@@SL-sc5vu Rooibis is made from a different plant to usual tea, which is made from Camelia Sinensis: I believe this video is strictly talking about teas from the Camelia Sinensis plant. I think they may have a video on Rooibos, but I'm not sure! Happy drinking!
I love your passion for tea. I just took up tea after realizing I was a coffee addict. Made myself a matcha latte today and impressed the whole family to boot. Love the clean alert feelings I have and looking forward to discovering all the different kinds of tea I have heard about my whole life but never knew about. You have the heart of a true teacher in you!
I‘m Chinese and I think you really know Chinese tea Culture well. Thank you for sharing Chinese tea culture And thank you for you are into Chinese tea.
In many Asian grocery stores, they sell a square gold colored tin of jasmine green tea. it is consistently wonderful and scents the room. The price is fair, too. I used to work in a tea room, but that jasmine green tea brand is still one of my favorites.
hi! no idea if you found some yellow tea or if you’re even still looking, but The Tea Smith in Omaha, NE has a yellow tea! i work there, i’d know ;) it’s called Snow Dragon Yellow Bud!
Thanks for sharing this video - it was very informative. I have never drank alcohol and have found myself jealous of friends who talk about the complex flavours of wines and whisky (my national drink). So I have found the world of fine Chinese tea has opened up a new experience to me. I look forward to trying some from your company.
+Ian Buchanan Great comment and we know what you mean - tea allows that kind of flavour exploration which has before been dominated by the alcoholic drinks. Happy tasting!
+chinalife Tea House hi thanks for the reply! I wondered if you could recommend a tea for me? I am a bit of a Neanderthal, I love cola lol Som im looking for a flavoursome tea
Ian Buchanan we would very much recommend you to stay away from anything artificially scented - they may have a strong smell but they are not good quality tea and lack real flavour. For teas that have more of an 'instant appeal' we would recommend you going for Oolongs. Something like Eastern Beauty (chinalifeweb.com/shop/product/tea-eboc/86/) or Royal Peach Orchid (chinalifeweb.com/shop/product/royal_peach_orchid/86/) are more on the fruity side of things. Superior Iron Goddess (chinalifeweb.com/shop/product/tea-sgoc/86/) and Alishan Cream (chinalifeweb.com/shop/product/tea-acoc/86/) are creamier and more flowery. We have high quality and all natural blends for more of an instantly aromatic brew and these use the same premium tea as we sell loose so you know it is the best tea (chinalifeweb.com/shop/category/signature-blends/).
+chinalife Tea House pleased to say I made my purchase (Royal peach orchid) thank you for your assistance this has been a truly enjoyable learning experience and I look forward to making more purchases shortly!
I used to live in China, Beijing and Yunnan, and now I am in Taiwan and just started to take tea class!! It is very exciting to learn about the variety of tea, that we don't imagine back to Europe. I want to say I love your video! It gives a very good and informative overview of tea! 謝謝！
Thank you for the amazing video. I didn't think I was going to watch such a long video, but when I discovered how calmly and clearly you explained it, I had to watch it all. It was super informative. I knew that teas were basically from the same plant but that the processing was different, but thanks to you I now have a way better understanding of how these processes are different. I had never heard of Yellow tea before. I didn't know how Jasmine tea was made. I bought Jamine tea with flowers in it before and it just didn't taste good. I love the jasmine dragon pearls, just the smell you get from them when you open the bag or box is already so heavenly. But they're definitely not cheap, when I buy them I only drink them occasionally as a treat to myself. Now that I know how labor intensive it is, I'm more okay with spending a bit more money on some good Jasmine tea. After seeing your explanation, I finally get why I never liked Pu'er tea before, I'm not a super fan of earthy tastes. That being said, I don't think I've ever had a higher-grade Pu'er tea, i think I mainly had the supermarket bought teabag Pu'er tea. So if I ever come across a better quality Pu'er tea, I'll give it another try.
A great video! I tried your tea brewing guide yesterday for brewing some high mountain oolong. It made a wonderful difference and changed the whole flavor profile. Thank you!
This is honestly the best. Especially with the website being so easy to use! I immediately got testers of aaaalll the interesting teas and I am extremely exited for them to arrive
This was such a refreshing and informative video. You have created content about tea...one would assume it's boring but no, the topic is deep, and chewable. I'm so glad I found it ☺ Thank you
By watching this I realised that a single cup of tea holds miracles. This was very informative, compact tea leaves wisdom. I am so happy right now my grandmother and my mother taught me to drink and love tea! Thank you for an info-packed tea video!🙏🙏🙏👍🍵🍵🍵💝
This kind of humor is called absurdist humor. That is, if a statement or situation seems absurd, it becomes funny. But the truly funny thing is that only the ignorant would regard such a statement as absurd, So, it is those who laughed who gave the foundation to be laughed at.
Great informative vid. Tea is wonderful! We've been blending our own 'house blend Russian Caravan tea for a few decades now in Australia and now in Nashville Tennessee USA it's winning lots of admirers. Thanks for making this vid.
Bruh, people told me to drink green tea and night because it helps you sleep and now he’s tellling me it has the most caffeine. Guess I’m not sleeping tonight
Thank you so much for explaining the types of tea so well with what you like about them. I found it really helpful!!! Next time I see my American friends drinking from Lepton tea bags and call themselves green tea enthusiast they surely be getting a link of this!!
Don, this video is incredibly informative and clear to understand. It is my go-to video to explain the overall look of Tea to my friends. Since this video is now 3 plus years old, do you believe it needs an update?
Thank you for watching and we are happy that you have a clearer understanding of the types of tea. Watch our other videos to build more knowledge if you want to become a tea connoisseur!
Thank you. Very informative and to the point. I especially appreciate the inclusion of scented tea. Before I became such a tea enthusiast, I thought jasmine flowers in jasmine tea were a good thing 😅. I really like puer and have a collection of it now. Next is to find good yellow tea!
A great video, very well explained & very informative. Pleasure to watch and discover the variety of teas. Super useful info about the scented teas also. Thanks for sharing!
Love this video - obviously brilliantly detailed and informative as always with Don - incredible detail - but also very straightforward, ‘clean’ delivery
You were a bit nervous here on the first cast, I did not know who you are, you grew on beeing the best tea ambassador of the modern social media, keep up the good work and spread the joy of good tea.
Fascinating. Recently switched from morning coffee to morning tea. I'm drinking a variety of black teas (like English Breakfast) but don't know which of these categories they belong to. So.....tea bags or not?
Many things have blown my mind, but never would I have thought tea to be amongst them. Thank you Mr presenter, didnt catch a name, I'm off to find some yellow and white teas, feels like I've been stuck in a closet with my Earl Grey and Rooibos
Very informative especially about adding milk to your tea and what it does. I love drinking milk in my tea but i really think that the best way for me is to drink it plain with a little sugar or honey ir just plain without anything. All depends on your taste bud.
Another really informative and practical guide - like all your other videos are. Definitely the go-to resource for all things tea. Seriously, you really need to get a book deal. I'd certainly buy it. Thanks again.
I live in OC / LA area, the best place to buy good tea is Wing HoP Fung. I got addicted after my friend gave me Ten Ren from Taiwain. I am open for recommendation places to get quality tea....Thank you ( you got to buy the good quality to enjoy and get addicted, same thing w/ alcohol)
Second video I watched from u. You provide such a wealth of information. Instant subscriber, and very interested in ur products! I hope to see some other teas from Africa and other countries
Maybe you could link tea drinkers to some kinda of zen personality type but I found it extremely pleasant to listen to Don's accent, pronunciation and speech
I didn't think I was going to watch the entire video but you made it easy, informative, and this happened to be the exact video i was hunting, thank you!

Im so pumped to go and try every type of tea now!! growing up on lipton instant my eyes have been opened (o.0) to tea
How was your tea journey.?

Iroh would love this if he was real.
Jeremy Eaken I wish I could like this twice
Jeremy Eaken Created a channel so I could like this. Yip yip!
I love you
For sure
Leaves from the vine / falling so slow / like fragile tiny shells...
That was a wonderful lesson. He explained tea really well. I never knew about yellow tea. I would love to find some now.
Cesar Trujillo, thank you for watching! You can find out more about Yellow Tea on our website chinalifeweb.com/shop/category/yellow-tea/

I suggest sitting down with a cup of your favourite to watch this right through :)
i'm just doing that :)
Enjoyed the video with a pot of oolong
Same! Having tieguanyin while watching this ☺
Watched this with a nice cup of Chinese sencha 🍵
This channel should have much more views. Very informative videos! Thanks! :)
TheDyadyddy, thanks for watching. Spread the word! More views will mean we'll make more nice videos : )
That was very educational. I didn't realize that tea had such science behind it. I am not a tea drinker, but this made me appreciate the leaves more.
Its so delightful to listen to someone talk about their passion.
This was such a refreshing and informative video.
You have created content about tea...one would assume it's boring but no, the topic is deep, and chewable. I'm so glad I found it ☺
Thank you
This is the single piece of video that demystified everything for me.

Thanx! Your explanation is just perfect for a teabagger like me.
Dragon pearls are honestly one of my top favorite teas. Soooooooo good
Very informative. Thank you!
redflare100 you're welcome!
As a novice tea drinker, this video was tremendously helpful.
Fresh-tasting, 23-year-old tea.
ahahahah I did laugh out loud.
😂😂
Kind like wine.
To a Resurrection plant, 23 years might seem like a couple days!
This kind of humor is called absurdist humor. That is, if a statement or situation seems absurd, it becomes funny.
But the truly funny thing is that only the ignorant would regard such a statement as absurd,
So, it is those who laughed who gave the foundation to be laughed at.
This shit blew my mind.
I didn't know all tea types were so similar.
addison martin you should try yerba mate
Are you argentinian by any chance?
Yerba Mate is absolutely horrifying flavor and taste
I’m so happy I found this channel and your website! Finally somebody who really really knows tea
Hands down one of the most educational videos about tea.
Very impressive!
I've learned a lot. Thank you
I always thought the white leaves in Jasmine Pearl were jasmine petals. Does this mean they are actually white colored tea buds?
You have an amazing way of explaining, thank you. Super helpful.
I still go back to this just for the fundamentals. I might get my relatives some of it around September or Christmas and of course Chinese New Year.
Most informative tea introduction video I've seen yet. Great job!
Fantastic presentation style and super informative video. Loving all your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
THIS is an excellent vide; plain and simple way to explain the world of tea. Excellent advise! Thank you for sharing!

Never heard of yellow tea. I have all of the others as well as some scented/flavored teas. Just placed an order from my favorite purveyor.
Very informative! Thanks for posting that.
+Piotr Pietras Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love all varieties concerning teas the audio and learning their benefits give essential using these jasmine I really like to try.
Bruh, people told me to drink green tea and night because it helps you sleep and now he’s tellling me it has the most caffeine. Guess I’m not sleeping tonight
if you can find genmai tea it's green tea with roasted rice that is low on caffeine and very soothing.
such a nice video, so much information, I really love it! I could listening for hours 🙂
I don't normally post comments but I found this video very informative!
Excellent video for everyone new on teas!! Bravo!!!
Useful information. Thank you.
Thank you so much for explaining the types of tea so well with what you like about them. I found it really helpful!!! Next time I see my American friends drinking from Lepton tea bags and call themselves green tea enthusiast they surely be getting a link of this!!
I really like these older videos. This is real quality
Excellent presentation very clear - having just come back from Yunnan - felt inspired and drinking my Sheng Pu Erh - bought there. Thanks
So informative! I've always considered myself a tea lover and appreciater but I just learned so much more.
I can't believe how much I just learned about tea. Thanks!
Don, this video is incredibly informative and clear to understand. It is my go-to video to explain the overall look of Tea to my friends. Since this video is now 3 plus years old, do you believe it needs an update?
Yes this definitely needs updating and I will do another video.
Thank you for a wonderful presentation; you've explained well the tea varieties.
Really informative. Enjoyed every minute. Thank you so much.

Finally the blank spaces are fulfilled in my head. Amazing explanation ❤ Huge thank you

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Very knowledgeable. I have saved this and will be watching it several times.
+Wilrausure Great, happy that you found it interesting.

so clear..we will never again give to for granted
Qualified Korean green tea is so good. Wild tea is more recomended than cultivated one. Of course cultevated one is tasty either.Try them someday!
Very educational. Excellent introduction to the world of tea. Thanks
Very informative especially about adding milk to your tea and what it does. I love drinking milk in my tea but i really think that the best way for me is to drink it plain with a little sugar or honey ir just plain without anything. All depends on your taste bud.
