Tea: The Story of a Leaf - Episode 2 - The Road’s End

[@loriandrade5759]

This documentary gives us a foundation of the various teas. It helps us appreciate the hard work of the people that deeply value tea, and truly understand the Spirit that carries tea's well being. Their walks to get tea is such a journey. It's just beautiful andI appreciate the origins of tea so much more because of this!

I felt personally invested in that competition, and it adds a sense of reality when he comes in second

This is excellent, thanks for sharing, and helping Chinese to learn Teaglish(Tea Art in English) too.

Something is off with the audio of this episode... It's echoing...

[@oat_mew]

They probably added reverb to make it sound more weird/foreign. The sound is really annoying. Why not just have the normal audio

[@oat_mew]

Or maybe they tried to put it in one spot and accidentally had it be for the whole thing

[@Nemo_Anom]

I still wonder, though. Are non-tea beverages really considered to be tea? In the West, they are typically considered to be "tisanes" or "herbal tea" if there is no tea actually in the brew.

[@ChrisPowell-MerleApAmber]

For us Westerners who are not brought up in the traditions of the local regions, we'll continue to need a separation of the three definitions: tea, tisanes, and medicinal brews. It will not make a bit of difference to those people who have grown up and have had hundreds, if not thousands, of years of history. But for us, it'll give us a sense of the definition and, on certain occasions, especially with the tea, their provenance on Earth.

[@leafster1337]

i wonder wholl produce such esoteric teas in the future, or even if the knowledge and techniques of their production and use is preserved

[@ChrisPowell-MerleApAmber]

As with wines in the Americas and Europe, Families of growers and pickers today will continue the traditions of their forefathers, especially if it's cost-efficient to give them a good standard of living as wineries did for us.

Worm poo tea.. I want a cup. So long as it's called "castings" it's not so cringe.

[@lorenrenee1]

Caterpillar poo is called ‘frass’ if that makes it easier.
