Actually I've heard of people using coffee as a developer. Even better,
green tea gets its color from six compounds gallocatechin , epicatechin ,
epigallocatechin , epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate. It sure
sounds like one or more of those ought make a mean developer! Just imaging
combining that with Vitamin C. I have a great new idea for a one hour photo
lab/tea house, any takers :-))
