I seem to be one year late with these videos, but I love it! I had no idea how life in China is and your videos really gives an insight into it. As someone living in Europe I rarely hear anything positive about the country. This is really refreshing to see! Really something needed during these weird times we now live in :) As for coffee Vs tea I think they will always live side by side. As someone who has spent the past years trying to understand coffee, getting good quality tea and some basics of tea was really natural. Altough this video really shows that there is a lot I need to learn about tea xD

[@GundemaroSagrajas]

I agree that tea is not going anywhere anytime soon. Actually, tea culture has grown exponentially here in Mexico City since the 90's. Which is great, cos I love tea. I do think however that it's kind of sad that some people seem to regard tea as boring, old-fashioned, not hip enough or even bland. It is just generally underappreciated, and tea has so much to offer. To me tea trains you to appreciate subtlety, delicate aromas and fine tones. I like coffee too, but for me, tea is always gonna be my poison.

Love your video. I stay in Kunming, Yunnan, and I love both tea and coffee. I studied tea in a tea expert school(like a training small class that you can get in Kunming), I can definitely tell and admire the Puer tea now, it's more about a kind of attitude for life, you can tell the different layers of flavour (the tea go through your throat, you can feel it in your tongue, your teeth, the entire mouth, and finally your whole body, in my opinion, these feelings need to be trained. Because I can't feel it in that way till trained.) and I drink it everyday. Good for keeping the body shape, and keep the mind clear like the coffee does. If you buy good quality like 老班章laobanzhang, or 冰岛Bingdao, It's expensive, and I choose like 贺开Hekai, 帕莎Pasha, less expensive, about 1200RMB for1 kilo. And I love it, you can buy like RMB300 in bulk, and drink already a long time, strong tea is only for taste not good for body, so light tea need less tea leaves. Remember to take care of the tea leaves, broken tea leaf can add bitter and astrictive taste to that. I also love coffee, after having all that good espresso in Rome, so I got a good coffee machine, My coffee bean was from BaoShan, Yunnan, very good quality, very fresh and cheap(1kilo about RMB 70，can be bought in Taobao.) Coffee for the morning, and a tea cup with me for work. so nice.

[@Soffenoffe]

Excellent, fun, informative video! Yunnan is my second home since 2012 as my partner is from Pu'er County and I actually only know one person from Yunnan who drinks coffee, the rest just drink tea and that suits me perfectly as I'm a weird Swede (Sweden is one of the world's number one coffee drinking countries) who doesn't drink coffee. I bring home lots of tea produced from ancient tea trees so that I can drink that back home when others drink coffee. I've seen quite a few coffee plantations in Yunnan and seen a temple where the whole temple yard was covered in coffee beans left to dry, but I've been told its not profitable and that the coffee growers really struggle to sell their beans, while I've met dozens of people who got rich or even super wealthy from tea trading, for example some locals on Jingmai Mountain with its ancient tee trea forest. Watching this video, I realize I hadn't gotten the whole picture regarding coffee and its popularity in China. I'm curious now and will find out more next time I'm there. I did try Yunnan coffee once and have a bag of it at home and I enjoyed it more than I had expected, but I much prefer Pu'er tea.

[@kalefu]

Hi. Great video, thank you 🙏 Few things just for your information, PuErh is named after City of PuErh not other way around, it have been changed to city of Simao at some point but with PuErh growing popularity they came back to it’s original name. Also PuErh is as much big leaf variety (camellia sinensis assamica) as processing and terroir (must be coming from Yunnan), so technically you can make any kind of tea from it, thus PuErh doesn’t just grow, it’s made into PuErh. Looking forward to more of your videos 👌

[@_APV_]

Hm, I found this information: "The city, famous for Pu'er tea growing for hundreds of years, was first granted the Pu'er name in 1729 when the Qing government established an administrative region there." "The raw pu-erh tea was invented and introduced during the dynasty of Ming, about 700-800 years ago" So it seems to me that you are wrong saying that the tea was named after the city. Unless you can provide some other information.

[@kalefu]

A. P. V. Hi. Thanks for reading my comment :) Google “origins of PuErh” and read what specialized blogs / shops have to say about it. “Pu-erh tea is named after a town called Pu-erh located in central Yunnan. Pu-erh did not produce tea; rather, it was a trading post where all teas produced from the nearby tea mountains were sold and traded. For easy transport, teas were compressed into cakes or bricks and transported to different parts of China and Asia by horse caravan. Later, all teas traded in this town came to be known as Pu-erh tea” Source www.banateacompany.com/pages/puerh_history.html Another: sevencups.com/learn-about-tea/puer-tea/ I’ve read about it in one of my books about tea, I also think it was mentioned in GTH magazine. Hope that helps :)

[@kalefu]

A. P. V. Found GTH article “The Name "Puerh" The word "puerh" really doesn't refer to a kind of tea. It was once a city within the Yunnan region of China. In 1950, after the Communist Revolution, the city was renamed "Simao". Then, in 2007, after a tidal wave of puerh madness and popularity, the local government made the decision to call the city by its original name, so it is now once again called "Puerh", as is the province. Traditionally, Puerh was the market center where all the tea grown in the region was brought to be traded and/or sold. Later, all the tea from Yunnan came to be known as "Puerh Cha (普洱茶)" or "Tea from Puerh"...” Source archive.globalteahut.org/article/427

[@_APV_]

@@kalefu So, you're saying that the Pu'erh tea didn't exist before 1729, when the town was named?

[@kalefu]

A. P. V. I’ve said no such thing you just jumped to conclusion. Traditionally PuErh was I believe just called Hei Cha, commonly translated as dark tea (due to PuErh used to be drank only after aging). Most famous variety of Hei Cha category is Pu-erh, named after the trading post (PuErh city) for dark tea during imperial China. I’m not sure about what year PuErh city have been established and I would take information from wiki with grain of salt. As for history of PuErh tea, it can be traced back to Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) according to some sources. Is that settles it ?

I don't know too much about it, but the one I got from Canada (imported from Britain) tastes very different from the one I got from China. Very strong smoky flavor, pretty complex (might be better with milk&sugar, but I didn't try). Personally I prefer the China one that is much milder, very fragrant.

Love the video. I used to live in east China but never got to travel west. I'll probably pop over for a visit in the future. Even in tiny Weihai, there were maybe three Starbucks, as well as 10 or so Bread'N cafes, and a variety of different family-owned dessert cafes that served their own homebrewed coffees. The culture in China is definitely changing. It's ironic, though, that everyone equates coffee with being a mostly western drink. Yes, it is popular in Europe and the Americas. However, coffee trees have been growing in East Africa forever and it was the West Asian countries like Yemen and Turkey that made it into a drink first from what I've read. It's from the Arabic word قهوه "qahwah".

Interestingly, the city's name was changed to Simao in 1950 (during the Chinese Civil War) but in 2007 the city's name was changed back to Pu'er.

I love coffee, and drink it every day, but Pu'Er is a sublime beverage IMHO... much more so than coffee. Pu'Er is magic! Coffee, even the top stuff, is at the end of the day just a cup of joe.

Hi, just saw your video! It's great! How is the transport from Kunming to Pu'er field tea?

I shall now mix coffee and tea into a single drink! (NO YOU FOOL! DON-) *HUGE EXPLOSION*

[@frenchfrete]

There is a drink that mixes tea and coffee together. At least in South East Asia. It's called Yuanyang

This is my favorite video you've done. I'm a puerh enthusiast!

I think you have caught something vital in traditional Chinese culture, especially when it comes to the comparison to the west's, HARMONY IN DIVERSITY! Different beverage, east or west, they are welcomed; different ethnics, minor or major, they live together in one land; different culture, traditional or foreign... Chinese can always find a way to include the new trend while keeping the one they already have.

So very sad that the West's 'harmony in diversity' has become so challenged in recent years. But not everyone feels that way - just the LOUD minority.

I have been to Yunnan province, the locals tell me the story of Pu'er tea. In Ancient Sichuan-Tibet Plateau, locals lack of porcelain. So the trade appeared. For porcelains are so easy to broken, they put green tea inside ---- which also is one kind of resource the plateau locals need, cause the local living in plateau lack of Vitamin. For some reason like raining, a part of tea fermented, and it taste not bad. So, Pu'er tea as a new type tea been created.

咖啡是提神，喝茶是养生，它是有阶段的，比如送礼，送长辈定然是茶合适，而且不会出错，毕竟咖啡是快速饮品，而茶是用来体会的。两者真的不矛盾，但是市场需求会变化。
