Question for the culinary minded

[(Anonymous)]

Or possibly someone who took chemistry.

Why does hawthorn tea always smell vaguely of oily ocean fish? It ain't just one brand, either. Anyone know?

Re: Question for the culinary minded

[(Anonymous)]

The answer is two-fold: there are naturally occurring amino acids in the tea AND the manufacturers are either sloppy in fermenting allowing for the smell to be a lot stronger or they do it on purpose because it’s actually considered a good thing in some cultures (Japanese mainly or maybe even exclusively iirc). It’s more common in green teas but can happen in black teas, too.

I had to look into this for school recently as an offshoot of fume allergy reactions.
