Thanks so much for having me with you this time, John! Great job on the video! I hope people love seeing this and then have a laugh at my behind the scenes video. Let's do it again soon! 😍🚴🍵
These days though, green tea is cropping up more in teabag form and, at least in London, you can find many of these drinks in Asian supermarkets. Love them as they are often not sweet which makes them feel so much more refreshing!
The beautiful Mount Fuji area... the absolute perfect place to produce green tea. Now that is top-quality green tea! And that shot of Fuji in the background with the Shinkansen is quite the Japanese shot. Traveling by bike is the best way to explore places, it's how you really dive into the area and see what it has to offer.
I’ve been drinking green tea since I was a teenager, I’m now in my mid forties. I never put sweeteners in my tea, I feel that disrespects the tea. Plus it tastes funny. Lol I can’t imagine my life without it! The health benefits are so amazing!
I drink both tea 🍵 and coffee ☕ as I enjoy the flavor aspects of both. Beautifully shot and informative John. Good to see Dean join you. Kudos to you for that epic bungee jump! 👍
I was having too much coffee for a teenager! Like way too much! at the age of 17 i made the switch. I no longer drink caffeinated coffee, only decaf. It makes me sick, I can't handle the caffeine that is found in it. Now if I need caffeine, I go for tea and I have never looked back. I feel like tea is much better and I don't have this wild crash in the afternoon that leaves me feeling exhausted.
Yes, John. I already switched to pure green tea from coffee years ago for no reason. I just recently found out the enormous amount of benefits it gives to our body, and I am really happy 😃 One thing I noticed, my skin has always been glowing- I am close to my 30's and no wrinkles at all. P.S. I am brewing green tea between 90-100°C for 5-10 mins. 1 -2 cups per day after my last meal.
By the way, I love that you added the bungee jump. That's was a beautiful gorge underneath the bridge. An irresistible view of the colorful landscape of Japan.
This was a fascinating look into the the world of Japanese Green Tea. I had no idea of the variety of teas and the difference that temperature makes in the taste.
🍵 I hated my first bottled green tea when I arrived in Shinjuku . It was so bitter and unpleasant. Now it's the only type of tea I thoroughly enjoy. The soothing quality of it is irreplaceable. Thanks, John. This has got 'love letter to green tea' written all over the episode. 🍵
When you get past that first few, a new taste your body doesn’t register, it becomes refreshing! I was the same - with beer and coffee too 😂 and broccoli 🥦
Thats weird to me too. The #1 bottled green tea brand in Japan is also sold worldwide and it honestly tastes bitter and bland, also its pee colored. The high quality loose leaf I buy direct from Japanese farmers brews into an almost neon green, and is naturally sweet. Personally I prefer the fresh loose leaf, and still find it weird Japan loves the bottled stuff when they having amazing tea a few miles away.
The more bitter the stronger it is, I hated bitter tea or just tea in general but now I can’t drink those cheap tea bag kind of tea, it’s too bland for me I need it to be very strong
@@__aceofspades they like bottled stuff the same reason why microwaveable food is popular world wide in developed countries - no time, disposable income. I do hope younger Japanese learn about ocha because for many of my friends, they didn’t know how water temperature controls sweetness-bitterness and the variety preparation. Interesting! Also, coffee is just better marketed. We don’t see ocha houses like coffee houses. It’s not cool.
Ooh! Jasmine Tea is so good too! I backpacked China in 2000-2001 and would sip tea on long train rides for days. Now everything is so fast. Jasmine tea to me = slow down and relax 😌
I have switched to green tea many years a go. Every day I am having a bowl of matcha + cup or two of sencha / gyokuro. Japanese green tea is the best. Great video.
That's so much to learn about tea, it's sophisticated yet elegant. I drink both tea and coffee in a daily basis. Most of the time, I will start the day with a cup of coffee and sipping tea through out the day. I especially like a cup of Matcha right after meal, that's THE best way to finish a meal in my opinion. I didn't expected the ending of the video, but I ENJOYED it very much. Thanks John and Dean!
I remember my 1st trip to Japan, buying a bottle of green tea from the local DonQi. I took one mouthful and was pretty sure I had picked up cooking oil instead of green tea. Never again! However, I now find myself looking on Amazon for some sencha, a proper tea pot, and youtube instructions of how to make it properly. Looking forward to my first real experience, coming from a lifelong coffee addict, it should be fun!. Thanks john & Dean, great to see you collab again.
When I'm in Japan, I tend to drink more tea than coffee. This was an awesome video, John. I didn't know the difference between sencha and hojicha, but now I do.
i remember 1st time drinking a vendo greentea in Japan, i was expecting a sweet taste, but it turned out better for me. i instanly liked it. i drink it everyday using hot water. i even buy the dried greentea packs whenever i go to Japan to take it home for me and my family.
Absolutely loved this video John. Thanks so much. I learnt quite alot and appreciate more about Tea and enjoyed the Bungee Jump at the end. Keep up the quality content.
What stunning footage, you’re lucky you got so many shots of Fuji on a clear day! I’m happy how this turned out, I would love to try more authentic teas like this. I usually drink herbal tea to help combat my anxiety and help me sleep, so it’s interesting to see how the heat can affect the properties. Never was a fan of coffee or black tea though. They’re too strong for me and caffeine can give me headaches. It’s just amazing the amount of detail goes into producing green teas in Japan.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and it’s very informative. You really make beautiful videos. I always wondered why some use tiny bowls to drink the tea. Makes sense. I can’t wait to see the upcoming ones. Love the bungee jump!
This was a really informative video. I really want to try some different types of green tea now. The cinematography was great in this video. So many cool shots from different angles.
The tea farm is absolutely stunning and beautiful‼️🌿♥️ Loving 🥰 this video and thank you John for the opportunity to learn about the tea of Japan. Jump is a surprise at the end👏👏👏👏👏😄
Green tea has always been my secondary to coffee, as in I drink my morning coffee then green tea all day long. Helps me get through my day and in the winter months I squeeze a lemon slice and a few slivers of ginger as an immune boost to help fight off anything coming my way. This is a great video on the different benefits to green tea.
Omg! That ending part 🤣😂.. I was not expecting that!!! Thanks for the new video John, I always like to learn new things around Japan. I love coffee and tea, with my tea I’m trying to get use to it drinking them without sugar. For coffee it has to be a latte, the milk and sugar helps my stomach and my brain to keep going during the night. I work at a hospital, so drinking coffee is a must! Specially these days when the work load is really heavy. Sometimes I do change drinking coffee to green tea.
Green Tea is awesome! Now it's AWESOMER after watching this! I've been drinking Green Tea since I was a kid and never knew about the different water temperatures bringing out a different taste. Must experiment with the water now. 😄 Thank you John for another beautiful, inspiring, informative and amazing episode. Looking forward to learning more about Green Tea. Keep up the awesomeness 😁🤙
Yep simple, though very powerful and complicated in it's on way. It's kind of crazy how many overlook it or under appreciate it. I have certain seasons and time I would drink it on a daily basis. Then stop so my body doesn't get use to it all the time. It's a great tool in ones own health and well being. I also love coffee, but I keep it balanced
My favorite episode since the start of this channel. I was always a black tea and green tea drinker until the pandemic started. I became addicted to coffee. Now I'm starting to drink less. This episode is definitely enticing me to drink more green tea. Thank you John 🙏🙏🙏 .
this was great, I've been drinking green tea for quite awhile and always knew I was making it incorrectly, this was a very enlightening video....thank you!
Well this episode had a bit of everything, informative, great scenery, and daredevil stunts! The part about the different water temperatures was the best part (other than the bungee jump) as I can now experiment and adjust to suit my taste. I only started drinking green tea when I began eating at Japanese restaurants. On its own I usually only drink it during the winter months. My favourite when dining is the Genmaicha, I find the popped rice stimulates my appetite.
The whole temperature thing is really interesting to know, now I just need to get one those hot water dispensers (or something).👍🏼👍🏼 Lol, that ending though was awesome.👍🏼👍🏼 🤜🏻🤛🏻
I love this video on Japanese Green Tea. Everything you covered in this video is something that I would like to check out when I am finally able to travel to Japan. I especially would love to try that green tea tasting at the plantation. That view of Mount Fuji in the background while tasting the tea is breathtaking. I'm in love with Mount Fuji. What a great view from the fields of beloved green tea.
Great to see a new!!!! Episode on the ONLY IN JAPAN CHANNEL!!!!! And I love green tea!!!! 💚💚🍵🍵 can’t say I have tried them all ? But sencha and genmaicha love the smell of the brown rice in it!!!! Love to line them all up and try them all to really compare!!!!! ♥️ I drink plain water but when I relax it’s always green teas or sometimes other teas like earl grey or peppermint teas or chai Great educational vid John!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻 P.s we got to see that bungee jump John!!!!🤣
I truly enjoy your work, my girlfriend is born and raised in Tokyo Japan and I am learning so much from her, and you are my bonus, I am glad I stumbled upon your platform. Thank you

I was not expecting that ending haha
People that did not stay til the end missed out! That was so unexpected!
Bungee!!
Can't believe one man is making these videos. Quality is that of proper tv shows with huge budgets and production team.
I would love the animated intro as a "tea" shirt 😂.
😂
The beautiful Mount Fuji area...

Yep like both
I am a coffee drinker, but I really love Genmaicha! The mix of the rice and tea is a really pleasant taste.
I like both, balance is key.

Are you Japanese?

I drink tea many times a week, jasmin tea is my favorite
Ooh! Jasmine Tea is so good too! I backpacked China in 2000-2001 and would sip tea on long train rides for days. Now everything is so fast. Jasmine tea to me = slow down and relax 😌

Ilove Japanese green tea,and green tea from Mount Fuji is special.

I keep telling myself I should drink green tea more...but I'm a hardcore coffee drinker. Great content, John!
Me too. Me too. I have a New Years resolution, more 🍵 and I started drinking ☕️ after a month.
Green tea has always been my secondary to coffee, as in I drink my morning coffee then green tea all day long. Helps me get through my day and in the winter months I squeeze a lemon slice and a few slivers of ginger as an immune boost to help fight off anything coming my way. This is a great video on the different benefits to green tea.
1 word to describe this video. Heaven.
Glad to get to see another edited video, that was very informative.
Green Tea is yummy!
I absolutely love these kind of videos and I really wish you would do more of them.
Thanks for sharing this show! It is good to learn more about Japanese tea making and drinking.
What a great video. A lot of information, I can not wait for future green tea videos.
That was sneaky. I was hoping to never see that bungee jump. I wouldn't have screamed myself because I would never have jumped.
Awesome content as always Mr. John Daub!
Very informative! Never seen the difference between brewing temperatures explained so clearly.
Another great episode, thank you so much for your videos, I love every one.... greatings from Colombia!! and stay safe :)
Sugoi! SO much information about Green tea! Beautiful scenery also. Thank you, John! 💞
Another reason to visit Japan, trying Green Tea from the source! Thanks John for another interesting peek into Japan 🇯🇵
Got a good laugh from that epic scream at the end! LOL! You're a brave man! Thanks for another great vid!
Omg! That ending part 🤣😂.. I was not expecting that!!! Thanks for the new video John, I always like to learn new things around Japan.

14:41 for a moment there he sounded like the Lego Star Wars Yoda death screech lol
The farm’s atmosphere is so great
I drink BOTH !! Love the green tea with the roasted rice it is soooo good !!
Awesome video! Loved the ending!! I give you a ton of credit for that one.
I drink tea every day for the past twenty years, but I just gained most my knowledge about tea in past twenty minutes. Thanks John!
green tea is simp-le but yet has so much depth.
Yep simple, though very powerful and complicated in it's on way. It's kind of crazy how many overlook it or under appreciate it. I have certain seasons and time I would drink it on a daily basis. Then stop so my body doesn't get use to it all the time. It's a great tool in ones own health and well being. I also love coffee, but I keep it balanced
So much passion in all your videos, love your stuff. Amazing that you still have so much creativity and motivation after all these years. Keep it up.👍
Love, Love, Love, Green Japanese Tea. Great video.
I love green tea! But the first time I've tried i honestly thought it wasn't for me, but through time i honestly fell inlove with the taste
Beautiful video John. the last screaming bungee jump was awaited much.....thank you for letting us see, u screaming again😂😂🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you 🙏. This was great!!
Brilliant video! Very informative with the information well presented. Beautiful shots, and as for the ending...you're a braver man than I!
My favorite episode since the start of this channel. I was always a black tea and green tea drinker until the pandemic started. I became addicted to coffee. Now I'm starting to drink less. This episode is definitely enticing me to drink more green tea. Thank you John 🙏🙏🙏 .

Need more videos like this!
great video, JD. love how absolutely peaceful that area where they grow the tea is.
Fascinating.
A most enjoyable video; opening drone shots of Fuji-san were spectacular. And I'll try brewing tea at various temperatures, now.
Oh man, awesome, new fully produced episodes!
Sorry I missed the notification for this! Thanks for the high quality work ❤️
Hello John!!! So good to see you!!! Thanks for the video
My family is from Fuji and it's so good to see that someone is finally doing a video on the tea there! Thank you!
I lived in Fujinomiya back in 2000 and loved it there. I’ll be back again soon :)
great video quality...and the ending was really great
I love this video on Japanese Green Tea. Everything you covered in this video is something that I would like to check out when I am finally able to travel to Japan.

Great to see a new!!!! Episode on the ONLY IN JAPAN CHANNEL!!!!!
And I love green tea!!!! 💚💚🍵🍵 can’t say I have tried them all ?
But sencha and genmaicha love the smell of the brown rice in it!!!!
Love to line them all up and try them all to really compare!!!!! ♥️
I drink plain water but when I relax it’s always green teas or sometimes other teas like earl grey or peppermint teas or chai
Great educational vid John!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
P.s we got to see that bungee jump John!!!!🤣
YOU ALWAYS PROVIDE SO MUCH LEARNING CONTENT W/ AN AMAZING STORYTELLING ❤️❤️❤️
This inspired me to go make a pot of my genmaicha. Awesome video John!
I truly enjoy your work, my girlfriend is born and raised in Tokyo Japan and I am learning so much from her, and you are my bonus, I am glad I stumbled upon your platform. Thank you
The camera angles are so good, I'm impressed knowing this was made by one person.
I think it has to be more than one. For instance, that drone shot at the beginning wasn't being controlled/filmed by John.
That ending looks fun.
Great video and look forward to learning more in this series. Thanks, John.
I love the scent of genmaicha. I am a tea-aholic and I loved this video so much. I would probably re-watch it a few times. 11:26 how adorable!
