For my personal experience, Ceylon tea is the best black tea. Greetings from Germany
Greetings to you in Germany! Thanks so much for commenting & hope you enjoyed the video 👍😊
From Assam, my state produces 55% of India's total tea and 18% of global tea production. Here tea was discovered in 1823 by Robert Bruce. Apart from China, Assam was the first place to discover an indeginous species of tea Camellia sinensis var assamica. Also Assam tea is best for milk tea.
Wonderful to hear from someone based in the exact location of one of the teas featured! Assam is certainly a massive tea producing region & super popular globally. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day! 👍😊
Mangalam assam is my favourite all time tea, I love the rich maltyness. Second flush mangalam S.F.T.G.F.O.P. Is my all time favourite and have 3 caddy’s of it from different companies and they’re all amazing teas. I also have a few other single taste assams and some are so unique, I have one that has very strong stone fruit flavour to it which is really nice and the caffeine content makes it perfect for waking up. Love that assam, second is golden Yunnan and lumbini Ceylon (low grown) tea which have some beautiful sweet caramel notes to them. It’s amazing how different teas can be so different from flush to flush and garden to garden, even gardens right next door may have superior tea than their neighbours depending on how they grow and if they use good quality clones like a lot of the best assams and darjeelings, I’m currently drinking a brand new 2024 first flush Darjeeling for breakfast and these are the only teas I love without a tiny splash of milk.
Thats sounds like some serious tea dedication! Thanks so much for sharing your favourites & hope you enjoyed the video. Have a great week 👍😊
@@JamieSmithlovesJesus hey can you suggest some best tea in Assam?which one should buy for my home ? Suggest 3/4 name suggest best quality acording to you
I found this video fascinating! Thank you
Thank YOU! Super glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for sharing! 👍😁
High quality video.
Thank you so much for saying so. Have a wonderful day 👍😊
I really like this video. Made me really curious about black teas around the world. Really would like to see another video on what pairs well with the teas that were featured in this video like spices, biscuits or cakes etc.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.
Great idea! I have started mentioning occasional pairings in some of our videos, so I’m pleased to hear this sort of thing goes down well and I’ll definitely bear in mind your suggestion for the future.
Thanks again and have a wonderful day! 👍😊
Ceylon always best an number one tea world . proud it ❤️❤️😌
It’s certainly lovely tea. Thanks for sharing. 👍😊
@@thetastetestchanneldoes it taste comparable to the tea from kenya.?
Not really, Kenyan is closer in taste to Assam. See my other reply for more info! 👍😊
@@thetastetestchannel and how’s Assam black tea in terms of quality and taste.? How would you rate it
A very popular tea, often used in many blends to add strength and full flavour. For my thoughts on the specific flavours and characteristics of a quality Assam, I think I say it best in the video. 😊 Hope that helps. 👍😊
I love your beautiful china. One of my favorite things about tea is seeing different people's serving styles and tea-ware.
I’m so glad you noticed, I love it too! 😁
I agree entirely; beautiful china can make tea feel like a special occasion. In case you’re interested it’s Wedgewood Cornucopia. The matching coffee set features in our coffee video! 😆 (Link below)
Thanks so much for commenting and have yourself a wonderful weekend 👍😊

Great video as usual, I love black tea
Thank you so much for saying so. I love black tea too! so this was really fun to make. I’m super glad you enjoyed it! 👍😊
Very informative. Thank you very much. I am in the process of creating a superior Kenyan tea brand.
You are very welcome! Thank you so much for your kind comment, I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and the very best of luck on your creation! 👍😁
Benifuuki is a hybrid of Japanese and Indian tea, which is then grown in Japan. I'm a big fan and it was my first experience with a black tea that could knock my socks off with flavor.
I really enjoyed it too. Very pleased to have tried it and definitely one I will continue to enjoy regularly. Thanks so much for sharing 👍😊
What an informative video! You’ve inspired me to look into the history of tea in India, which was interesting to say the least!
How lovely to hear you found the video so inspiring, …you’ve just made my day! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such kind feedback & I hope you’ll enjoy more of our videos in the future. Have a fantastic day! 👍😊
Great video! Subscribed.
Thank you so much for saying so! Great to have you on board and a very warm welcome to the channel! 👍😊
You keep this up and I'm going to have to search for a hidden camera watching me. Everyone of your videos is on a subject I'm can be very obsessed with.
I am actually drinking, I swear not a joke, black tea as I watch this video. It's a cheap store brand English breakfast tea that I drink several cups of daily but I do have expensive teas in a kitchen drawer. I have Lapsang Souchong , one of my favorites, oolong, several flavored loose black, blooming flower tea, Darjeeling for sure, green, chia, and about 10 herbal/fruit "teas".
I also have a black tea you didn't cover, Pu-erh a fermented and pressed tea which can be overpowering in flavors.
FYI, for those that find green tea too astringent, try some Genmai cha. This is a green tea blended with toasted rice, some which pop like pop-corn. The toasted rice mellows out the green tea giving an earthy taste. Toasted rice also make this tea cheaper; its original purpose.
I put sugar in my tea because I find it covers some of the "nasty" flavors and because I'm an American and we put sugar in everything regardless of it belonging there.
Now, I'll have to look for some Wakoucha Tea since I've never heard of it and I'm Japanese-American so I have to have some to taste. It's a strange name as it translates to "Japanese Pirate Tea" Tea. Yup, I'm a full grown man that just said Tea Tea.
I’m so pleased that you’re finding our videos are hitting the right spot!
(No hidden cameras, honest! 😆)
I love the fact that you’re there supping black tea, or munching on nut chocolate as the corresponding taste test is playing, (no doubt sprinkling extra sugar on it as you go) 🤣
You certainly sound like you are a tea fan, …that’s a super impressive choice of teas to have in your drawer at one time!
I’m amazed, however, to have been the first to introduce you to Wakoucha, however rare it may be. I do hope you try some; Benifuuki seems to be a great version. Personally I will be seeking out some Genmai Cha based on your comments.
Thanks as always for your kind feedback and fascinating insights. TTFN 🤣
JJ 👍😊
Would love if you did an English Breakfast tea taste test!
Great suggestion, thank you. I will definitely keep it in mind. 👍😊
I drink Assam or keemun for breakfast . Darjeeling as afternoon tea is best favourite , Ceylon anytime love the light colour and the sweet after taste . The Japanese black tea is new to me never tried before. I don't like smokey tea like lapsang souchong but with smoked salmon sandwich it is great.
Love the smoked salmon sandwich idea! Sounds like you are a dedicated tea enthusiast! Thanks so much for sharing and have a wonderful day 👍😊
Your voice and speaking style are so pleasant to listen to!
Well thank you kindly for such a lovely comment, Youve just made my day! Have a great one yourself! 👍😊
As a Sri Lankan, I've never seen that brand. And 7 pounds for 100g of tea is mind blowing. Here at most, that would be 2.55 pounds.
Definitely more expensive here in the UK, but there are cheaper options available. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day. 👍😊
In GCC ceylon tea is the best choice and Assam tea as well
I love me a Yorkshire Tea lad
Aye, and there’s nowt wrong with that. 👍🤣
Ahhh man lapsang is something else, so nice
I know what you mean! I certainly discovered a new appreciation for it in this test. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day! 👍😊
I live on Black Tea
👍😊
I’ve always thought that the purpose of adding milk or sugar was to disguise how unpleasant the drink would be otherwise 🤔
😆 😆 No doubt true for some people! . I think for many tea fans it’s more about rounding out certain bitter notes and accentuating or sweetening others. Great to hear your thoughts however, thanks for sharing! 👍😊
The color depends on the flush in darjeeling tea
Yes indeed, and it has a big impact on the taste too. Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoyed the video 👍😁
I drink tea, 🫖 Assam & Darjeeling ☕️ 15 years I recommend my wife likes more Darjeeling ☕️ I like more Assam
Great choices. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you enjoyed the video 👍😊
Great video, thanks
You are so welcome and thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s super appreciated. Have a wonderful evening 👍😊
@@thetastetestchannel Question; Can I only purchase the Wakoucha Black Tea from Japan? I searched but I only found it in Japan.
Hi, I purchased it from imperialteas.co.uk. (Based in the UK.) You can also buy it in other countries so it’s not restricted to Japan, but it can be hard to find and takes a bit of searching.
Link to the UK store is below. Hope that helps. 👍😊

@@thetastetestchannel Thank you, I appreciate your response. I will check out the one in the UK. I’m in the US. Thanks again..
You are very welcome! Hope you get to try some… and hope you enjoy it! 👍😊
Well I'm an Assam man that didn't make the grade nor my Darjeeeling second choice go to but there you go 🤣
I've so got to try the red tea Wakoucha to see what I'm missing.
Wonderfully informative and well presented vlog as always...thank you 👍
Super glad you enjoyed the video GeeBee! Nothing wrong with Assam at all of course, great choice. I don’t think we need to worry too much that our top 3’s will differ sometimes 😂😆🤣 But yes, definitely worth seeking out some of that Wakoucha!
Thank you so much as always for your kind comments and enthusiasm. It’s super appreciated! Have a wonderful day! 👍😁
Can you help me in naming any international brand contains Darjeeling tea or assam tea.? Here in Pakistan 95% black tea is imported from kenya so we have no idea about indian or sri lankan black tea.
A big hello and welcome to you in Pakistan!, and thank you so much for watching, and for your question. Very generally speaking, Kenyan tea tends to be bold, strong and a little malty, which is, on the whole, more similar to Assam, and less like Ceylon or Darjeeling. While Kenyan tea is used in many tea blends worldwide, (as is Assam,) Darjeeling tends to be more commonly sold as a single origin tea. To really get a feel for the differing tastes, I would seek out specific named single origin teas. Global brands such as Lipton for example do produce specific packs of “Royal Assam” or “Darjeeling” tea. I can’t be sure of availability in Pakistan but I do hope this is useful!
Thanks again and have a wonderful day! 👍😊
Cleanest tea in the world = ceylon black tea
Black tea is thai tea, should ask what the thais use.
