Science Weekly · Revisited: A Scottish tea mystery, episode three – a bag for life · 23 Jul 2026 podcast

I had a son, which is 38 now, and he was making his career around the world.

And after the COVID, he said, I come back to Italy if you give me the tea plantation.

I said, OK, you take the tea plantation, you come back.

So misfortunes brought me to a good result because now he's running the business and he's taking my place and doing very well.

Paolo and his son might be successfully growing tea in Italy, partly because of Robinson.

Science Weekly · Revisited: A Scottish tea mystery, episode one – green shoots · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

Paolo Zacchera is a nurseryman from northern Italy.

i am the only person in europe growing between 20 and 30 000 small plants of tea each year so somehow he contacted me he said how successful he was in selling this tea scottish tea in big hotels most expensive hotels in london a good price you could get so he was asking me for

A lot of plants.

And when he saw my plants growing here, he pushed me to say, go ahead, I will sell your tea with no problem and just go on and plant and grow more plants.

He was my guest here, and he came three or four times in Burbania, in my home.

And some friends of us were making a party because a daughter had just graduated from university.

And there was a small group playing, and they said, but all the girls here want to dance, and nobody makes them dance.

So he worked all the evening to make everybody dance.

And it was very successful.

It was a very good relation with people, pushing people well.

He was good until the last time when I brought him to the airport and he gave me a very good bottle of whiskey as a present and told me, when going home, I'm going to pay you.

So I tried to call him, send him email.

First, our secretary said, oh, he's away, he's in China or whatever.

When he comes back, he will be available.

And then I could not get any touch with him.
