can anyone tell me d pH values of green tea, assam tea and darjeeling tea?? plz help....?

Question

i ws doin an investigatory prjct on 'Study of ph values of different values of tea and the reason for the variation in taste'!! it included findin out d ph value usin diff. tea varities!! bt while doin so, i fnd dat all d varities r givin d same clr on ph paper!! i nd 2 sbmt d prjct by nxt wk n i dnt hv tm 2 do it all ovr agn!! so, cn sm1 tell me d ph values?? plz help..

Answer 1

I'm with the other answerer: assume most of the people capable of answering your question are probably older than you and aren't fluent or don't much like this IM-type language.

The variation in pH between teas is going to be relatively small, probably completely dependent on the brand, and unlikely to correlate significantly with taste in my opinion. I personally believe tea pH values will probably be closer to 5 or potentially even lower since most teas are composed almost exclusively of compounds containing carboxylic acids, which typically have pKas of 3-5.

Honestly, since the pH will likely vary by brand, length of brewing, method of brewing (boiling water, hot but not boiling water, etc.), the numbers won't mean much. If all you have access to is pH paper which is at best only accurate to +/- 1 pH unit then you have not been given the tools to study this problem. I would therefore be honest and say that within the error range of the sampling method, all teas are approximately the same pH, and that therefore the pH is not likely to be the primary determinant of the taste. That is a scientifically accurate statement that represents a higher-order thinking than "here are some numbers I don't know what they mean."

In case you've got no idea what I'm blabbering about, it's like saying "measure the height of people and the reason for the variation in their typing speed." And then you only get a ruler that can measure feet, not even inches. Therefore pretty much everyone will come out either 5 or 6 feet, and on top of that their height probably won't matter at all to their typing speed.

Can you please speak ENGLISH? Not Teenspeak. It's not cool. It's hard to read, hard to understand and a pain in the backside. You're old enough to do pH tests, you're old enough to write like an adult.

OK, as to your question. pH paper is not sensitive enough to detect the differences between types of tea. You need a pH meter since the differences are probably less than a half pH point. I would guess tea has a pH of 5 to 6. Decaffeinated tea will have a lower pH since caffeine is basic.

i did no longer understand Starbucks made a keenness Fruit tea.. i understand they have a keenness Tea and fervour Tea Lemonade.. while i flow, i like to get a keenness Tea Lemonade with Raspberry extremely of classic :)
