| Though initially more costly than steel, copper is virtually maintenance free, and with no pollutants in the pure Arctic air to precipitate the familiar green oxidisation, it quickly develops a rich, leathery patina. Both green and black tea are produced from the same Camellia sinensis plant, and differ only in the fact that green variants bypass the oxidisation or fermentation process that gives black tea is dark colour and strong flavour. Prevailing winds are anticipated to accelerate the effects of oxidisation along the more exposed angular leading edges, so the skin will literally change with the wind. |
