How Black Tea is made and processed in the USA

[@samuelloftin3166]

This video came up on my KZbin feed at random. I didn't even know that anyone grew tea in the USA. Thanks for the informative video.

[@kylestokes4501]

How amazing!! I am in Chile right now drinking a (Black) Sweet Tea, and watching. I became curious of the process. I never knew we had such an Sweet Gem back home in The Great State of Mississippi❤ I was expecting to see Southeast China Tea Fields, not Red Clay Hills😂❤

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

So many folks do not realize we exist. Enjoy your tea and thanks for being here.

@@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934 I can’t wait to try some and bring my wife. My Great Grandfather was the first MD in Neshoba County, and his Boston Wife imported the first “Hard Block” Black Tea from Boston Harbor, “fresh” from England, fresh from the “Orient.” 😂 We still have her Tea Service that came from Windsor, England and the cart she used to entertain. Wow! When you hear of such a cool local business as this, you want to get the Word out!!! Do you allow visits? Tours?

[@abdullaalmosalami]

Thank you very much for showing the process!

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

Thanks so much for watching.

[@louriehitchcock9011]

I enjoyed watching how you process a tea

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandeshnarwade8477]

That was s superb piece of information thanks 👍👍👍👍

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

Thank you for watching!

[@hollysheen6865]

This was so fun and interesting to watch. Living in South Carolina, I have watched how the Charleston Tea Plantation processes their tea, but your process is different in some ways. Thank you for explaining everything. I have bought your tea and it's good! Maybe one of these days we can stop in a visit your company. :)

[@tomarmadiyer2698]

Roll that beautiful tea footage

[@johnwillis1631]

Will definitely be visiting this place!

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

We hope you do!

[@hgdon-homeiswheretreesare-9239]

You can grow tea, coffee, and all different kinds of green in US; awesome 👏, I’m so proud 🥹

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

It is great to see for sure! Tea is growing in popularity too. More and more farms are picking it up.

[@ItsDaHoots]

It is Gods country, this land can grow anything

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

What growing zones can grow tea plants in the US outdoors?

[@jessinicole7998]

I could watch this all day 😍 🍵

[@wazrom]

Thank you 😊

[@heptagonrus]

Very nice and interesting video and process, thank you. I hope the roller punch was not too painful for Timmy :) Btw, why do you additionally wet the tea for the oxidation in the bread proofer? You already poured lot of water into the bottom chamber, it is not enough? I guess to speed up the process a bit, deliver the correct humidity to the leaves right from the start? Probably found this trick by some experiments and practice? (btw, a very unique trick to use the proofer for the oxidation, awesome)

[@adamhensley1217]

I'm thinking about planting some tea in Zone 8a. This process looks awesome. How many years does it take for a plant to get a few feet high so you can start harvesting it?

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

It takes a tea plant 5 years to reach maturity for harvesting. Small harvests can be made at the 3 year mark but for full production it is 5 years.

[@alecgross12]

What temperature/humidity do you oxidize the tea in the bread proofer, and for how long?

[@antonsl-y5696]

Love the tshirt! ❤❤❤

[@louriehitchcock9011]

Thankyou

[@rabbitazteca23]

this is so cool!

[@OG-qn3xs]

Thank you for sharing this with us! You are such a cutie you beast you! 😉 I don't mean to be crude but I am really curious how the tea could actually be clean and not have bird poo and dust from the air, dirt and germs etc... Is it ever rinsed?

[@VirajSandanayake]

I M ceylon thank you very much.

[@chubbz6985]

What strain of tea do y'all grow?

[@mv8548]

The tea leaves ate not washed? Are there bugs or dirt etc

[@jacob.g.l1592]

Tea leaves aren't washed.

[@user-eh3cx1eg8x]

Thank you for the process, seems like you could streamline this better tho, tea bag>weighed bins>withering tray>bin>roller>oxidation tray>drying tray. Just my 2 cents.

[@tesfayelemu1743]

Please can you give me tea machine information I looking tea processing machine

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

All of our tea making equipment is sourced from China. They are the only producers of it that we know of.

[@jameskownacki8639]

Where can I purchase a tea plant

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

If you are local you can email [e-mail] to arrange a pick up. We are not licensed to sell plants outside the State though.

[@jameskownacki8639]

@@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934 cool I'll be traveling in Mississippi late January or early February...do I just email you for a pick up... I would like one plant and I would like to buy some green tea ! How about a phone number

Jeder fängt mal klein an…

[@StarLight-gj4jt]

It makes no difference your all working with leaves

[@vatuesbet8353]

@@StarLight-gj4jtit actually does make a difference. tea is native to china, so the plant is being cultivated in it’s ideal climate. it’s surrounding ecosystem such as the plants, soil nutrient composition, microbes within the soil, & the type of water all ultimately affects the final flavor profile of the tea.

[@StarLight-gj4jt]

​@@vatuesbet8353 it may change the flavour profile slightly but it dosent make it better or worse as your all using new leaf growth

[@atok_a]

very rare. Only is super isolated places in China are there 1000 year old trees, and they are not being harvested for commercial use whatsoever. 100+ year is what is usually considered 古樹 “ancient.” And that is a small fraction of the Chinese tea industry.

Labour wouldn't be high if you chose pickers that were drug addicts. Labour costs would still be high though.

[@jacob.g.l1592]

😂 wow what a great suggestion

[@sarahnjuguna-ih7ym]

Drug addicts or not in the USA you ain't allowed to exploit anyone coz of their circumstances

[@Fridelain]

Interesting and all, but could have done without the affectation.

[@amb600cd0]

hahaha u live like that?

[@jacob.g.l1592]

What makes you think it's affectation? Let's hear your explanation

[@thegreatmississippiteacomp5934]

Thanks for commenting! We are tea farmers and not KZbin pro's. This was one of our first KZbin video's we made. We appreciate your feedback though. We are much better at tea :)
