Alex has posted about faulty tea trays (1 and 2), but what about tea trays that just suffer neglect? Feast your eyes on the (hopefully) most disgusting photos to grace the front page of Tea Nerd:
And one wipe later...
If you have a sensitive stomach, it's far too late. Sorry. Anyway, the take home message: clean your tea trays regularly. Also, this is a great example of science (oxidation) in action. You might think I've been drinking shupu lately, but you would be wrong. For the most part, I have only had sencha and green oolongs. Yeah. Please, clean your trays.
[Oh, also, this is not the really cool thing I was planning. That's still in the works...]

Wow, I didn't know it got worse than this! Thanks for giving me a new goal. :)
Muahaha. That's pretty gross Brent. I left mine for 2 weeks or so and the leaves started growing "hairs," and the tray smelled like old fish.
Here I was, thinking I had made a monumental achievement, only to have my ego shattered to pieces by you two. Thanks for ruining my moment!
Well, I guess I shouldn't complain too much that my tray didn't smell like old fish. Thanks for the comment, Wes. :)
Its okay, your tray is still more disgusting than mine has been, but not by much.
Haha, thanks Alex.
As John Cleese advises when someone apologizes for their house being untidy:
"I do enjoy a little squalor on occasion"
Proinsias:
I can't deny I was more than a bit giddy when I saw the delightful mess. The opportunity to boast of my filthiness was too much to pass up, as well. :)
Thanks for the comment!
