tea portal?

[edit]

we have a coffee portal, and there is a lot of history on tea as well, so would a tea portal be possible? 50.45.151.155 (talk) 16:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic Sentence

[edit]

The sentence "In Pakistan, both black and green teas are popular and are known locally as sabz chai and kahwah, respectively" is problematic. With 'respectively', it must be the black tea that is named sabz chai, yet sabz chai means literally "green tea". Moreover, other sources (including other Wikipedia articles) claim that both kahwah and chai sabz are made with green tea. So this needs to be resolved. Either the positions of sabz chai and kahwah need to be switched, or else, if the beverages actually are both made with green tea, the sentence needs to be changed altogether. I'm not able to edit the page, however, so someone else will have to resolve the issue and correct the sentence. 2600:382:1151:64AD:A1DA:3199:5CEC:EBA3 (talk) 01:51, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for Scottish Tea has been shown to be False

[edit]

The article that is citated as Number 71 for Tea being grown in Scotland, refers to someone who has now been found guilty of fraud for passing off tea grown elsewhere as being grown in Scotland: https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/25207382.man-conned-luxury-retailers-fake-tea-sussex/

However, there is an organisation called Tea Scotland which is an association of actual tea growers in Scotland, so maybe their website could be the citation instead? https://www.tea.scot/ Camundongo (talk) 15:59, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Partly done: I've removed the citation for being unreliable. Kudos for catching that. I haven't deleted the claim of tea being grown in Scotland as the Tea Scotland website does seem to support that, but I don't think the website can actually be cited as a source as it wouldn't meet WP:RS requirements. For now, I've replaced it with a citation needed. SI09 (talk) 07:19, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
