acetone bombing tea?

[LawnMan]

I was reading that you can clean up tea with egg white remove tannins. Then drop some acetone in it to precipitate out the cellulose. Does this really work in concentrating the resin?

Hmmm I remember people complaining of low yield/not big increase in effects with the acetone thing, so I would test that with maybe a small amount only at first (and better also doing side-by-side and bioassaying product without acetone bombing to see if its really worth it)

Maybe I'll just stick to the tea. Done the extractions 69rons and the standard a\b it seemed like something was missing. Looking for the tea/resin experience this time around. Just not looking forward to the taste. I'll give house's resin tek a try this time around.

I found this method to be a waste of acetone, as I had to keep performing the same exercise on the cellulose precipitate that still tasted strongly of alkaloids.

It does get you some rather potent stuff when you get it right though. If I have a large batch of weak resin I may try it again, but if the resin is already strong I see no point.

Thanks for the input

My friend has found that simply freezing then thawing tea will make the cellulose fall out so you can filter it.
