[@Gloriosus]

Very interesting. Yes, please show us how to brew the different types of tea.

[@jwibwwii]

I'm honored to do this. Teach you how to taste delicious tea better. But how do I contact you?

[@Gloriosus]

@@jwibwwii I'm hoping that Ally will show us in another of her excellent videos.

[@jwibwwii]

@@Gloriosus Of course, I believe it can be done. Chinese tea culture has a history of 5,000 years. It’s not something you can understand just by watching the video, it’s difficult

[@QuikVidGuy]

I've been thinking about really specific situations. Like, if I'm pouring the water directly into the cup, should I do it a little bit at a time as a sort of temperature control for the leaves? Can I steep tea in non-water liquids? Will eating the leaves dry give me extra caffeine?

[@ninoding]

I’m certainly not the one you asked but a gaiwan (lidded cup) or a teapot are the most commonly used. The same method can be used for all tea types, the only thing that you would change is the temperature of the water.

[@qwp1026]

I once took a bunch of tea leaves off my grandpa's shelf, put them in my tumbler and then poured hot water into it. The leaves are thin blade like, and the brew was light green / lime color. It tastes slightly sweet, sort of like 甘甜 (dry sweetness). The after taste lingers on the side of my cheeks and inside my mouth. My grandpa found out and wasn't angry at me, but was happy that I actually liked it. He told me it was something something long jing tea.

I used to work at a loose leaf tea store about 10 years ago and I've been in love with loose leaf ever since. At the store we were told brewing tea in a cast iron tea pot was the best way. I'm so glad I've learned so much since then! I really love the time and intention it takes to brew tea in a gaiwan instead. Learning to control water temperature and delicate methods of brewing is fascinating. I'd love to see more on that from you :)

[@Tai-1137]

this education is genuinely valuabe, thank you Truly SO MUCCHH

[@Luna-ii4mx]

Thanks for this, I drink alot fo tea, I love tea. Id love to learn more.

[@zhongyingjun_cn]

I always preferred Chinese tea over regular tea. Both the aroma and taste soothe you down in an instant, it's like a magical potion 😂

[@jwibwwii]

Strongly Agree. I drink a lot of tea from all over the world. But the only things that make me feel comfortable are Chinese food and Argentinian yerba mate. When I show Chinese tea culture to my friends. They were all very shocked and told me that there are so many manners and etiquette in drinking tea.

[@notsharingwithyoutube]

I like Russian Caravan and English Breakfast.

[@KenJackson_US]

What is _"regular tea"?_

[@krakowian]

I love this video. In such short time you explain the most important part. Great job. I love Chinese tea and to perform gongfu ceremony for my friends.

[@corentinbignossi572]

Thank you for this beautiful video and good presentation 🙏🏻✨

[@kenzihenderson5258]

YES! More tea please

[@coreyoverbury3118]

More tea content please!

[@via3031]

I would love to watch and learn how to brew tea! Thank you for the information video. You love so lovely in your hanfu ✨️🌸✨️🌸✨️🌸✨️

[@fantasticchina4341]

When it comes to the oxidation and fermentation of different teas, it reminds me of different kinds of wine! The ancients of the East and the West really shared the same approach to processing natural crops.

[@cimarrion1]

Great intro to tea, and I absolutely love what you're wearing! Is that garment made of linen?

[@jwibwwii]

Yes. That is traditional Chinese clothing. There are also traditional costumes for men. You can also check it out. I bet this costume will give you a great new experience.

[@teavault3881]

Great video!

[@nabila1379]

Saving this for future reference. Thanks for the useful video! 😄

[@GummyBear.B6]

So good video

[@hassantalibi4803]

A big thank you for this wonderful video!

[@oceancream9071]

Love to learn more about tea! 🫖

[@jwibwwii]

The knowledge of Chinese tea culture is very rich, and you can learn about it slowly. I have some great tea culture videos in my collection. If you really like it, I can share it with you.

[@dogforever4]

I’d love to see a demo of a traditional Chinese tea ceremony 🫖

[@jwibwwii]

How can I show it to you? If you don't mind, you can tell me the contact information. I am more than happy to share with you about Chinese tea culture.

[@TheCodeTinkerer]

Damn that was a short and informative overhead of tea types especially white tea I can see has a misconception in Europa about brewing temperatur, which usually states only 80* celcius.

[@zhouziwen8370]

I am very interested in the proper way to brew tea. ☯️

[@jwibwwii]

We can communicate and I would love to be able to share Chinese tea culture. Share with international friends.

[@higashirinchiah1013]

Would be nice to add on the difference between English tea and Chinese tea next 😀

[@jwibwwii]

What's the difference between telling them? In my opinion, the biggest difference is in tea culture. Because Chinese tea mainly focuses on etiquette.

[@higashirinchiah1013]

@@jwibwwii English tea is prepared with highly oxidized teadust and good quality Chinese tea are unbroken whole leaves. The level of oxidisation, roasting, cuttings is how to create a large nomenclature of tea varieties

[@jwibwwii]

@@higashirinchiah1013 I also live in the UK. But I rarely drink UK tea. Usually when friends come to my home, I will serve them with Chinese tea from my collection. I will also teach them the etiquette of drinking Chinese tea. If you have time, you can come to my business or home, and I will let you experience the Chinese tea culture personally.

[@higashirinchiah1013]

@@jwibwwii I used to stay there for a bit. I do enjoy UK's afternoon tea and the etiquette that comes with it with the tea and snacks. You might see that as a norm there but it is fascinating for Asians 🤣. I have my Chinese Kung Fu tea sets that I might use for my good Chinese tea leaves. Otherwise my cheap Chinese tea leaves, I will prepare them unceremoniously 🤣

[@jwibwwii]

@@higashirinchiah1013 Whenever a good friend comes to the company or home as a guest, we will bring out good tea and taste it together, no matter in the morning, noon or evening. This is the greatest respect for guests. Friendship is obviously more expensive than tea

[@emitought97]

I like black indian tea with milk and sugar, but green and oolong plain.

[@williambo5989]

i like coffee tea

[@jessicag630]

What is that? I have never heard of that.

[@TheCynthiaRice]

Oolong from Fijian is the best tea.

[@jwibwwii]

The characteristics of each tea are different. They are all great. White tea is my favorite. You might want to give it a try.

[@kevinsim1514]

But why are some soups called as tea? Like 肉骨茶？

[@Linkwii64]

I'm here because of those beautiful clothes.

[@TintagelEmrys]

I understand wanting to use more western names for things, but it gets confusing when you refer to two different types of tea as "black tea." If you were gonna call fully oxidized, non-fermented tea black, I would have just stuck to saying Pu-Er. That said, great video

[@archibald6360]

Or ripe pu erh, or even post-fermented dark tea (hei cha) The term red tea suits best in terms of fully oxidized tea
