Leaf Grinding Tool for Leaf Tea

Well that's it! husband got! will not turn off! Thank you!

I like the expression "poor villagers", they drank their tea and had good health.

Yes, the poor villagers in Southeast Asia ate unprocessed rice and did not get sick, and the rich ate trendy white polished rice and had vitamin B1 deficiency - beriberi disease.

Trade is not about our good health. "Nothing personal is business."

lappl1, very interesting, though the link in the text passed, there is no text ...

[Kokoschka]

Kokoschka, I have a link to the text on the manufacture of the device by the Kulibins (in the middle of the page), and not to the correspondence with the historian. Photo of the device not of Kulibin himself. He has such small photos (if you look) that I could not see anything. And such a large photo was taken by another fan of the Kulibino machine. I put this photo in my post. The link to the post of Kulibin himself works, I just checked it.
And the correspondence with the historian is in the post dated October 9, 2013 at 13-58 here 🔗

Tanyusha, sister ... When I wrote this post, I also wanted to post this video.

lappl1, yesterday I sent a parcel with Ivan tea, it looks so beautiful with color glasses, I hope my relatives will like it!

[Loksa]

Loksa, Oksana, what does double linking give, as I understand it, that's why such even granules, YES ???

Lily, oh yes, with flowers Ivan-tea is cool! Not only beautiful, but also tastier, more aromatic. Relatives will love it.

kil, Irina, you understand correctly. The granules become stronger, the volume of the fermented mass decreases, and more juice is released. An excellent solution for dry and tough leaves.

[lappl1]

lappl1, well, why haven't I seen this before, what a bastard I have over there.

Lyudmila, is there a link to this on the first page? ..
otherwise I, too, along the way, slipped this moment (((now looking for where it is written)))

kil, Vinokurova, girls, no links. Last year, very few girls did this in this way - Kubanochka, Lena Kadieva and Lina. They wrote in the comments in passing. Anyone who constantly follows tea topics will remember this. I didn’t make references because I started doing it myself only this year, and only this week with garden scent. And Natasha Koval already wrote about this in June. I can no longer make links now - I now have no opportunity to edit the topic.

[Irina]

Irina, AlenKa, girls, I twisted early May tea once, it is wet and if you twist the second, then the granules are right in the juice, liquidish. I twist young once, but now, a drier and harder leaf I tried twice, I liked it. It's like a raspberry, it can also be twisted twice, its leaf is dry. The crumbling granules can be tasted twice and see which one is best! This is the first time I've done it myself.

[lappl1]

lappl1, Loksa, thanks dear, boom to try.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, OksanaThanks for the tips ...

I can no longer make links now - I now have no opportunity to edit the topic.

Lyudmila, but it's very good that this question has been raised again ... and this is no longer casual ... I think I should pay more attention to this moment ... at least, I made a nickname for myself - if I didn't like the granules very much, you can try spinning a second time ...

[AlenKa]

AlenKa, twist it, it won't get any worse. It will only get better.

I have already exceeded the plan for the preparation of fireweed. I have already dried 13kg798gr of tea. I would have collected it, but no one wants to take me ...

Already dried 13kg798gr of tea

These are the reserves! I weighed - in a three-liter, under the neck, a can contains 600 grams of ready-made tea. How much tea do you have if you count in cans? And where do you save such a volume?

Hde, hde. 100 plastic containers of 1 liter and 50 containers of 2 liters ... It is all over the house here, here, in all corners .. well, this is a treasure .. And I shove the treasure, shove it ...

[Ludmila]

Well, this is a treasure .. And I shove the treasure, shove it ...

Ludmila, musyanya, Respect and respect!

the tea is dark, dried at a hundred degrees, on tracing paper, tracing paper did not turn yellow (it did not burn at all)
he is like medium fermentation tea in your pictures
and apple tea is separately dark, but this is a separate story, it was as an addition, I wrote what came out in 50-70 grams, small bags, I did not chase fermentation, so for the sake of fun I tried

Well, why haven't I seen this before, what a bastard I have over there.

I have the same, I'm not going to carry them to the exhibition of designers)) I will drink and treat everyone

that's it!

Nooooo, we are not looking for beauty, I wanted to get non-crumbling granules. And it also seems to me that this double twist breaks the leaf better. After the first one, it's actually great to crumble. The granules fall apart, and after the second they pop out like minced meat (y), try it, your opinion is interesting.

[musyanya]

I have already exceeded the plan for the preparation of fireweed. I have already dried 13kg798gr of tea. I would have collected it, but no one wants to take me ...

musyanya, Ludmila,! Well done! Nothing, your pocket does not pull your good. Somehow they will take you there. They will not leave you with your tea to spend the winter in the country (?). And you have tea in the corners in the dark, I hope it's worth it? Listen, give us a photo. To make other tea-makers want to do the same.

I don't want to, I don't need it in such an amount and I will not overfulfill the plan))

The granules fall apart, and after the second they pop out like minced meat, try it, your opinion is interesting.

Here is my today's "mince". Ivan tea (50%) + currants (50%) + currant berries, dried in a dryer until half cooked (1%).
The photo shows which granules are after the first linking and which ones are after the second. the difference is obvious.

[musyanya]

musyanya,

[Wozik]

the tea is dark, dried at a hundred degrees, on tracing paper, the tracing paper has not even turned yellow (it does not burn at all) it is like a tea of ​​medium fermentation according to your pictures

Wozik, Misha, it means that everything worked out for you. Cook some more. A plan is a plan, and in winter there are so many unexpected presents. I had 10 kilograms of Ivan-tea prepared last year. It ended quickly.

[a device for grinding leaves for loose tea]

At night I posted info about a device for grinding leaves for loose tea... And I already have it. The husband did. Of course, it could have been done more broadly, but what to do - you cannot criticize your husband.I will test tomorrow, as the leaves are still drying.

there will be time to do it, now I do not see the point.
everything in moderation
and I will allocate for gifts, a little bit
it would be better to boil beer or grow tobacco)))

Ivan-tea "Fluffy" (from immature seed bolls) (lappl1)

[musyanya]

musyanya, why do you need so much tea? You can get drunk ...
And we have no fireweed this year, all hope is for mom. We had such floods in the spring ... The place where the sweet clover was collected, and there is a photo of thickets, only 2 plants are left. By the way. it also made good tea.

Listen, give us a photo. To make other tea-makers want to do the same.

Musyanya, why do you need so much tea? You can get drunk ...

We just now decided and decided after counting souls that 4 people need at least 7kg 300g of tea per year, + there is also my mother and friends, acquaintances will never refuse an outlandish treat ..

I missed it ... Somehow I never thought how much tea a person drinks a year, the average.
Look, but your supplies are impressive. I respect.

[musyanya]

musyanya, Lyudochka, super! And how smooth and beautiful everything is! Well done! Thank you for showing your wealth. Now other tea makers will have an incentive to look up to you.

Kind people!
Help the invalid who has never seen Ivan-tea outside of the Internet! Please look at the photo - is this it or not? I compared it this way and that with pictures in the internet .. The flower smells good, honey like that, bumblebees-bees fly over it, you can't drive off a shovel. Even 2 snails were found (someone wrote here that sometimes when you dry tea you get a meeting with their dried carcasses). But I am very confused by the size of the sheet, right up to 20 cm comes. Or did I accidentally wander into the atomic test site?
I have 5 more photos, but here you can only insert 1. I will send to those especially interested in soap. Thank you very much in advance!

Hmm ... Something doesn’t work to insert a photo .. (((It's an ambush, however ... Inserted into my gallery .. What is it? .. ((

A! The photo has been uploaded to my gallery. We invite all sympathizers and sufferers to visit and see! More early merci!

Thanks I'll know.

[chipolin]

chipolin, this is not Ivan-tea. (Luda will, of course, say more precisely.

And what is this? Maybe you can add it to tea?

This is definitely not IT, but you can go here What is this plant? and if the plant is not poisonous, then you can conduct a fogging test, that is, shake the leaves and put them in a bag for an hour, then smell. If it smells good, you can also ferment it into tea.
