China's OLDEST Tea Farm - Traditional Chinese Tea Production (Best Puer Tea) | EP29, S2

[@lv9657]

As a Chinese tea drinker, I value every sip of tea as every leaf was hand picked by the hardworking pickers & processed. The traditional houses in the village are generally well maintained & villagers earning decent money living a simple happy life. These villagers may not earned lots of money in what they do for a living but whether you are rich or not that rich or poor, good health & happiness is most important. China's have many minority tribes. Hardworking, harmony, peaceful, cooperation etc is the key. The Chinese government's efforts & the results in poverty eradication is very obvious. 🎉🎉🎉

[@willengel2458]

they have a roof over their head. whatever money they earn from their tea plants is for food and other necessities.

Thanks China for this gift it is number one in the world now !!! Great video my friend I really enjoy them all . Please keep up the great work !!

[@ron9465]

So many delicious teas in China and still produced in the traditional way. At a time of so much geopolitics and violence it's great to become immersed in your videos which bring us back to what life should be about. Every episode so well produced.

[@bertanelson8062]

Yes, what should be about & what it's REALLY ABOUT as most of the 8 billion of us are simply living our lives where we are.

[@Dogsnark]

You are the perfect guide to introduce Chinese life and culture to a western audience. I have enjoyed every one of your videos that I’ve seen. I’ll probably never have a chance to visit this vast country, but your videos are almost like being there!

[@yogirise2669]

WO AI HE CHA! 🎉❤

[@KamalBCMaldai]

Im from nepal🇳🇵🇳🇵 i like this chinese traditional video.

[@hong3170]

I still have a bit of tea my brother bought from one of those villages. It is very good pu'er tea.

[@Soul_Donkey]

Now I understand the origin of smoked pu erh tea!

[@Paristan01]

Thank you so much. The air in Yunnan was not good in March and April because there were so many fires in Lao and Northern Thailand because of land clearing. As you mentioned, this year there was not much rain so the poor farmers in Lao burned a lot of forest to grow cassava but some of the fires got big and nobody could control them.

[@yuzhang2339]

Lining in China, we drink tea every day, and my dad even drink tea with hot water in summer, while I love to combine tea with fruits or milk at home. We live in easten China, thus we seldom drink Puer, my dad buys both ordinary and expensive tea like Longjing, Tieguanyin, Maojian. Several years someone gifted my dad a little bit of very expensive Puer tea. Honestly they are quite good.

[@mr.anta_an5919]

Such a beautiful country and beautiful people 😊

[@hanmi1216]

The village is similar to Liu yifei's latest drama. Very beautiful...

[@geraldmiller5260]

Your videos are the shining beacons above the murky waters of many videos on You Tube!

[@davidescozzi9885]

I have been drinking Pu'er tea since a while, and I do love it, amazing fragrant smells, incredible aromas, comparable to wine, just like choosing the different years, locations, and it is a wonderful beneficial element. I am fond on the Chinese Culture in general, and I do appreciate a good cup of wonderful tea. I am Italian, and I used to drink coffee, in Italy it's like a religion, but since over more then a decade, I gave up, and I drink green tea, kukicha, Roibos, but Pu ' Er it's my latest enjoyment. Very nice video Yan, you are lovely.

[@miltonnoguchi4956]

Puh-Erh Teas go WAY BACK to the "Ancient Horse Trail" between China and Tibet, where Horses and Tea were Traded, as the Chinese needed the Strong Tibet Horses, and the Tibetians needed the Nutrients in Tea for their Good Health, because Tibet is too cold to grow any Plants, there are NONE, but Tea has all the Vitamins and Minerals the Human Body needs to maintain Good Health. It was a very Dangerous Trip, that could take a long time, so ordinary Teas would never make it without Risk of Spoiling. That is how Puh-Erh Teas really came into Good Service, by NOT Spoiling during a Long Trip, with exposure to Oxygen, because they are Fermented, and Not Oxydized, PLUS, Puh-Erh Teas are the only Tea that actually gets "better" with Age! Raw Puh-Erh Teas aren't really ready to drink, until they are at least 5 years old after being processed and pressed into "Cakes", and really good ones only start to get Really Better after 20 years. There are Puh-Erh Tea Cakes over 100 years old! Imagine what that one must be like!!!??? Plus, the Prices go UP with the Older Puh-Erh Tea Cakes too. It's not unusual for the Really Old Cakes to be in the Thousands of Dollars!!! Just make sure it was properly Stored in a Cool and Dry Storage. All the other 5 Tea Types are Oxydized, and degrade over Time, with any exposure to Oxygen and/or Moisture. Not Puh-Erh. And, most people like the Taste, Flavor, and Aroma of Puh-Erh Tea, PLUS, you can Reinfuse it many times, just by adding more Hot Water, and increasing the Brewing Time by another 30 seconds, per additional Brew. Good Puh-Erh Teas can be Reinfused 10 to 12 times, and the Newly Emerging Flavor and Aroma, changes with each Brew!!! So, that's another Big Benefit of Puh-Erh Teas. Oh, and in case you did not know, one advantage that ALL Teas have over Coffee, is you will become Relaxed, your Heart Rate will Drop, and you will Enter into a State of Peace and Restfulness, while at the same time your Brain will go into High Alert. Both Coffee and Tea have Caffeine, but only Tea's have 2 more things that Coffee does not... L-Theanine amino acids, AND Catchin Anti-Oxydation Compounds, which gives you that Restful and Relaxed feeling. Great for either a Morning, and/or Afternoon Break.

[@pixelfu623]

I appreciate the fact that the tea can be grown whilst conserving the forest as well. Such a lovely mix of the two. The scenery is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@AmyBrueckman]

I''m a big tea drinker so I was eagerly awaiting this episode! I live in a Vietnamese and Chinese neighborhood of my city so I will have to pick up some pu'er tea next time I'm at the store. Thank you so much for visiting these areas and sharing these stories with us!

[@kasemsanthongsawan]

My liking is Pu’er Tea with Glutinous Rice Mellow. I really loved this episode. The sunset view was stunning.

[@markscott262]

Yan, your best vlog yet, I really enjoy the depth of your stories. You just don’t take the postcard photos, keep it up

[@eugenesetiawan1606]

I love your show. I am an analyst. I worked in Food Safety Lab. I analyst foods and sometimes I test tea for heavy metals. WOW now I know how tea is made.

[@haidalu3198]

15:34 杀青的同时伴着日落 好美的画面❤❤

[@francokwok1667]

Yan, definitely I enjoy your video. First video to watch on early Saturday morning, after a week long stock trading into late New York markets. First time for me to learn so much about tea, mind you I came from a culture rich in tea, Chaozhou ren. Tell you about what I learnt from my secondary school teacher, about 50 years back, and he taught me geography. To begin with, he told us that there were two types of tea, namely red and green (you mentioned here also the white one). They were all from one species, not separately for red and green. The difference came from fermentation. The West, or the English to be precise, were impatient with fermentation, as a result, their tea were acidic and bitter, and this explained why the English drank tea with milk - scratch my head, our brethren Tibetans and Mongolians also drink tea with cream. And the Chinese simply drank tea from boiling water, water is neutral in acidity from my chemistry knowledge. This knowledgeable teacher then went on to say, please do not rub politics into what I am going to tell you, that tea, coffee and cocoa and a lot of agricultural produces were produced in the third world countries (poor countries, the way I understood then), but consumed by the first world countries (rich countries). In a way, the riches lived upon the poors. My teacher indeed was a leftist. I started off as a rightist, influenced by my Chiinese teacher from Taiwan (RoC), teaching me in Laos, and this geography teacher taught me in Hong Kong. Somehow, I have the best of both worlds, and this makes me a better person, a liberal (living on trading stocks, a capitalist?). So much so, joke aside. Drinking tea from boiling water in a small cup, from small teapot, in a way a good tea ceremony - I was always the last one to have the cup, as I was young, no ranks. That reminds me of the French, who drink coffee from very small and delicate cup too. My wife then introduced me to English tea, not exactly so, it is indeed Ceylong tea, and I must give the people of Ceylong or Sri Lanka, the credit of cutting tea leaf into pieces and packing them into small cloth bag, this way more efficient, convenient and less trouble, and the pieces definitely diffuse more tea flavour. My understanding of tea may be from the mouth of my geography teacher, or from articles and books here and there I read, and from today I see the real way of preparing tea. Just feeling a bit not yet satisfied, as you have not introduced the tea ceremony, that is how tea is being served and drank, and also in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. A lot for me to learn indeed. Just a word of caution, please discount much what I have written here, as they might not be right and correct.

[@willengel2458]

the Brits smuggled tea plants out of China and then setup plantation in India and Ceylon/Sri Lanka. have you noticed that there is not a whole single leaf in the tea bag? teabag is similar to instant coffee. good quality Chinese teas never come in tea bags.

[@alexandriathe_great221]

If I was the Chinese president, I would give you a big trophy 🏆 love from Egypt ❤

[@nicholasc700]

This is rather interesting & educational. Nowadays machinery has taken over tea processing but one thing never change...it is still picked by hand! Tea is so traditional & valuable that it is given as a treasured gifts in ancient China by Emperors & Kings even up to the present time.

[@marjoriepark1198]

Thanks again Granddaughter. Lovely people, hard working warm and hospitable. Willing to share their lives with you and then with all of us. Always look forward to our next adventure. Great drone footage, lovely sunset on soft foggy mountains. Thanks for sharing. Marjorie from Georgia US Safe journey til next time.🌻

[@akiensio425]

Thank you very much for this viewing experience. It's so easy to follow your conversations... first I can read it in the captions and then you tell me in English what you said. A non-fluent English speaker like me can easily keep up. 👍

[@kyliex6310]

Thanks for promoting their tea brand. Do they have a TaoBao store that I can look for? I searched with 景迈山茶 as keyword and found plenty, but want to make sure it is the one related to their village business. Thanks!

[@rambutans5857]

Same here. I would love to support their product.

[@HonChang-nk1vz]

Thank You Yan for the Tea journey....I have a better appreciation of the teas from China that I have collected....TQ

[@willchu]

Awesome video! our family 's pu'er tea collection contain about 5 dozens in Canada, aged between 5 to 50 years old, pricing up to 5000USD per cake. Every time we go back to China we are gifted a lot of pu'er. Nice to see how they are grown, processed, and aged. 🔥🔥

[@Aninayang889]

As a tea farmers's daughter, I am surprised that tea price is insanely high out there. Everytime I leave home, my mom always packs a big bag of tea in my luggage, I can never drink that much, I share with my classmates, friends and now my colleagues.

[@sidneysoon2745]

If I knew they were so expensive, I would have stored itm

[@mancha2285]

love your travels and this about tea leaves is awesome, Thanks ! *** Tom

[@alimay1011]

Those villagers are so heartful and hardworking. I really admire them and want to try their tea!

[@fxrivrgirl]

Respect them for the hard work their tradition and wanting to live rurally. I so understand. Is without many amenities many of us take for granted daily.

[@juliemcmurtrie2713]

That was my first time seeing how tea is grown and processed 😋👍🌸 thank you 😁 I'm watching from NewZealand 🌸

[@littlechineseeverywhere]

thanks！

[@ca2ca]

So I cached up the last video and watched it with my ritual two cups of morning tea. It's amazing to see natural way of making tea. Lots of hard work. Now I live in another famous tea country Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and here tea is made mostly in big factories. Thanks Yan for giving impulse of rural Chinese life and its people. Really enjoyed your video from Zürich down to Yunnan. Also I would like to see a video of happy young children in Kindergarten or in a primary school. Do they learn Mandarin or in their local dialect ? Vielen vielen Dank 🙂

[@littlechineseeverywhere]

They mainly learn both. Schools are in mandarin usually but the dialect is widely spoken be the society in those areas

[@willengel2458]

the Brits smuggled tea plants out of China and setup plantations in India and Ceylon/Sri Lanka. then it spread to else where. i actually have tea cup, more like a small bowl from Han Dynasty, around 2'000 years ago.

[@James-lu6rh]

Another very interesting video Yan. Love the drone shots of the village. The houses seem to be built randomly which makes for picturesque winding streets. As usual outstanding production.

[@kl9518]

Hi Yan always like your drone shots & music it's so soothing...hope you can show it a bit longer

[@janmariolle]

I am so excited to discover this video! I am a new subscriber and was going to ask if you have explored tea making areas. I am so impressed by the hard work and patience, ingenuity and consistency required to produce quality tea. If I ever have a chance to travel, I would love to visit the people growing and producing tea, if just to say, thank you.

[@kapochi007]

Hello Yan. It's quite the thing to see tea hand made in this way today. Makes it really that much more to be appreciated.

[@katiecoollady]

You are so polite and kind; people open up and share with you.

[@SerpenTRyder]

This video is a gem for tea lovers, especially those that are into Pu Erh. Thank you for making it.

[@goteyescansee]

great video as always , thanks Yan!🙏 10:45 looks like an orchid plant. Orchids are epiphytes like moss and ferns, they attach to the suface of bigger plants but do not invade the hosts, so they are not parasitic.☺️

Nice video tea is also very popular in india, our neighbouring state assam is one of largest producer of tea, we also say tea as 'cha,' as initially it was introduced from china.

[@jJustPlayingNZ]

On my small farmlet that I had earlier in my life I had camellia sinensis bushes in the garden. I tried making tea from these but of course this was before the internet. My tea was made by just boiling the leaves. It was not too bad. If I had seen this video I would have made a better job of it 😄 As usual it is a lot more complicated than you think. Thank you again very interesting.
