MAKING AN ENGLISH CUP OF TEA.

[@Eduardo]

It's disappointing to hear that he's no longer with us. From this video alone it's easy to tell he was a nice man and meant a lot to many people. Raise a teacup for Peter. RIP.

[@SailorsDaBomb]

Oh No! I just came back to watch this again...I love his story-telling. I didn't know he's passed on. He touched my heart. Rest In Peace, dear friend.

[@Amperzand]

Sailor Hill me too, I only just found out. Peter was a lovely man. Hope they keep his videos up on KZbin forever.

[@annaknowsu]

Meh. He got off easy. He lived through the last generation where people actually talked to one another instead of through a screen all the time and didn't have big brother snooping over everything he did in the name of "safety". It's the rest of us that are still here that we should be sad for. RIP.

[@ProudRow]

annaknowsu He got off easy? He lived in a time of difficulty. Our problems at the moment are so tiny, little annoyances at worst. And the rest of us are the ones that should be sad for? The man was amazing and deserved to live for a little longer, just a little longer. So he would have a proper goodbye to all us youtube fans. RIP Peter.

[@susanaalarcon8900]

why do you say he passed away?? is it true??? I cannot believe it, I just watched this video and it melted my heart. I can't be more saaad!

[@ProudRow]

The man was amazing. He never told us of his problems, so we wouldn't worry. It doesn't seem so at least to me. The sorrow on his face in his last video was obvious and so was the feeling of satisfaction on his face. I could see that he was satisfied with what he had done. I wish he was able to live for a few more years. A few more videos for us to enjoy. A few more of his stories. Maybe I could've even spoke to him. I could've. RIP Peter. Rest In Peace and may God bless you. I hope you know how much you've changed people's lives.

[@susanaalarcon8900]

I don't want to watch more videos, these news make me me so saad, I just hope he had read all those kind comments to him and that he had felt all the love from us :( .

[@silviamileto9401]

Caro signore, sono un'italiana che ama il te, ama l'Inghilterra e le buone maniere. Ho incontrato casualmente il suo video mentre facevo ricerche sul tea inglese, il breakfast tea precisamente. E' stato un piacere conoscerla e ascoltare le sue chiacchiere sul tea. Grazie e le auguro ogni bene.🌷

[@hopgoblin1]

My wife and I are avid tea drinkers. It was nice to see how a true English gent prepares his cuppa! Cheers, from Fargo, ND USA

[@HaleySmith]

I miss this man so much. He was the most subscribed KZbinr at one point and my very first subscription xx

[@jonnawiseman9458]

Wish I had found this (and him) much sooner. Peter Oakley, you were a gentleman in every sense of the word. We thank you.

[@sixtenjohansson5468]

What a delightful video. Like having tea with a grandfather. ❤

[@roadwary]

I so much enjoyed this. And my heart a little saddened to realize that he is not with us anymore, and he will not be reading my words. I respectfully toast my educated perfect cup of tea to you sir.

[@johnsonjavier629]

[@irinayankulova2717]

what a lovely man! it must have been so nice to speak with him and simply be in his presence. I wish there were more gentlemen like him today. May he Rest in Peace!

[@bryanwalker3737]

Although he is gone, we enjoyed and appreciate this video. My daughter and I watched it together. She wants a proper tea set for Christmas.

[@wasilaify]

I can listen to him go on forever. He reminds me of my grandfather, both super tedious and patient.

[@DanMowry]

What a charming man. Clearly a treasure.

[@XTRZ55]

RIP

[@sythlorde]

XTRZ55 really?

[@sythlorde]

just watched this again what a great man

[@zelphx]

Here in NORTHERN California, my wife and I are quite the tea fanciers (save for the cream). One tragedy, however, I suffered a head/brain injury in 2015 that robbed me of my sense of smell. Now... sigh... one tea is as another now. I am saddened that this man is no longer with us; people of TRUE class are quite the rarity these days. I may not be competition for this man's grace, but I am surely an admirer of it.

[@tristanhale460]

He had a beautiful soul, I can tell.

[@latasha66]

When he was speaking of his Aunt ( 2:38 ), I could not help but envision Mrs. Bucket (Bouquet?) from the TV show "Keeping up Appearances"

[@QuinnyBoy95]

This was enjoyable to watch. It was kinda relaxing

[@paulrose4201]

almost like asmr

[@rack-less]

he passed away

Mr. Oakley I know you've been gone for three years now but I still miss you very much. You were a lovely chap. This video was always my favourite. God bless ❤️

[@paulcarlisle105]

I tell people with pride I learned how to make a proper cup of tea from a true English gentleman named Peter. Miss you

[@HeXeZgameR418]

RIP Peter Oakley I've only just found his channel and I found I really like him. So please be nice to this lovely old man I've always wanted to meet someone like him so please respect this person. Thank you Nye Allen RIP Mr.Oakly

[@TheKiwibirder]

That was the most enjoyable video I have seen in a long time. I am sad to read that this lovely gentleman is no longer with us. I hope to meet him some day on the other side. What a gentle soul.

[@MrItalian87]

Thank you for all of the wonderful videos, never stop!

[@ProudRow]

Sorry mate, he can't help it. He's in heaven now.

[@StuartLoria]

If the world were a fair place, money would not be a problem to good people with class like this man, who should have been able to stay at the Ritz being such a nice person, instead the people that are the worst examples are the ones with money, ironic.

[@ProudRow]

The irony pains me.

[@daytoncoke790]

Stuart, you are obviously one of the good ones yourself. I hope you and yours have what you had wished for others.

[@delruel]

I love this video. A fine cup of tea by a fine gentleman. Thank you for sharing your secrets of an English cup of tea.

[@XxBirdyKunxX]

I am so sad that I have only been blessed with finding Peter now, when he has already passed. He really seems like a very lovely man and I am simply in awe of what this man had done.

[@dulcecarvalho5376]

So cute! What a lovely story teller! Love it!

[@DIMOMU]

Thank you! I felt like I was right there sitting in the kitchen listening to all those lovely stories!

[@Infinityxxxxxx]

Would have loved to been able to share a cup with you, Peter!

[@celestialskye1]

Just found this channel. What a proper English Gentleman that sadly are fewer and fewer of these days. I think I could have sat down and listened to stories he had to tell.

So lovely. I enjoyed the conversation. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Hello! Your video brought a smile to my face and I really enjoy your stories. I'm really glad that you had the idea to make videos. You're very informative. Have a good day.

such a wonderful mr! he could be my grandfather, I would love to hear his stories!

[@sabihatu]

Just ran into this on the internet. God, I missed this man. I'll go and make an English cup of tea in remembrance of him.

[@DaphneHarridge]

Absolutely charming! This American was smiling all through your wonderful tutorial. Thanks so much for this video! I think I'll unpack my grandmother's china and have a go at brewing some real tea :-)

[@captainfoxheart]

Also i love hearing stories like yours! I can listen for hours with a million of questions!

[@nwhynter]

I very much enjoyed your anecdotes, I watched the video whilst having my tea. You are so dapper and charming, great company for my tea today. I will definitely warm my pot next time I make a cup, I found that tip to be very natty. Thank you!

Let us all spend a moment to remember his great advice and stories. RIP Mr Oakley.

[@garfieldwithissuez]

Thank you for this. As an American in Texas (who loves all things tea) this has answered many questions for me.

[@erinkittridge3148]

I think I am getting it. It's not just about the tea. The execution is important , but It's a way facilitate a social connection. This was informative and just lovely.

I have never witnessed a more interesting cut of tea brewed

[@MeenyMcSweeny]

This is so cool! I'm bummed about him passing...RIP dude.

[@lindashelley3635]

Just discovered your channel, and subscribed. Oh, how this takes me back to my childhood! My parents were from the east end,and I believe it was a good old fashioned cuppa that helped get us through the war. And as a teenager I remember buying '6 pennorth' of chips smothered in salt and vinegar from the fish shop on the way home from the youth club. They've never tasted the same since they stopped wrapping them in newspaper!

[@ProudRow]

He passed 8 months ago. Glad to see someone's comment before he departed.

[@liquidocelot5976]

A good cuppa could get you through anything

[@bobdole4694]

I think it more likely that; the changeover from frying in lard or dripping to vegetable oil was what changed the taste.

[@shreddedPaige]

You are so charming! I just feel so relaxed listening to you!

[@ibuprofenPill]

Sir, this was a delightful video and you are a true English gentleman.

[@geriatric1927]

@alan4391 yes of course you can add that as well it is your taste and also some might drink it with a thin slice of lemon....

[@jmkrieger67]

Thanks so much - so many people need to learn how to do this correctly!

[@taoubayacoubi9245]

[@highcotton63664]

I loved your video. I am an Earl Grey fan myself but I really enjoyed seeing it done the traditional way and I also enjoyed your stories. Good day!

[@Lupitamihita]

This brings back happy memories of living in my mother-in-laws house in England. This is how she taught me to make it. She added a spoon of sugar and a splash of milk to the bottom of the cup before pouring the tea. She used to give her dog tea in his dish. He would slurp down the tea to reach the sugar.

[@AmbientoftheFel]

o m f g........This is the koolest older gentlemen I have ever come across. So sad to hear that he has passed. I could have totally spent time with someone like him. I downloaded this video to watch from time to time. "Charming video!"

[@shawnstatzer3137]

Over the years, I have watched his lovely videos of tea and storytime. I am so sad to find out that he had passed. His passion for the art of stories and English teas have been etched in the stone of my life. Thank you, the friend whom I have never met.

[@coccinelle80]

What a sweet man!! I am saddened to hear that he has since passed on 😢. May he rest in peace.

[@GodInTheMachine]

Really love your videos. Thank you. Hello from Austin, TX.

[@Daiul]

Happy to see the lack of sugar. 'how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? It would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. Tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. If you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water. ' George Orwell, 'A Nice Cup of Tea'. Couldn't agree more.

Your presence is sorely missed.

Thank you for the wonderful tips and stories to go with my morning cup of tea. I've never thought to warm the pot beforehand. Cheers from Buffalo, NY!

[@duane639]

He was obviously a very nice man. I really enjoyed listening to him explain English tea and tell his stories. I was surprised he didn't add milk to the tea.

[@ProudRow]

He probably did, later on after the video's recording. But how would I know. I only began watching this amazing man's videos yesterday.

[@marihani]

I love your pots, Peter. The one at the back was especially lovely. I am not very fond of squared off handles, though - they seem to be very uncomfortable to hold by when the pot is full. The handle of the beautifully shaped cup is smart, as there is a large enough area to get a good grip, even though your finger doesn't fit through it. Is it so that the british always add the milk before the tea?

[@gelsomaniac]

I loved this video and you are so sweet :) Lots of love from Connecticut!

Hi there, I really enjoy your videos and have been watching on and off since you started (when I was 11/12 years old) This reminded me of a short film I saw called 'Tea Making Tips' from 1941.

Like he said in the space under the title ...soft water makes tea so tasteful ,hard water makes it bitter ! That's why it tastes so much better in Japan ( where I came from originally ! )& U.K. !
