I remember not more than three weeks ago, I asked one of my good friends to come to my home and share some high quality Korean woojeon green tea that I had brought back from the country a month prior. I set out 10g of it and brewed it in a hand-made Korean teapot of 300ml using the gong fu style. I set out some light snacks like walnuts and almonds and we drank for 2 hours. We had approximately 2 litres worth of gorgeous green tea and throughout the experience we felt more and more giggly. We discussed our lives, our pasts and our hopes in a delightfully light hearted and joyful way, springing to random laughter. It was a beautiful and sweet bonding experience, and ever since then I've felt a stronger connection with that friend. Safe to say, being tea drunk was a wonderful experience.

I've had similar experiences with a 12 year old pu-erh and then once before that when I decided to have two chawan fulls of high quality matcha, both on my own. However I still love that shared experience with my friend. It was the first time he had ever tried proper loose leaf tea and I think I sparked a love for them in him!

My brother and I accidentally stumbled in to tea drunkenness one fine afternoon when we happened upon a local tea room. We ordered several pots of different kinds of tea, enjoyed deep conversations and silly happiness, had trouble stumbling around, and were pleasantly surprised this is a thing. It was really the last "childhood" bro-to-bro bonding we had before college, etc, and the tea room closed soon after. It was in rural Northern CA where nobody knows much about tea and there are no tea rooms. Ever since then we're fond of explaining to people that it's possible to get "tea drunk" (never heard another person call it that til just now), and it's a very fond memory. It's honestly among the more positive, memorable experiences of my entire upbringing. Thank you for explaining more about it!!!

Since I dont drink alcohol, I find my buzz in matcha. Gives me the nice, laid back "chillout" feeling. And the best part is that it completely wipes away my anxiety. So to all of you that are struggeling with anxiety, i suggest you try out some matcha. It might help take away the anxiety :)

This was definitely the most logical and scientific video I've seen on tea drunkenness so far. Digging into some of the literature, it appears that catechin concentrations peak at around 2 hours after tea consumption according to Pietta et al. (1998). Both from personal experience and other accounts, the psychoactive effects from tea appear to peak much sooner. I believe this and the low bioavailability and low stability of catechins (somewhere around ~1% of the ingested dose being available according to Chow et al. 2001) makes catechins an unlikely source of tea drunkenness. Interestingly, a study done on the concentrations of catechins and amino acids in white tea found that gallic acid increases in concentration with age while caffeine and catechins decreased in concentration with age. Catechin gallate concentrations in white tea appear to peak when they're fresh, while three year old white tea had the lowest concentration and 20-year old tea had a substantial concentration, but not as much as the fresh tea (Ning et al. 2016). Even more interestingly, Gong Mei white tea had the highest theanine and overall amino acid concentration compared to Shou Mei, Baihao Yinzhen, and Bai Mudan; a very interesting result. With this in mind, I would tend to think that Gong Mei might be more promising as a candidate for aging compared to tippier Baihao Yinzhen and Bai Mudan if the goal is to produce an aged tea with maximum psychoactive properties, even if I can't really use available scientific literature to explain why Gong Mei would be more psychoactive as an aged tea rather than a young tea in the first place. With regards to arguably the most promising potential psychoactive compound, theanine, I wasn't able to find much with regards to psychoactive properties. Neglecting this, the time lag between ingestion and the initial feeling of the psychoactive effects lines up fairly well with a study by Scheid et al (2012), as the time between ingestion and maximum concentration of L-theanine was determined to be 48 minutes. It would be interesting to conduct an informal experiment to cross-reference the time of maximum psychoactive effect with this maximum L-theanine concentration timepoint.

The first time I felt the sensation of tea Drunkness was at the Northwest Tea Festival a few years back. It was my first time, I was vastly underprepared for the amount of tea samples and walking I would be doing. I didnt bring any food, I was sampling teas from various vendors and about an hour in, I felt a headrush, my body relaxed yet I still felt alert, almost a bit loopy and a touch nauseous, since I have been drinking caffeinated teas on an empty stomach. The following years I went, I was more prepared: I brought crackers and jerky, took rest periods between rows of samples and vendors. Everyone in awhile though, I try to get tea drunk at home.

a couple of months ago i tried tea and felt some drunkness, since then i have been caught up with its properties, I am really glad I found this video, I love how you passionately talk about it! congrats

Hi Don and Celine! I've been binge watching your videos for a week and I'm hooked! I have a small tea house in mexico and I learned a lot watching you. I've been tea drunk a few times and it's amazing, sometimes I get a little bit dizzy and sometimes It's more of a relaxing experience. Thanks for making this videos and share your knowledge and passion for tea. Cyn.

Y'all are the only ones on here that truly teach us. Thank you so much

Thank you for this demonstration.While I've definitely felt the effects of cha Zui, I didn't know which tea qualities were causing this. I first felt the effects of Cha Zui at a tea shop that opened near my home. I found that the tea I I drank took me to a whole new level of depth and intensity in the conversations I had with my friends. There where I completely lost track of time and what felt like an hour long conversation was actually 8 hours or more. It made me understand more why zen temples have a tea hour. Unfortunately, here in the west, great tea is not readily available unless you look for it specifically. My experience at the tea shop has peaked my interest in the mystery of tea. It is an ancient and amazing tradition.

I get the happy tea feeling from a white tea at my local teahouse. It's called Bai Mu Dan. The cultivar looks like one bud and one leaf combos. It does have a slight honey note to the flavor. Love it.

Hi guys, you have been magnificent in giving me lots of new information, while i am a pharmacist, i have been taught something new, i love to get tea drunk and hopefully to get a sample, michael

Sounds amazing! Love when you say what is and is not science based. Great video. I have been tea drunk on hand tied jasmine green and it was a perfect social activity. No phones, no TV, yes tea!

I am allergic to alcohol so I cannot get drunk if I wished, but with tea, that would be an experience. I've only just got me first gungfu tea set as a gift, and had me first gungfu Oolong tea tonight, and it was the best tea I've had drank ever since. Now after watching this, I have to get Tea drunk !! I'm on a mission to find that white aged tea. 😊

The most tea drunk I've ever felt was from an aged, cooked Pu Erh I used to buy. If I re-infused it a lot I'd notice a heady, spacial perception-change effect coming on, which totally took me by surprise. It was definitely a different experience to younger teas I'd tried, and didn't feel like the effect of the oft mentioned caffeine , theanine etc. I wonder what compounds cause this effect.

I've always been more of a tea person than a coffee person, but it wasn't until recently that I started getting serious about tea. Your videos are a great beginning into what I feel will be a great lifelong journey. As for being tea drunk, I think the closest thing for me was drinking a lot of the green / black teas that I have, just trying to get a handle of the taste. Into about my fourth cup, I was beginning to feel particularly jittery, almost hitting a caffeine type of high. It was a very pleasant feeling, almost euphoric, almost to the point where I could just sit around and feel good. Thanks for the awesome channel! I've been able to learn a lot more from just a few of your videos than I have been from aimlessly buying teas that smelled nice. It'd be cool to one day meet you and have some tea in person!

Hello guys, I usually drink aged Pu’er tea and sometimes oolongs or Teh gwan yin teas as I’ve been told that older folk shouldn’t drink sheng or raw teas or green teas. So last Sunday I came to visit at Mei-Leaf, met Celine and was fortunate to try the Pendulum Meddler and was blown away. I was so agitated by the tea that I couldn’t sit still and had real difficulty in deciding to buy all that was available in the shop that Sunday because i could not focus my thoughts. It’s the first time I’ve felt “high” on tea and I’m really glad that I decided to buy the tong plus the single cake of the Pendulum Meddler. I’m now back in Singapore getting high on it and enjoying every moment. Thanks again for all the work in putting together this fabulous tea blend.

I have to agree that minerality is key to having a pleasant tea drunk feeling. My best experience was with a lao shu, which had a very animal and countryside like flavour to it at first, but then it started to release a lot of stoney, earthy and mineral flavour. One of the best teas I've tasted.

On the weekends, when I have the house to myself, I like to sit down with the tea table before breakfast and do a long session in front of the open balcony door. It allows me to hear the sounds from outside, and it's usually a very nice time. Today I received a cake of 2011 Jing Gu raw pu erh from Yunnan Sourcing. I sat down with the tea table, and three cups of that out of my 100 ml gaiwan sent me flying.

Try the Young Gu Shu or the yellow tea (Amber Mountain).

I experienced tea high first time few days ago after buying organic Gyokuro (Gyokuro Tokiwa). After many strong brews I felt like being a bit high. I was like "what is this, Im high on tea?" and had to google it. Im kinda new to teas. Here in scandinavia/northern europe theres not so strong tea culture. "Tea" means basicly putting some supermarket teabag into boiling water. But I got excited about teas when decided to quit daily coffee consumption. Now here I am, learning, buying my first kyusu soon. Started from Japanese teas and slowly getting into chinese ones too. World and spirit of tea has really captured my attention and passion!

I've been drinking tea for years, blacks mainly, and never got tea drunk until a couple of months ago. I was having a beautiful silver tip mao feng while looking at the drawings of the great Indian artist Nasreen Mohamedi. They're abstract and look like they're happening in outer space. I drank more than I usually do and somehow convinced myself that I could do something equally amazing. I dug out my art supplies and realized, inside of half an hour, that it wasn't going to happen. What I couldn't understand, hours later, was why I ever thought I could.

Hahaha lovely image of switching a burgundy for some Sacred Owl. The feeling of a cooked PuErh is quite different to a raw but it certainly has an effect albeit a more mellow and calm feeling for us.

I felt this way when I made green tea. Then used the green tea instead of water to blend a High grade matcha. It was delicious but I did know the feeling was called tea drunk. My family still likes me to make it for them.

Omgosshh! I love your videos. I always learn so much. I enjoy your passion and the fun that you have. I don't drink alcohol because I am in ketosis(high fat low carb lifestyle) This would be so much fun to share with a friend. Thank you for sharing. JOY :)

I've never ever been drunk in my entire life. I've been sleep drunk once and that was quite funny. So I'd like to see if Tea Drunk is as much fun as that. And if being drunk is as much fun as people say without the hangover! I am a real tea lover but your You Tube channel makes me feel I becoming more and more of an expert. Thank you for sharing and I am definitely spreading the word and trying to convince everyone that being a Tea Head is fantastic! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to see more videos!

THANK YOU for spreading the word - we all need a bit more tea in our lives.

I had no idea tea could have this effect! I will try it for sure, if I'm lucky with the one you send me.

This tea sounds delicious.

Thankyou I will be placing an order shortly 😆

Well, I have had the honor to also have a share virtual Tea sessions with Don, Young Gushu and White Tea "Jade Star", and OH MY!!! I can assure not only those teas are powerful, but the most complex and nicest teas I have had so far. I felt instantly in LOVE with them!!! So Don, when we're going to distantly get 'drunk' again! Bright blessings and hugs to all at Chinalife from Puerto Rico!

Great sessions! Name a date and we can organise another one with a fresh tea!

You are the cutest couple ever!

Amazing I can’t wait to try. Why didn’t Celine filtered her tea like you did Don ?

I need a set and tea :)

a big fan..i have never been tea drunk but would love to cause i like to explore...i always try different types and variety of drinks and try to learn about them..would love to get some aged white...

I think I need to get into my ancestry more and pick up some more PuErh. And then find a tea loving friend to get similarly tea drunk with so that I can one day also smoothly say "I won't touch your lovely gushu" (at 11:33) haha. You're both great and I can't believe I hadn't found your channel before! Been really into matcha for the last several years, but only went for gong fu style tea once.
