I like how some Chinese people say that tea drunkeness comes from the qi of the plant too. I'm not doubting the science of course, but I reckon maybe a bit of both.
For sure. I think they're related in that it's different ways of explaining the same thing. But some things related to tea are quite difficult to explain without resorting to terms like qi and energy. And you only really get a sense of this once you've had teas that have given you this kind of feeling. Trying to explain it to someone who hasn't somewhat experienced this is tricky
I think your idea about how this works in accurate. However, there are a number of other compounds that are psychoactive that all come together in a very complex cocktail that varies enormously with type of tea, age of tea, terroir, processing and environment. Some other compounds to think about are GABA (aminobutyric acid), Theobromine, and all the compounds that come from metabolism of caffeine and all the other initial compounds. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching. Yeah I think I've barely only got the most basic of understandings of how getting tea drunk possibly works and there's a lot more going on than what I've talked about in this video
Yeah, that's definitely the effects on me as well. This is likely because the fermentation process when making ripe pu'erh removes a lot of the caffeine content.
Recently I was out with a friend at the bar and we had a chimichanga (fried burrito) and fries for dinner. My friend also had a couple beers (I don't drink). I invited him back to my place for some liu bao hei cha, because I wanted a digestive. We drank the tea, and he reported that it made him super sleepy and cooled him off. 😄
Bro just pick a tea and chill with it. I think you drank too much 😂 Take your time, savor the flavors and the aromas and let your body relax as you let the essence of the tea wash over you. Just enjoy and appreciate the leaf, and it will share its magic with you. 🍃
Oh my goodness now I know😮. For years as a Tea lover without understanding why I enjoy this state of 🧠!! I have had a few Sunday afternoons in which I have done this and did not realise Im a teaholic.. I often on a Sunday afternoon have had an afternoon of having many different teas yeah and been in your situation, many times. I start of with Deejarling, move onto Assam, Move onto Earl Grey then I move onto Chinese Oolong and onto both Japanese and Chines Green tea then last onto my favourite two Chinese teas. I have my own tea garden and tea house shed out the back and love this state of 🧠 journey I go through. Thought I was onto something, thank you for this video on what they call tea drunk. Still got to be way better and better tea drunk and being in a pleasant place than drunk at a bar at a local pub🤔.
I have had many whites that get me there,which surprised me at first. I love Shoumei,it is a tea that I always purchase when I see it. There is also a bit of a cake left,it’s a 2003 Sheng(raw) Pu Erh,that takes me to that place as well. Ahhh! I’m maybe 3 sessions away from running out of that beautiful cake😫
I bought some pu erh tea out of curiosity and on the second time trying it I entered a state that seemed very similar to being high on weed. I was lightheaded and floaty but also full of euphoria. Now im kinda into tea.
Don't need these expensive aged teas. Just go into any Middle Eastern Grocery where they'll have a shelf stocked with big containers of very potent teas both green and black teas are strong, you'll need to find something for calming, chamomile if that works for you or throw in a Jilungin leaf (Aboriginal sleep tea)
But the expensive aged teas are so much more enjoyable than supermarket teas 😆 But it can be a bit much to enjoy regularly on a daily basis. Herbal infusions like camomile can definitely help balance the caffeine from pure teas
Either way, it'll take a lot of green tea and the l-theanine in it to balance the caffeine in the coffee. But, nothing like a good caffeine hit to counter some alcohol
I have been able to get tea drunk off Japanese teas like sencha and gyokuro. I believe a supplier called west china tea sells a tea drunk expirience bundle. and meileaf sells a GABA oolong tea and has a good video about tea drunk and gaba effects.
Dont get too tea drunk because it is quite likely that you will feel nauseaous. Also, if you really do want to get tea drunk, I recommend dancong oolong.
Indeed, though despite the amount of tea drunk in the one day, luckily, I didn't reach that point of nausea. Agree that Dancong Oolongs can also get us to that tea drunk state
@@teaangle Ah nooo, thats not how i meant it, im drinking expensive tea but to be honest i never got tea drunken after just 1 tea even with multiple infusions, maybe depend also from person to person the tea drunken effect. But i need to say your TH-cam Channel is amazing only 1 of 2 channels which i like here on TH-cam, very informative and interesting thematics :) only wished you we're located in Europe sadly to far away to visit your Shop !
Ah ok, misunderstood there. Yeah I usually need maybe 2-3 teas, multiple infusions to get that tea drunk feeling. It does depend on people's tolerance and everyone is different. Thank you for watching, appreciate the support 🙏

I find it interesting that raw puer gives me burst of energy while ripe puer makes me sleepy all day

In most daily cases, yep I wholeheartedly agree 😊 But for this video, I wanted to see if one can really have too much tea. And well... 😅
Yes I agree, you were too tea drunk here in this video as you literally drank an aged white tea and a green tea simultaneously 😂
Bro you seem geeked to the street after that third Tea. Lmao.
Yeah I have to admit, might've gone a little overboard with the tea consumption there 😅
It seems more like a tea high than tea drunk. I remember having too many cups of Earl Grey or gunpowder greentea. I felt more stimulated than relaxed.
Oh my goodness now I know😮.

It's always tricky when you're down to your last few sessions of a special tea. Enjoy it while you can 😀
That aged white tea looked pretty good!
It was :)
Also, I think if I continued to drink only that tea all day, I would've still hit that tea drunk state
Did you shoot this on Good Friday? If so, I think I saw the production as I walked past.
If only I could shoot + edit and release videos that quickly :p
This one was shot about 2 weeks ago, late March
I bought some pu erh tea out of curiosity and on the second time trying it I entered a state that seemed very similar to being high on weed. I was lightheaded and floaty but also full of euphoria. Now im kinda into tea.
That's often how many get hooked on to pu'erh tea

@@teaangle Okay well options
It was also helpful to be in drunk drinking coffee with korean(maybe it was Japanese i don't remember exactly) green tea
and with some whisky also make fun guess it was different kind of drunk though

@@ericmsmith20 Haven't had much experience with Gyokuro but I would imagine it'd be a tea to get folks tea drunk
High quality Darjeeling Tea, messed me up quite a few times, so I am fairly aware when I drink it now haha
Yet sometimes, just for fun, you want to be taken to that place :p
@@teaangle nnooooooot denying that xD hahaha
If I want to get drunk raw pu-erh is my go too. But do love a good white tea lift aswell.
For sure, a decent session with a raw pu'erh gets me there almost without fail
That is a gorgeous Gaiwan, where can I find one like it?
Thanks. We work with an artist in China to get them made. More details here: www.teaangle.com/collections/luo-zhi-min-handmade-teaware
New to your channel. Love the vids and aesthetics.
Thanks for watching, appreciate the support 🙏
I am living in china rn and i had this happen i didnt even know it could! I just loved the puerer and kept having more! Now i am doing it again 😈
Yeah that's how it starts. It's an addiction (albeit a good one) :p

@@teaangleI got tea drunk earlier today unintentionally. I had absolutely no nausea.
Best feeling ever :D but i think its a thing of quantity over quality, mostly i felt that only when i were drinking 3 times per day tea
Indeed. Copious amounts of any tea I'm sure will get you nice and tea drunk...but the journey is so much more enjoyable with quality tea :)

Oolong is good too😊
Not all Oolongs but certain ones (e.g. Dancong Oolongs) can definitely get you there as well
Love you oolong time baby
I got drunk with oolong. It is special grade tie guan yin
Nice 🙂
Do you think tea drunk is easier and better with people? It seems like maybe a social thing as much as a biological thing.
For sure. I think the effects are definitely elevated when you get tea drunk with others. There's definitely a social aspect to it.
