Everyone loves tea. Each country has a different taste and quality of tea. There are those who make and sell delicious tea in the traditional way. But, unlike all this, Japan is preparing to conduct a tea experiment. The Japanese are preparing to bring that tea to the market as soon as possible. Don’t know why tea is ready to be brewed? Wormwood is the main ingredient required to make this tea. A graduate student at Kyoto University is behind the idea.
This tea made from worm excrement is called Chu-hi-cha tea. The taste and smell of the tea varies depending on the food the worm eats and its excretions. After trying 40 different flavors and finding out which one is the best, the decision to bring the tea to the market has been taken. The experiments of graduate student Tsuyoshi Maruoka led to such a tea experiment.
According to Japanese media reports, the tea made from the excrement of worms that eat the leaves of sakura or apple trees is currently found to be the most delicious and aromatic. Based on his experiments, Tsuyoshi says that this tea is more healthy.
Tsuyoshi, a resident of Kyoto’s Sakyo Ward, conducted his experiment by rearing gypsy moth larvae on sakura leaves using large worms. Tsuyoshi poured sparkling water over the dried excrement of the larvae and tried to drink it. He realized that the mixture had a similar taste and smell to black tea. That is what led to the discovery of a new tea called Chu-Hi-Cha tea.
