Celine's facial expression on the dry leaf made me smile. Don's reactions to great tea is also fun but I love when Celine just internally flips out. And I wish the bloopers didn't have the cuss words bleeped but I understand since this is sort of a family friendly channel. Don, the bloopers show your frustration but know that we love them as much as the final cuts & the bloopers are understandable if you're tea drunk for a lot of the mishaps lol! Mei Leaf got me to deep dive into tea & I've been loving it ever since. So thank you both!
I don't know whether it is because I just got done working a 16 hour shift at the hospital and I'm just giddy or something else, but the bloopers had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Have a happy and joyful and prosperous new year!
Absolutely loved the bloopers!!!! Thank you for sharing and a happy, healthy and extremely successful new year to don, celine and everyone watching this video♥️🥳
Always a treat to see Celine - hopefully she will be featured more often in 2022 videos :) Of course if Ayana will allow it ;) Bloopers are hilarious as always :))
Thank you so much for your incredible, amazing knowledge. The bloopers are hilarious, AND at least now I know you're human. For the past week (I've just started this journey) I've immersed myself in your videos, and I was beginning to wonder if you are from this planet. Love your bloopers. There is hope for us!! Tomorrow going to buy tea!! From a reputable tea place in PDX!! Hope I can sleep.
Don and Celine thank you for your videos. I live in Utah, US and we don't have the commodity of having access to quality tea unless you buy it online. I live vicariously through you guys. Thank you so much.
“Staying still… of course it’s staying still it’s a plant” 😂😂 love the bloopers. A great way to leave last year’s mistakes in the threshold of the new year, you have a whole year to make new ones! To new mistakes and new teas! 🎉
I always push black teas; hot and strong brews, longer brewing time. I may get fewer infusions but I usually get more out of them. Just what I like to do. *shrug* I loved watching this tasting! 👍
Where others would get carried away with the perceived status/value of this tea; I find that your reaction is very telling of an experienced. And practiced tea connoisseur. I appreciate what you do and look forward to this upcoming year of your content. Happy new year!
Happy New Year! Wish I could try it, but it it were easily available I wouldn't be able to justify the expense. If I had it, I'm not sure I could convince myself any time was special enough to drink it. I've never had a JJM and am still holding on to my little package of SS JJM. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy them. I loved the bloopers and can't believe I watched them all! You've been saving those up for a while, huh?.
I drank tea for the first time in 10 years, once covid started and I had a sore throat. I found a old tea bag in a jar, and drank it just so I could soothe my throat. I had drink tea before but I never enjoyed it until then. Now a year later I have 400 dollars in tea wears, collect clay pots, have monthly subscriptions to tea, and drink like 7 pints a day. (Down from around 15 when I first started a year ago) So it's safe to say I love tea now and thank forgetting me hyped about tea wear and different types of tea, raw, and whites.
Happy new year to you both, love your videos. As I don’t live in London anymore this is nice, I’m learning so much about tea 👍🏼. I would love to buy 10g please 🙏🏼. What a treat that would make 🥳
This reminds me a lot of the notes that you find in competition lots of specialty coffee-insanely expensive, but often have notes like macerated strawberry, watermelon, cherries, liqueur, chocolate. I don't know so much how exactly this tea was processed-but I also noticed what Celine mentioned, saying it was similar to a specialty chocolate with distinct fruity chocolatey notes. Could it be that most humans really like this flavour profile from these "fermented" beverages/products? I just thought it was interesting that these expensive/luxury variations in tea and coffee share these similar profiles.
I thought handmade teaware and tea cakes were expensive but wow, that tea is 10x the price! I'm also not even surprised that the law of diminishing returns even applies to tea. I have felt that same disappointment before what with the taste not living up to the smell. This one shu I tried aptly labeled "Black PuErh" tasted like a light mediocre black tea but had the longevity of a shu and this one Keemun I tried was strangely light and lacking whether I brewed lower as is recommended for the Superior Keemun or at a more typical black tea temp. Those bloopers at the end are hilarious and Don is more of a goofball than I thought!
amazing. one of mother earth's strongest mind altering plants. thank you for the deep and detailed work. i am having wildwood black with milk while watching this. camellia sinensis connecting sharp minds all around the globe🙏🏻
I would really like to try it… but the thing is, it really depends on how much I would need to purchase. I could probably justify getting enough for a single session, but even as little as 20 grams starts to get a bit harder to justify when I consider how much other tea I could buy with that money. Although doing it just once is very tempting still. I would be curious to know more specific pricing details.
I am so glad I am not the only sufferer of word salad hahaha. Some crazy tongue twisters out there, it's refreshing to see gibberish is a common thing 🤣
@@missourimongoose8858 Don has covered this like a million times before. The cost of getting new staff, renting a warehouse, figguring out the logistics etc are going to make it cost more for the consumer in the end, not less, you might pay less in shipping, but the extra overhead is just going to be inculded in the tea price, you're not gonna save any money. I suggest just finding a US tea supplier if the shipping cost is such a big problem for you
It can't be 1,200 usd for 100 gram mate, the retail price from Liang Junde's own shop on Tmall is 850 rmb (120 USD) for 50 gram. They do have one that retails at 9,260 rmb (1,300 USD) for 150 gram, is because Mr. Liang has also contributed partially to the productions. If you spent 1,200 USD for 100 gram I hope they told you it's Mr. Liang's special production 😃
Yep, it’s expensive, but given the fact that you’re going to get more tea out of it than out of paying the same amount for a bottle of year’s champagne that you drink with your friends…
Very expensive tea is not worth buying if you can't afford it. I go beyond typical teabags and am not that cheap unless there is no alternative and there are good quality inexpensive leaf grade teas in many stores and websites

32:42 Needs to be my new ringtone… 😂
These are some of the best bloopers I’ve ever watched, thanks for all the hard work and the laughs!
bli bli bli, bli bling rock
hahahahaha best comment ever
31:43 is mine
I don't know whether it is because I just got done working a 16 hour shift at the hospital and I'm just giddy or something else, but the bloopers had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. Have a happy and joyful and prosperous new year!
your videos are always so well presented and professional so it's really fun to watch the bloopers and see the other side of haha
Absolutely loved the bloopers!!!! Thank you for sharing and a happy, healthy and extremely successful new year to don, celine and everyone watching this video♥️🥳
My Teahead Senses are tingling!
Came here 2 min after posting,
No bell notifications, nothing.
Happy New Year everyone!!
The bloopers. Omg. 😂 Thank you for those. Happy New Year's!
Omg the bloopers are sooooooo hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. 😂😂😂
Always a treat to see Celine - hopefully she will be featured more often in 2022 videos :) Of course if Ayana will allow it ;)
Bloopers are hilarious as always :))
Honestly would love to see the bloopers in the actual videos, either edited in or added to the ends. Adds a bit of lightness to them
Definitely the best and most realistic outtakes ever! 🤣👍
Don you're the best. You're really funny thank you for the bloopers and please keep them coming!
Happy new year. I am sipping on my $5 a pound green tea. Not too shabby once you pick all the sticks and stones out of it
Great bloopers, you got my subscription!
Oh my word, the bloopers were awesome!
The bloop with the tea in the glass instead of in the filter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 WONDERFUL!
31:42 is the most relatable I have ever found Don. Thumbs up for losing our minds in a mindless world 🤣

I buy through verdant tea, its based in the US so the shipping isn't God awful and I recommend the golden fleece black
I live in Idaho. I just order Meileaf tea, Steeping Room or Tea vivre.
Great videos! By far some of the best quality, most informative ones out there. Thank you both, much love!!
“Staying still… of course it’s staying still it’s a plant” 😂😂 love the bloopers. A great way to leave last year’s mistakes in the threshold of the new year, you have a whole year to make new ones! To new mistakes and new teas! 🎉
Bless you for those Bloopers! You had me laughing so hard. I can only imagine how much fun a good in person tea session with you would be.
Happy new year to you both!
Had to lough so much about the bloopers 😆
Then I wondered, in which teavideo was a Tong included? 🧐
I would have never guessed you could have such a hard time Don! The bloopers had me rolling!! Thank you for the laugh ❤
Loved the bloopers. The Bling Rock Kingpin......hilarious.
I always push black teas; hot and strong brews, longer brewing time. I may get fewer infusions but I usually get more out of them. Just what I like to do. *shrug*
I loved watching this tasting! 👍
Have a fuggy new year 🤣
I love when Don goes full Liverpool at 31:13 😂
Love your videos but these just made my day.
It just shows how human we all are :)
Thank you for world of tea and all the magical best in 2022 :)
Lol those bloopers were hilarious!
Happy New Year - Thank you for the entertaining and informative sessions. Love them.
What a way to end the day. Perfect commuter channel 😄
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Happy 2022 to you Don and Celine and thanks for the great video :-)

Always love your videos. But those bloomers took me out, wasn’t ready for them. LOL 🤣 Luv you guys!
Excellent, love it "did not launch you off the sofa" fun bloopers "nice' " I hate the word nice" thank you, Happy New Year 👍😊

Happy new year
Happy New Year everyone! I know I’d be interested in purchasing a small amount of this tea to try. Love the bloopers haha
I am already waiting for Young GuShu 2022
I drank tea for the first time in 10 years, once covid started and I had a sore throat. I found a old tea bag in a jar, and drank it just so I could soothe my throat.

the bloopers are amazing haha
Love that Celine's top matches the teaware.
Good looking duanni you’re using there. It *is* a duanni, yes?
At any rate, thank you for the interesting video, and Happy New Year!
it looks thicc
Love the bloopers. "I hate the word nice" 🤣 perfect!
The Hermes of tea. Happy New Year from Atlanta, Georgia.
Happy new year to you both, love your videos. As I don’t live in London anymore this is nice, I’m learning so much about tea 👍🏼. I would love to buy 10g please 🙏🏼. What a treat that would make 🥳

May 2022 be kind to us all!
YES - It is worth it! ^^ Happy New year!
Merry Christmas...

The flute brewer is my fav reminded me of when I did that before🤣. My reaction was almost the same😆
I thought handmade teaware and tea cakes were expensive but wow, that tea is 10x the price! I'm also not even surprised that the law of diminishing returns even applies to tea. I have felt that same disappointment before what with the taste not living up to the smell.

So glad you do these tastings so us normies can experience these teas without spending a fortune!
Hi! I wonder if the offer to help us get some of this original JJM is still going on? I’m so curious and am up to try 10g maybe 15g?
amazing. one of mother earth's strongest mind altering plants. thank you for the deep and detailed work. i am having wildwood black with milk while watching this. camellia sinensis connecting sharp minds all around the globe🙏🏻
that's a Kamjove cooker lol.. i probably got the same.. heard the beep and kettle is the same.. T-22A ?
How would one go about buying 10g just to try?
I would really like to try it… but the thing is, it really depends on how much I would need to purchase. I could probably justify getting enough for a single session, but even as little as 20 grams starts to get a bit harder to justify when I consider how much other tea I could buy with that money. Although doing it just once is very tempting still. I would be curious to know more specific pricing details.
‘…Where the f*ck is my pot?’ 😂
Great story, I don't know why my mind visualized its plot through a Thundercats lens, it might be the Gyokuro. lol Cheers! 🍵
I think should use gaiwan for such fragrant tea instead of duan ni pot. The pot will mute the taste and fragrance greatly. In my humble opinion. TQ
I am so glad I am not the only sufferer of word salad hahaha. Some crazy tongue twisters out there, it's refreshing to see gibberish is a common thing 🤣
When are you going to open a US store 😫
Shipping is not that expensive, and very quick.
@@MrPynchon oh but it really is man it's like third of the price

Not necessarily true, there are some great Champagnes to be had for under $100
ooooh!! I want that pot. im drewling.
I'm sipping on some gifted Puehr from Texas USA
"where the f*ck is my pot" :D
Compare to the Yixing collectibles that last couple hundred years, I prefer to spend my 1200 dollars there
Y'all are cruel the way you smell the tea and talk about how incredible it is 🤣
I'm a very olfactory person 😉
I was thinking 1200 usd for a kilo but for 100 g, wow that’s ver pricy tea but the pricss of every thing these days are off the chart.
I’ll take 10 gram please 🙃
Now you pull out Duani clayware. That's very mean when one has spent too much money already. Chuckles.
Seems wrong to rinse this tea!
Very expensive tea is not worth buying if you can't afford it. I go beyond typical teabags and am not that cheap unless there is no alternative and there are good quality inexpensive leaf grade teas in many stores and websites
hehehe now drop milk in it because I am assuming your British
150$ is my yearly supply of tea, so I shall probably pass. 🤷♂️
fuggie hahaha
