Very informative video. I went to a local tea shop and I asked if I could use a french press, and the lady said she wouldn’t recommend it because you can crush the leaves. Thankfully you demonstrated in the video, to not take the plunger low enough where you can squeeze the leaves too much. I already have a French press so I’m glad I’m able to use it instead of purchasing something additional.
yes exactly! The teapot is still the best tool but we encourage people to just start exploring the world of tea with whatever they have and not be intimidated by all the tea ware
You have a wonderful channel! I am very interested in the glasses you use. Is it possible to tell me where you can get those cups? Thank you very much for your hard work!
Thank you so much for watching! You can get these from Bodum but there are many other quality double walled glasses out there. I also use the double walled espresso glasses from DeLonghi

@@Nioteas Thank you very much!
@@paulpunshon9008 you're welcome!
That’s what 5 grams of green tea looks like? Looks like I’ve been putting in way too much. No wonder I can’t sleep.
yes 5 grams is not that much, particularly with these tightly rolled teas
Can I do this method with any tea?
yes definitely! Except for matcha
This is how I actually brew my Genmaicha
yes it works well, thank you for watching!
The French press was invented by an Italian? Learn something new everyday 😅
Yes I think I heard this as well. I think "French Press" is an American name given to the coffee press
