Your videos are always informative and entertaining, and this video is no exception. I was truly fascinated how the Japanese use other ingredients to improve the taste of older green tea. P.S. the drone shots were simply stunning.

Agreed!

I lived in Shizuoka for 2 years, thank you for telling the world about Shizuoka's green tea. I remember I cycled through a massive green tea farm on the northern part of Shizuoka city. Now I kinda miss living there, haha. I hope this channel can grow more and regain its former glory

@@onlyinjapan I dont think i realize the channel shrunk, although i did think i recall this channel originally being several people with John as only 1 of the hosts / members... i kind of forgot about the channel for a little while and recenty rediscovered. Love what i used to see back then, and I have loved all this more recent stuff too. Keep telling the story of Japanese culture. As an American who hasnt been able to leave north america, I find this channel very rewarding to watch. Thanks man.

This is part 2 of a planned 3 part series on Green Tea & Matcha 🍵 update: the next episode will come out later in 2023 😋🎉 PART 1: kzread.info/dash/bejne/onahtrCkiLKtmqQ.html

@@onlyinjapan No worries! Maybe once all the parts are done you can do a "director's cut" version of all of the parts combined (with whatever edits needed). I'm sure many of us will watch it again! I look forward to all your edited videos (lovely host with great videography!) since the livestreams aren't really my cup of tea most of the time.

It's amazing how much tea leaves they can produce with a big farm like that. Whenever I watch videos like this I'm always amazed at the hardwork and care they put into the entire thing (from growing to harvesting, etc.) so while I think the end product is pretty expensive, I can see exactly why.

I've recently discovered that Japanese Green Tea is so good with sweets, or as an alternative to coffee with breakfast. It cleanses your palate with every sip, making you appreciate also the flavors of your food. I enjoyed this episode! Will check out the rest of the series!

Sugoi! I didn't realize that the green tea processing was so complicated and that the tea taste depended so much on harvest date. This video is very informative! Excellent work!!!

When I make a cup of tea, I won't look at it the same way after seeing the process it goes through. I enjoy all the different kinds of green tea but like my genmaicha 😋🍵 Enjoyed this John 👍

LOVED THIS!! I love Japanese green tea and always try to enjoy a cup as often as possible. Hojicha being my favorite. Never thought about the precise details on how tea is cultivated and roasted. Thank you for sharing this video John!

SENCHA!!! My day to day choice of beverage. I love to try sencha from different growers and different grades. Now to see the process it goes through makes it even more special. Sadly, KZread doesn’t offer ‘Smell-O-Vision’ yet. The production quality of your videos, combined with the information content, makes me happy to watch them. Stunning aerials. I would love to see a supplement to this series focused on the production of the highest grades of teas…gyokuro.

The next episode on Matcha was film with tea grown under black tarps. You can imagine what kind that way 😂 should be a great follow up. I’ll release it at the end of January when Matcha flavored confections start coming out for spring 😋 I was going to make this a long episode on both, but it made more sense to separate them and add in more confections in the matcha one.

Thank you! I had a couple of small errors I’m with spelling - my previewers missed them too 😂 I was curious too which is why I made this one 🍵

I always get so excited whenever i see a new John Daub episode. And every time it makes me wanna travel to Japan even more! :D

I didn't know how to make green tea even japanese. Thank you for introducing it.

I usually drink green tea in the morning. I like the process of tasting the different Japanese teas.

This is exactly the type of John's content we all love.

I absolutely love the stringent discipline that so many Japanese things are produced with , we could sure use a little or a lot of that in the rest of the world! 🙏😎

That was such a superb video John. And the "tea-man" looked exactly as I expected him to look, except I might expected him to wear a strawhat instead of a baseball cap, but I guess he's just a very fashionable "tea-man". Great work on the video - top shelf quality. ^^ Best regards, Thomas

I really love green and matcha teas, thanks so much for this documentary video.

Hi John! I used to live in Shizuoka for more than 10 years. My neighbor runs a green tea company. I didn't know how fukamushi sencha is produced, so it was nice to learn the process by watching your video. There is a pretty little village called Ikegawa in Shikoku, which produces green tea. Also there is a very clear river in the area and you can enjoy kayaking. I enjoyed a cup of tea and a tea dessert at a nice cafe in front of the river and tea field. You must go there.

That farm monorail looks like it could be fun and relaxing 😀😌

Knowing now I’m allowed to enter Japan just makes me so happy

It's always amazing how much work and care goes into making green tea.

The number of people and the amount of time it can take to make something as "simple" as tea is astounding. Thanks for another great video.

It is so cool to see on how meticulous they are. This just proves their passion and their excellency. We are a coffee and tea drinker but not so sure if we ever tried their teas. The coffee that we drink usually comes from South America and Ethiopia. And teas are usually from Sri Lanka. We would love to try it. Hoping soon and also hoping to visit Japan!👌🏻

7:11 That vibrant green color is so gorgeous. The senchas I've bought and tried so far has mostly either been yellowish green or light green. I have not found a brand that looks as green as that, I need to find that brand. Bet that processing factory smells heavenly.

While your Japan GO! channel has it's charms and I like the livestreams I still prefer this due to it's polish and informative nature. I still wouldn't trade one for the other though. Thanks for your effort Mr. Daub.

Its amazing to see how much work goes into Green Tea, I much appreciate it more! Thanks John! Great work, drone shots look awesome

You covered the tea processing comprehensively from this video I now know something about green tea!

Wonderful mini-documentary! Adorable mini-monorail at 2:19 Quick answer to why roasted tea & genmaicha were created at 10:37

I was never a green tea/matcha guy, but I do find stuff like this fascinating

The "Tea Ceremony" and history of Japanese etiquette a 700 year tradition of cultural trade customs. Green tea has been involved with many nutritional investigations of science with human metabolism. This video demonstrates the industrial practice that quality experts can relate to process design across the industry. A very good job as touring assessment of the manufacturing plan and quality manufacturing. Good job John Daub!

Learned so much. From now on, I have a whole new level of appreciation when I enjoy Sencha! Looking forward to next episode

Thanks for another excellent video, never realized the process of making drinkable high quality green tea is this complicated! We really take for granted as end user on the final product we comsumed. Definitely would love an episode on hojicha!

Hey John. Thank you man I really liked this video. Also I love drinking Japanese green tea 👍🙂

What a beautiful and colorful green vlog. Love Green Tea and it's interesting to see all of the process, thank you!

I was on the Azores last month and Visited two green tea plants (as far as they claimed the only ones remaining in Europe) and they showed a "similar" but much simpler process also they kinda sorted out different sizes of leaves as they all had different aromas. So they had the young small leaves the middle and the old big leaves making 3 different kind of green tea as well as a 4th one with them mixed all together.

We think of green tea as being just dried leaves but there’s so much more to the process. Thanks for this video. And bonus, I learned that a 1 yen coin is 1g.

Just was in matcha museum (more like how it's made than history) in Nishio, nearby. Can't wait to the next episode !

Nice as always, it have been a while since i have watched your videos, i will catch up !!!

Thanks for this. I enjoyed learning more about how it's produced.

Funny I just checked to see, and the other Only In Japan channel put out a green tea video 2 weeks ago and it only has 7k views. This video has been out 3 hours and already has 2.5k views. From videography/editing to storytelling to informational content to personality you're absolutely killing them haha.

I never new there were different varieties of Green Tea, and how much went into. Fascinating.

Excellent and informative as always 👍

That was a great overview of the work to make green tea, very cool to see all the specialized equipment that they use. It was a little scary seeing the worker reach into the one machine that rolls around the dried leaves.

Its a great day when John drops a video!

Top notch and informative as usual. You can really see that effort has really been put in to making the video.
