Weird timer abbreviations

[horsencl]

I bought a new tea timer off of Amazon and it has some weird abbreviations that I've never seen before. The company didn't even know when I called them because they come programmed from China that way. Any help?

• Brozh
  Booln
  Chia
  Gooln
  Jadeo
  Pooch
  Peuht
  Japan
  China

Brozh Bao Zhong ?
Booln brown Oolong (Heavy Oxidized)?
Chia Pet ?
Gooln Green Oolong ?
Jadeo Jade Oolong (Lightly Oxidized) ?
Pooch pouchong ?
Peuht Pu'erh ?
Japan - Japanese Greens ?
China - Chinese (Black) ?

Obviously, lots of BIG geuesses - what does each temperature represent?

Well now - interesting.

Since bao zhong and pouchong are the same thing, the first one is probably something else. Are these listed in order by degrees?

Chia pet sounds right on though.

Doesn't clear up everything but this is what they finally sent me.

Baozhing - BROZH
Black - Black
Black Oolong - Booln
Chia - Chia
China - China
Darjeeling - Dajel
Earl Grey - earl grey
Fruit - fruit
Green - green
Green Oolong - gooln
Japanese - japan
Jasmine - jasmin
Poochung - pooch
Puerh - pueht
Root - root tea
White – white

I'm still waiting for my Chiapet to grow so I can make my own tea at home

Ha that clears up nothing!! Very strange.
But, if you act now, you can get a second ChiaTeaPet - absolutely free!

Chia = chai

Common dyslexic misspelling. The customer service folk wouldn't be expected to catch the mistake. If you Google the search term 'Chia tea' the results page gives hits demonstrating the misspelling several times.

Not sure what 'root tea' refers to....ginger tea??

[Victoria]

Yeah we know it's chai, we're joking.
Or at least I am.
