@@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.
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!
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!
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
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
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 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
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.
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！
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!🙏🙏🙏👍🍵🍵🍵💝
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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
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!
Love this video - obviously brilliantly detailed and informative as always with Don - incredible detail - but also very straightforward, ‘clean’ delivery
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?
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 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!
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
Thanks for your video and all the information. I'm new to drinking tea, about a year, and i just recently starting branching out from Earl Grey and English Breakfast Tea. I will definitely explore all the other teas.
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
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!
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?

Thanks

+David Coxon Thank you for watching and for writing!
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.
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/
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!
Traveling Tea sells batches of yellow tea
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.
@lilly_koii just add roasted rice to green tea and store it like that, this kind of tea is born in this way
This is the single piece of video that demystified everything for me.
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
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.
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 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 ☺

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 : )

Thanx! Your explanation is just perfect for a teabagger like me.
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.
Hands down one of the most educational videos about tea.
Very impressive!
I've learned a lot. 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!🙏🙏🙏👍🍵🍵🍵💝
Dragon pearls are honestly one of my top favorite teas. Soooooooo good
I could sit and listen to Don Mei all day...i may have to make a trip to Camden
I’m so happy I found this channel and your website! Finally somebody who really really knows tea
As a novice tea drinker, this video was tremendously helpful.
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!
I love all varieties concerning teas the audio and learning their benefits give essential using these jasmine I really like to try.
I can't believe how much I just learned about tea. Thanks!
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 🍵

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.
Thank you for taking your time and sharing such important facts about tea.
Extremely informative and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

Very informative! Thanks for posting that.
+Piotr Pietras Thank you for watching and commenting!
So informative! I've always considered myself a tea lover and appreciater but I just learned so much more.
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!
