. The expensive plastic pyramid-shaped ones are actually made from maize and will decompose fully.
The plastic sleeves are also often corn-based, though one organic brand used regular petroleum-based plastic because the corn plastic is more permeable, and they used recycled carton for packaging, which is not food-grade (there's all sorts of shit in recycled paper it seems, including heavy metals).
I only buy loose leaf so idk why I even remember this.
store brand ones here are just in little paper envelopes with a staple, theyre not even sealed
i see now that you meant the bag itself, seems like they're probably microplastics in them and even if that might not be true im probably gonna switch to loose leaf just in case cause FUCK
how could it possibly be 'hotter' you cant heat a fucking pressurised can
well, you could, but depending on how much pressure it's under it might not get all that hot before you get impaled by the can shrapnel
race between my tepid tea concentrate and the explosive limit of my aluminium can
Genuinely curious now, let's see how much i remember of gen chem and how many assumptions I can get away with making...
First, let's assume that the tea acts and behaves like water.
Typically, the contents of an aerosol are stored at 2–8 times normal atmospheric pressure
According to FEA (European Aerosol Federation) standards, maximum pressures for typical aerosol cans are in the range 12–18 atmospheres.
Let's assume the can starts at 8atm and 24ºC (room temperature) and bursts at 18atm. What temperature will the can contents be when it bursts?
The ideal gas law, which states that pV=nRT (pressure * volume = amount of gas * ideal gas constant * temperature), allows us to model changes in pressure, temperature, and volume with the ratio
P1 * V1 / T1 = P2 * V2 / T2.Volume may not remain constant, since water expands by a factor of 1600 when it turns into steam. This process happens at 100ºC at a pressure of 1atm, 170ºC at 8atm, and 205ºC at 18atm, so we can confidently say that if we reach the point where any of the tea is converted into tea vapor, the tea will be sufficiently hot. So for simplicity's sake, let's assume a constant volume of 300mL.
P1 = 8atm V1 = 300mL T1 = 24°C P2 = 18atm V2 = 300mL (8atm * 300mL) / 24ºC = (18atm * 300mL) / T2 T2 * 100 atm mL / ºC = 5400 atm mL T2 = 540ºCSince the temperature of the tea contents far exceeds the boiling point of tea under pressure, we can assume that when the can explodes the tea will be at its boiling point, i.e., hot as shit.
So what your saying is the hotter claim may be true but the tastier claim is dubious because you won't be tasting much of anything at this point.
It is very hard to taste how bad this tea is when your tongue is melted, yes
P1 = 8atm V1 = 300mL T1 = 24°CAt this state the tea is still a liquid, right? So the ideal gas law would be inappropriate.
mmmm fair. The ideal gas law would still apply to the NO2 or CO2 used to pressurize the can though
i encourage any anglo mad enough to buy this product to put this math to the test
I assume because you can add boiling water to the concentrate and skip the cooling that happens as it steeps so you can burn your mouth if that's your fetish
Why the fuck is it pressurized, how does that make any sense, like it's a concentrated liquid just pour it out of a bottle.
So you can stick six of them into my back and activate my rage form, capable of ripping through walls and scaling buildings but constantly enduring physical and psychic damage as well as requiring a long cooldown.
Maybe that's for shelf-live. Can't imagine tea concentrate being anti-microbial on its own. Not sure how much pressure actually helps against microbes though.
I get the dig, but matcha is one of the classiest teas ever made and is definitely a powder.
:is-this: Is this an effective hair product for color protection and all-day hold?
It's just concentrated tea in an aluminum can with nitrogen. Dumb name but not any different than a can of soda.
I mean in terms of effect on the environment. Aluminum is recyclable. Nitrogen is pretty safe for using and commonly used to pressurize canned drinks.
This product doesn't use CFCs. I don't see what the problem with it is. I drink arizona canned tea.
recyclable by whom? this shit is bad for the environment precisely because nobody is recycling it, a lot of bioplastics are recyclable but nobody does it so they end up being just as bad as normal plastics
In 2020, the UK (where this product is located) had an aluminum can recycling rate of 82%. Four out of five drink cans that were produced in the UK ended up being recycled after use.
ok, you got me, sounds good, my fears are assuaged, and it does make me wonder, how come this damn thing gets recycled but other stuff doesn't
Aluminum's properties make it ideal for recycling. It melts easily, it doesn't lose much to waste when you melt it. You don't even need any fancy chemical processes. You can pretty much just heat it up and immediately cast it in to ingots that are ready for use in industrial processes. Glass can kind of do the same thing, but most other materials need more processing to get a useful outcome.
Right, I was mostly thinking of this product as tea concentrate, meaning you only use a wee bit and add hot water to that concentrate for a cup of tea vs grab and go Arizona or coke or what have you
lol I've never seen the foam aerosol nozzle used for food/drinks. only hair products.
Huffing nos to your tea is hands down the most british thing one could possibly do
