+houston34 Exactly. The Chinese always try to make everything profound and deep and cultural, while maybe that really is the case, we just need a simple instrution to enjoy a good cup of tea(and other arts).
You have opened my heart and mind to the beauty of tea. Since discovering your site I no longer drink coffee, soda, or other awful tasting stuff. My day begins at 5am with Matcha and meditation. Then a hearty Scottish tea around 8am, at 10am a break for green or white tea, lunch at 1pm and maybe (hold your ears some iced tea) around 4pm green tea again maybe with Jasmine flowers another break & meditation then a light fruit tea before bed. I am a much happier soul Thank you.
green tea, you need to put green tea bag in hot water not more than 3 minitues. if you put longer , then bitter, try best tea from Sri Lanka. ceylon tea www.ceylonteabrew.com
My ears perked up when I heard tea pet.. no idea what one was, but knew instinctively I would adore it! Delightful! I'll be collecting these for the rest of my life now, thanks. 😊
I love tea so much, cannot believe I didn't start getting into it until my 20's. Changing my entire lifestyle and health around, actually in the process of curing my acne! This has been a 13 hear struggle and o finally found the key. Your microbiome is everything! Tea is fantastic for supporting that.
Just wanted to say thank you. I love tea but had no idea how to properly make it. Boiled water, tea bags, left the bag in the cup etc. Made my first cup of tea the traditional way and was impressed. The first thing my wife said was, "wow, this tastes way less bitter".
IT'S BITTER BECAUSE YOU BREWED IT FOR TOO LONG!😡 THE REASON THERE ARE SPECIFIED BREWING TIMES ON TEABAG SETS IS BECAUSE IF YOU LEAVE THE TEA IN THERE FOR TOO LONG IT GOES BITTER!
Today I ordered from you for the first time (I'm brand new to high quality leaf teas)......... I would never have had the information needed to take this first step without watching dozens of your terrific videos over the last few weeks! Thanks so much for truly informative videos that make sense :)
Loose leaf tea is easy to brew. I have a kettle that has a little cup that holds the leaves and an extra strainer that strains it further as I pour. The cup inside the kettle is big so you don't get the blockage problem mentioned with the metal tea balls.
I'm watching this after I've learned so many amazing things by Mei Leaf, and now I can 'fully' understand what's being said in this video verses the first time. I've always appreciated your educations. Thanks.
This video was very high-quality and very informative! It's so well-shot and well-spoken that the time just flies by, and I appreciate how the information given is very clear and precise, not to mention kept as objective as possible!
For years I could not understand what on earth was going on with tea bags, the tea was miserably bitter... Recently I started using proper whole leaf tea, thanks for opening our eyes guys.
@@ketsiachoisie9377 Answer: JUST DON'T DO IT! Loose leaf tea is basically the same as the tea in bags, except in the bag, the leaves are ground up so they take less time to brew. It's probably bitter because this commenter brewed it for too long. 3 minutes max if you don't want bitter tea bags. Common sense. Loose leaf tea is also very messy, and not all tea bags are machine picked. Some of the higher quality ones handpick them. Not much difference except a bunch of loose tea leaves all over the table as you struggle to get the right amount into the teapot where you could have used a pre-portioned bag of tea. End of Story.
@The Great Chaos at what temperature? I've never had good tea from tea dust. It's always burnt bitter even if I steep exactly at the suppliers' recommendations. I think if you reduce heat and time drastically, then it might be okay, but it's probably pretty bland too.
@@thegreatchaos13 However, loose leaf tea has far more variety available. The average quality is far higher than bagged tea. Bagged tea, especially the lower quality brands like Bigelow and Lipton, is usually fannings - tiny tea leaves and dust with little flavor (except bitter - bleh!). Loose leaf teas tend to have far more flavor - and even better, because you can control the amount of leaf, you can control the flavor much better!
@@trout3685 If you are using green tea, let the water cool down for a few minutes before adding. If you add the water while it is boiling, it will burn the tea.
WOW! I have been educated! Even after living in several countries where this is an important way of Life, I never understood it as I do now. Gonna try out the process now. Thanks for the wonderful explanation!
I'm so glad I watched this before my tea set arrived. I got a brick of tea for Christmas and wanted something special to brew it in. I have only ever brewed western style before. Bullet dodged. 27:27 Man took 30 seconds for a 10 second brew.
Greetings from Germany, This video was my primer to good tea brewing. I always loved the calm setting and detail of the information. I show this video to anyone who enjoys tea. If I ever come to London (one day I will), I'd be happy to visit your store.
thank you for replying. the sencha I'm drinking is from the seogwang tea garden. It has almost no gras flavors (unlike the common japanese senchas I know) and is fruity and mellow.
I bought an really expensive oolong in San Francisco. I haven't opened it, because I know this whole time I've been brewing tea very wrong, so I wanted to enjoy the tea proper way. This is very informative.
Learned to brew tea from my moroccan friend they have a big tea culture . They wash the tea with boiling water first because of sand and then brew it again to drink it and it also helps with other teas and since i do that everyone that comes over wants loose leave tea. Oolong, green jasmine tea and black lychee tea are my favorites
I FINALLY FOUND THE RIGHT CHANNEL. I want to learn how to blend teas and work with tea in general. I want to open my own metaphysical shop where besides magickal objects, herbs, and crystals, I will sell my own blends of tea.
Oowh, I’m excited! 😮😁😍🙌🏼 I just watched a video that Celine did on removal of stains and now I’m committing myself to learning about tea; your voice is ALSO pretty ASMRish, Don. I’mma be HOOKED in this marvellous shenanigans, I know it! 😃😬😂🤗👍🏼👌🏼 Cheers, beaut 😘
I loved this, as I am just beginning to learn about tea and the processes. I love tea but would just use the convenience (or so I thought) of the ugly "tea dust" bags! I am no longer using this and as of tomorrow, shopping for my first "real grown up" tea accessories and cannot wait to have a tea ceremony with my family. Thank you and great video!!!!
Hello. I just discovered your channel and i want to tell you something : very, very rare i've seen such an accurate description, full of fantastic information with a very beautiful narration. I'm not a pro so for me is so useful . Congratulation & Thank You very much.
Thanks for the run through!! I am such a newbie to this special way of doing it, but already love the respect and care being taken in this method. I can’t wait for my aged White Peony to arrive!! 😀😁🇦🇺
Man I truly express my gratitude for sharing your knowledge although I hate to admit it but i'm somewhat of a cheater because rather than using the methods which you have demonstrated I just use my coffee maker which has a tea setting which allows the tea to steep in the hot water for some minutes perhaps no longer than two or three minutes so as to allow flavor to be infused
Hey brother I’m in north Brisbane and starting a tea company to help fight the cancer rate in Australia and make people more aware of food and mood, medicines like herbs, herbal tea. I love your videos it all makes sense to me as I’m a chef by trade and it’s similar to making a good stock or soup, pho kind of. Quality first
I really thank you for all your videos! I am now working as a sourcing and buying manager in the promotional gift industry but my dream is to get a job in tea sourcing. With all those videos I learn a lot everyday from your videos. Your explanation are very clear, concise, professionally explained. I love it. Thank you again so much!! :)
been slowly wanting to learn more about tea after over a year or two of my expanding love for a good cup of tea.... so glad I found your channel..... (Alex brought me here ;-P)
This sounds great but as there were no thermomitors 2000 years ago, I boil my water pour it in my pot, oh sorry vessel, let it stand for a few minuets and pour it through a fin mesh strainer anto the cup and that works real well
You mentioned you can save the tea leaves after tbe first brewing for later use. How do you store the used leaves and for how long can you save them? A few hours? A few days? Thank you.
I learned all I came for, although if I were just now getting into tea for the first time the guy in the video came off as very passionate; which in turn could scary people away.
One I came across was "Plastic Teabags Release Billions of Microparticles and Nanoparticles into Tea" by Hernandez, et al. (Environ. Sci. Technol. 2019, 53, 21, 12300-12310)
Excellent video! So informative! I’ve learned a lot, I had no idea. I also didn’t know about the cups with built in infuser, that’s great. I’m going to look for one. Thanks for sharing this video.
My drink of preference has always been tea. Up until now, I've never studied tea or looked into it deeper. Just know I've always really liked it. I'm actually surprised at myself that I've never ventured down this path since I enjoy plants too. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning. I'm assuming I will eventually become a true tea head. BTW, I've always liked Asian style tea pots. I've often told my family how much I've wanted a unique tea set. I'm going to ask them tomorrow to see if they still remember what that one thing is that I've always wanted.
absolutely beautiful presentation. I'll throw away my tea bags, get some proper tea and equipment and start my cultural journey in a proper way. Thanks a lot!
Once again, I would like to leave a strong comment. These videos are excellent. Don is an extraordinary personality that brings the tea culture the warmth and welcoming it truly deserves. I have never purchased tea from you, but will take a leap and check it out. I have been watching several of your videos today and will continue to do so. Great job!! A+++
great video for intro info! I'm new to tea brewing and this was great info. i love the chart. I do have one question. I'm not the best at tasting all the small notes of a tea or coffee for that matter but I am still curious on what to look for when it comes to adjusting the tea time. I noticed on the chart for stripped oolong tea it is recommended 20 seconds but you stated with this tea that it should be 10 seconds. My questions are in regards to how do you know the time should be 10 instead of 20. What do you look for in taste for adjusting the time. Also if the time of the infusion is 10 instead of 20 seconds is it safe to assume that more infusions could be used for the tea and how do I know when they tea is done and new tea should be used? Thanks for the help!
Hey Talmadge. We are continuously working on our brewing times to find the best ones for us. The chart (chinalifeweb.com/guides/the-tea-brewing-chart/) is our most recent attempt but this video was made a few years ago so I would stick to the chart as a starting point and then try yourself. Longer infusions will mean that you get less infusions.

"The tea is starting to wake up, after it's long journey from the mountains" what a beautiful analogy.
I rarely watch videos that are beyond 8 minutes long (or skip), but you sir, are so informative that I watched the entire video. Awesome work!
I agree! I was going to just listen to this whole I crocheted but ended up watching the whole thing.
Same. I think I watched another one that was close to an hour today. My newest obsession, right here.
What are you watching dude 😂😂
I like how even when sirens are blasting away in the background he doesn't even react to it just acts like there's no sirens haha
Watch the video when he is in China! He blew up! lol
i thought that was outside my window... xD
I didn't even bat an eye

+houston34 Exactly. The Chinese always try to make everything profound and deep and cultural, while maybe that really is the case, we just need a simple instrution to enjoy a good cup of tea(and other arts).

This is beautiful. Glad you’re doing so well!
drinking too many cups of tea a day is not the healthiest
That's probably more because of the meditation. But not bad!
love this guy, very informative and well spoken!
fig leaf benefits
Justin Gilmaine sub me please
Justin Gilmaine found out stuff I didn’t even know so won’t be buying grocery store teas any more.
He's quite busy pushing his product. you halfwit.
The tea ceremony process is so beautiful lol
Gabby Garcia yes of course it can be beautiful.
I did not even understand why my green tea leaves were so bitter, after trying your method just now, i got to say i've fallen in love with tea.

You just became the teacher of my 'Introduction to Tea 101' course :) Thanks
That glass mug and infuser looks perfect, there is so much room for the tea to float around.
Tea changed my life.
very informative video, i knew nothing about tea traditional 30 minutes ago and now i feel like a tea guru. thank you
My ears perked up when I heard tea pet.. no idea what one was, but knew instinctively I would adore it! Delightful! I'll be collecting these for the rest of my life now, thanks. 😊

Great details and finesse very engaging and informative
I thought I knew a lot about tea but... apparently not. This was awesome.
This sounds great but as there were no thermomitors 2000 years ago, I boil my water pour it in my pot, oh sorry vessel, let it stand for a few minuets and pour it through a fin mesh strainer anto the cup and that works real well
I have a 3 inch in diameter tea ball... There's plenty of room for the tea.. I think I'm fine.

Absolutely wonderful . Such a delightful way to make ☕️. tea
and so delightfully ‘peaceful ‘ in this ‘racing’ world. Thank you
We use the same small cup for drinking Bedouin coffee it’s has also a special preparation thank you for your informative video

I'd love a feature on Irish tea, it's so different to other black teas.
Interesting vid. I have noticed when reusing a Keurig pod that the tea is less bitter and more enjoyable.
if they ask you the Japanese tea ceremony then you you have my permission to be afraid haha the Japanese way are waaaayyy mooore sophisticated
I live going back on these old videos of when I first found this channel. Back when it was called China life.
