Have you a link to the Tea Tray featured in this film?
Im using cloth bags and have my morning afternoon and night teas all loose herbs from my local herbal shop, is that the same as what your talking about, the only reason I do this is because of convenience
Dude! Nice shirt! Where did you get it?
Beautiful video. I think we definitely forget to slow down and find inner peace and contentment in our fast paced world. I think I’ll go brew up some Sakura Sencha now.😌 🍵
You should’ve filmed yourself at a party. That would be cool.
Why is it banned in the UK?
Sending prayers. 🙏
This doesn't make sense. The Pu Boys are not in attendance and this is their specialist area. They have been promoted as the experts so we should have their take on the tea and benefit from their PuErh knowledge. The Pu Boys themselves must be really upset.
Just put in an order. Hope every little bit helps!
Please advise where can I purchase items from this factory on-line?
I dont quite agreed on longer brewing time as it can makes it astringent and bitter which most westerners makes their tea that way! the bitterness and astringent often hide the original essence of the tea which should be smooth, fragrant, increase the saliva and bring out the fruitiness or floral of the tea leaves.
there is no rules in making tea esp , all you need is to understand the tea, experiment with it, and making changes to the water temperature and amount of tea leaves by learning as you go, one tips to consider if you are not very professional or knowledgeable about brewing tea 1) lesser tea leaves are often better than too much 2) 100 degree boiling water is always better than lower temperature 3) lesser sipping time is often better than over sipping as it can usually makes the tea bitter and astringent. experiment as you go!
I think Japanese green tea like most Japanese things are "over think" and "over control' and "over manipulated" and looses its uniqueness, the chinese green tea retained a lot of its natural flavor and colors and original flavor. no-one take their tea as serious as the chinese.
I am a Japanese tea fanatic living and working in Shanghai for the last 20 years and I have to say you are one of the very few "westerners" who really make an effort to the original destination to pay respect to these beautiful teas, well done !
living and working in china and a tea fanatic I have tasted all sort of chinese tea. recently a trip in Japan I have tested for the first time Japanese black tea but I have to say the Japanese black tea are very similar to Indiana European very strong in flavor which has their very own unique feature whereas the chinese one are extremely smooth and fragrant, unfortunately I have to pick the chinese black tea over the Japanese one. the chinese method of making yea is also more refine and the sipping time is a lot lesser thus giving it a smoother and less astringent and bitterness. the chinese also use extremely old tea trees or wild, semi wild tea tree which goes their tea a lot more Energy or the QI. the chinese have been making tea for thousands of years and they they definitely know how to make the best tea in the world and still is. sorry to say that the many chinese tea I have tasted in Europe and around in world are not the best quality, most are just average quality sold at unreasonable price.
This was a pure comedy :D we need more of this. And your sister is awesome. As for giving personality to a tea .... I have a Da hong pao premium and that one is a caring grandmother, she makes sure you are fed and warm and healthy and all her words are like warm hugs.
How about really tight, hard-pressed bricks?

The smokier, the better in my opinion. I don’t mind the non-smoked ones, but if a Lapsung says it is smoked, it better be smoked to the point of having a tar flavour!
Your tasting notes are still second to none! Lovely tea here
Greetings,
Prayers for Aiyana & loved ones.
OH yesssss!!!! HAD to order this one and I was out of Matcha and it’s on sale!!!😁🥰
Those tasting notes are right up my alley, and I love a good aged sheng. I'll be picking this one up for sure!
Bro you are high. Giving thanks.
The realism on that iguana is superhuman. I hope all is well with Aiyana.
Will you be selling those dark wood inspection trays? I like the look of that one and also nice to inspect darker leaves on it, not too much contrast like with lighter wood trays
Ordered. Thanks, Don and Celine, for keeping us supplied with the good stuff. I also threw in some 2024 young gushu with my order.
The Big Ones really have that life journey vibe this year: First Joy Rider - which incidentally bowled me over in quite a similar way - then Jade Star 8, the mystical pathway - and now a heavy hitting Midnight Oracle! (which you can reach by way of a Moonbeam no less). Not to forget the artist under the Angel's Trumpets, digesting and recreating their experience of life. I sense a story here. - Thank you, Don, for taking the trouble to come up with these treasures and for presenting them in a way that helps to appreciate them. - As always, I wish you, that Ayana's, and consequently yours and Celine's, pathway in life will take an upswing soon! ❤
Too much tea? Impossible...
The artwork is 🔥! Wonderful!
Don, Thank you for adding so much excitement to life with your exceptional tea selections and Celine’s incredible artwork. I hope everything is going well with Aiyana. Cheers! 🫖
I just want to say thank you so much. I recently got the Gaiwan Solo, with the 3 sample white selection, and its amazing! All the little things make such a difference too, like the temperature, and even the water. Now i wonder what to try next, maybe the green samples
Was it samurai champloo?
Rango? 🦎
Ordered it yesterday =) In Germany we have a TV series which is inspired by the British "The Office" it's called "Stromberg". It's the surname of the main character and the nickname for him is not Toad but "Lurchi" and "Lurch" means salamander / amphibian in German. My thoughts are with you and your family. Hope, that all of you are able to cope the situation well. <3
Can't wait to receive my order :) loveeeee the artwork.
More sheng? Count me in! I hope Aiyana is improving healthwise. Sending light and love your way.
Celine outdid herself with that artwork. Absolutely beautiful.
It's beautiful. Bless all you do. Bless people around you 🙏🌱
How do you keep your teeth so white drinking all that tea?
I bought PuErh once, smelled like a can of mackerel in tomatoe sauce, I threw it out... I don't want fish smell tea 🤨
Got my sampler coming 👍🏽
All these kettles on Amazon have 7% or more failure rate be it cheap or expensive. They're all made in China from similar parts bins , and thrown into different body styles. Some over others seem to be more leak prone. IMO , pick whatever you like , cheap or expensive.......sooner or later you'll be replacing it. Likely sooner. In all fairness , the OXO appears to rate better and less negatives.
Hello, you know so much about tea. Why not directly sell good tea? I am in the tea business, and our family does wholesale. Would you be interested in collaborating with me?
True. I have basked same size as a my cup so it’s pretty much loose. I must admit it’s easier than using the gaiwan
Freezing water doesn’t make it weigh less 😮
I hope Aiyana is doing better. Sending over prayers and love.
Hi Don. I wish all the best for your beautiful daughter and your family. Take care
