    The light beckons from the end of the tunnel, caterpillars are busting out of their gooey cocoons as moths and butterflies, and we are starting to flutter and barrel roll our way back out into the world. As we emerge and congregate, how cool would it be to identify your fellow Rogues at a glance? Surgical grade masks with a single golden-yellow ear strap are a cheeky, subtle way to do just that! Read more about them at www.scamstuff.com/products/modern-rogue-masks. We’re giving away packs of 50 Modern Rogue masks to THREE winners of this week’s free giveaway. Enter for free at gimme.scamstuff.com for a chance to win (no purchase necessary, giveaway ends 7/22/2021). Congrats to the winners of last week's Rogue's Revenge giveaway: Caleb Shields and Manohar M. (we will contact you via email within the next two weeks.)

      Is that tea pot made of Yixing clay? It looks like it, Yixing is a purplish - brick red clay that only comes from one place in the world, it's used for tea pots like this.

    14:48~ They're so lucky to have the opportunity to drink some 2010 Dragon Bro. Tea master Li Shulin actually lost all of his tea, his tea equipment, and most of his assets in a fire several weeks after this vid was uploaded.
    Thankfully, So Han raised funds via crowd-funding to help him back on his feet, and now he has the tea processing business up and running again.

      So, pretty late to answer, but if you want to learn more, So-Han has a youtube channel, the one he plugs at the end of the video (TeaHouse Ghost) where he basically has a series (that ended only a couple months ago) that talks about this whole process, the tools used, how to use them, he talkes about every type of tea in it's own, long and very in-depth episode as well as giving an overview over the different types. I can't recommend it enough!

    Absolutely loving these tea videos. I’d honestly love to see them do almost a tea cultural tour. Learning the tea practices from the Middle East, to India, to England. It’s so interesting

    7:09~ 8:15~ That means:
    1 _bing_ (餅) = 357 g
    ≈ 12.6 oz.
    ≈ 72 servings
    1 _tong_ (筒) = 7 _bings_ (餅)
    = 2.499 kg
    ≈ 5.5 lbs.
    ≈ 504 servings
    1 _jian_ (件) = 12 (or 40) _tongs_ (筒)
    = 84 (or 280) _bings_ (餅)
    = 29.99 (or 99.96) kg
    ≈ 66.1 (or 220.4) lbs.
    ≈ 6048 (or 20160) servings
    So a horse is/has been worth a little under 30 (or 100) kg (a little over 66 {or 220} lbs.) of tea. I’ve also heard that a _jian_ (件) is 40 _tongs_ (筒) so I also put that calculation in as well.

    I noticed the finger tapping the whole time I was at West China Tea Company last month, but I assumed it was to say that it was to signal something else. I'm glad to now understand the real meaning for it.

      Yupe. The way I enjoying Chinese tea is in free style. No a junk of ceremonies. There are thousands type of Chinese tea in different price range from few bucks to hundreds thousand. In fact, the Chinese tea can be categorised in 6 main type by the fermentation level, from mild to strong. White, Yellow, Green, Oo long, Black and Dark tea. I like Dark tea more than others.

  • @KristoffDoe
    @KristoffDoe 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another thing to add to this whole fermenting, aging, transporting... I was told (by someone who likes tea very much and supposedly knew a fair bit about it) that historically there was a huge difference between tea in Russian Empire and British Empire - because tea coming to Russia was transported by land in more dry conditions, while tea coming to Britain was transported by sea in much more humid conditions (with traces of sea salt).

    I am from Bosnia, and people here drink coffee when you are a guest. And I realized if you don't want any more coffee, you don't drink it all. No one taught me that, but it seems its done in china's tea drinking.
