RAW FOOTAGE! Behind the Scenes in the Tea Mountains!

[@lottethemotte3989]

After YEARS of Don beeing my spirit animal of super calmness (he really should do audiobooks, only describing the taste of things) ... it is so funny to finally see something raise his temper - chinese honking 🤣

[@jaydengriffin2478]

"oUr BagS ArE iN HIs CaR" ... "We're in his car" ... "0h"

[@Cookie-tv2bb]

this felt like so much more than just a video it felt like an expierience like i was there in china with you. amazing video

[@Matt-jc5zm]

It is really really heart warming to see videos like this, to see the real people, both of the presenters and of the village culture in Zhōngguó. Happy new year from Australia

[@hot4hugging]

I was waiting for that horn, such a satisfying end!

[@nathansmith9332]

I wish I could like this video 100 times.

[@nikolaslane5989]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE Don's bloopers. More of this plzzz. Amazing video as always! Keep it up Mei Leaf, you are my favorite tea channel.

[@Dr.Graaff]

One of the best videos you guys made!

[@WalkVideos4K]

The car horn part, brilliant

[@ruthannamarteifio9069]

What fun, in spite of the horns honking constantly! :) And I really liked the man's voice when he did the solo---and the three piece band! (What a hangover---lol)

[@cocteauowl5695]

This was so entertaining I wish it went on forever, and I would like to take this chance to thank you guys, tea changed my life, and it's all because of you.

[@annathy]

I really liked this video. Behind the scenes - real life. So much better than scripted. Thank you for sharing.

[@adamsvetlik6636]

This was an awesome video! :) Happy new year, teaheads!

[@erik_carter_art]

Lol, drunk Don seems fun to hang out with. xD

[@erik_carter_art]

Those bloopers at the end were freaking hilarious! 😂😂😂

[@michaelkartman3543]

I really can’t wait to see you two back in China. I’ve never heard someone convey their experiences so effortlessly, you really make us feel like we’re right there!

[@1mataleo1]

That older Chinese guy has a good voice. They sure know how to have a good time!

[@liying29]

Omg this is so good, more of this in 2020 please! Happy new year to all of you tea sisters and brothers, and I raise a bowl to you, Don and Celine!

[@charlesperez9976]

This is a hilarious video! The car horn outtakes had me in tears,the drinking,and subsequent hangover had me in tears! The food left me feeling starving,I wish to partake in every dish that you enjoyed. Well with the exeption of that breakfast monstrosity that Celine tried at the end🤮

[@paulepruss]

This was fantastic! I watch a couple of "popular" China YT channels and this warm, open & honest view is is a balm in these times. Thank you Don and Celine for sharing this. Happy New Year and a successful 2020 to you both.

[@rogerare907]

Wow this is good living! I love this type of authentic travels and not so touristy traps. How I wish I could travel with you guys! It was also nice seeing Celine. I'm sure traveling with her is loads of fun. Thanks for the video!

[@andrejluneznik9254]

Great video. Thanks Don and Celine. I really hit it hard with many of your wonderful teas this year (probably too much). :) Happy New Year to your family and the entire Meileaf Team. Hope to see Annie and Nola in one of your videos in 2020. Your costumer support is patient and very forthcoming. :D

[@iwilldowhatiwannado843]

I love this raw v log style video! I feel like i am travelling in China!! Thanks for the video!

[@6122ula]

...best video yet...f bombs and all...loved your annoyance with the horns and flies...especially the very last horn...finally seeing the real Don !

[@monicaeescobar6126]

wonderful, it is important to know the whole trip so we know more about the culture

[@delongshots6800]

lolol Dons face when Celine bit into that breakfast sandwich! Classic! xD

[@Kuppz5]

Amazing video Don! Travel videos are some of my absolute favorite and this 50 minutes of BTS is awesome :) The honking must be pretty tiring indeed...i watch a bit of Indian street food vids and the honking there is off the charts as well :P

[@LadyGTarot]

That's like south Florida cars do not move without horn engaged. Oh the food looks fabulous.

[@annathy]

We found Don's pet peeves - flies and horns. HAHAHA I laughed so hard. I know it is not funny in the moment, but a video mash with all these disruptions are a joy for the soul. Thank you for lifting my spirits high this morning.

[@mariannefleur6671]

Dear Don, what a wonderful video, I really enjoyed watching! Happy New Year to you and Celine! Your crazy drucken night video really is quite realistic, glad you made it home with Mother in Law driving! I also appreciated the food snippets, as well as the pine apple sharing with a mouse. Thank you so much for lugging so much equipment for our sake, it’s really a joy coming along with you!!! Have a wonderful new year! Best wishes, Marianne

[@SomeRandomOldFatGuy]

this video goes from good, to great, to amazing! Im certain I'll wind up rewatching this

[@agskater1914]

These are some of my favorite Mei Leaf videos

[@helpfulnatural]

Set up my Gong Fu brewing to brew and sip while watching this video. :) That tea stuffed into dried lemons looks incredible! I can almost smell the lemony aroma! :D Love the horn honking bit! LOL! Absolutely love the overhead footage of the tea growing region. Again Don you've shown us how much work and passion goes into producing tea for the rest of the world. :-) Ha-ha!! The wretched hangover the day after.....the booby prize of too much celebration. :-( Happy New Year Don & Celine! :)

[@dakotah2468]

I found your store and just figured you were a random tea reviewer but you guys are so passionate in your work I love it! Keep it up.

[@waynechanner4339]

YO THAT ENDING THO!!!!! LOL!!!

[@MKJulia1]

ROFLOL, GREAT VIDEO! Thank u for sharing your experiences with us. Very enjoyable!

[@jang.1185]

It is soooooo nice :D the best video I have ever seen from your production.

[@desertfox432]

Happy New Year! This was fun over breakfast. The horn part totally had me laughing. You have enough sound clip samples to put a horn song together.

[@naomiroyle9637]

Thank you for the best travel video ever!! So very authentic. Just found the best Chinese restaurant in Vancouver Washington, and we had lotus and red bean dim sum. Yummy. The toilet paper is in the packets we give Railroaders to take on their road trips. Don't forget to take your travel bidet. Good luck with the rain. I hope it all worked out. I'm going to drink some tea now. 2 weeks into this journey of tea learning. Just put in an order. Thank you for all your work!! order.

[@vancer11]

Great video 😍😍

[@LSWUK]

Great video Don. All the best to all at Mei Leaf for 2020.

[@joev.8543]

Thank you for the inside view, please keep doing what you do 💚

[@moritzkohler9214]

Amazing thanks

[@bastianelken7125]

Thank you for the tea and food journey! I really enjoyed it. Had a good laugh too. Will probably never go to China myself because of soy allergy.

[@DamonBoothe]

Amazing video ! Very fun to watch :)

[@sunnyphillips6700]

Oh my goodness guys what a video!! It was interesting ,informative and so much fun!! What with the sex hotel, the darn flies , the moonshine and the 're takes .. What great fun and beautiful scenery ...geez! Everything ! So lovely that you guys show it how it really is .Thank you for such honest human entertainment and knowledge share and those car horns arghhhh! Like your teas Just brilliant! 😁

[@reissm6500]

"Very space efficient" - More room for tea when camping

[@maconebk]

I love that so much! Peace from Germany! Thank you

[@charlessmalldridgevirgo6520]

Loved It!

[@ivanpitonak]

great video and those bloopers :D :D D :D

[@steelameba3906]

I love these videos of you guys adventuring for tea, they are always my favorite. Love what you guys do, thanks for the laughs, the info and of course all the good tea; brewing up some office gossip juice atm to get the day started =)

[@roym.dossantos]

Amazing video, giving a great unpolished and honest glimpse into your tea trips with all the fun and annoying experiences you encounter. I wish you could have tasted that tea growing next to the pineapples as finished product and told us about it, so curious how it turns out. One more thing though; if you'd give me the chance to choose between turtle soup with chicken feet and what seemed to be a sex hotel's soggy egg and sausage sandwich... I would still choose the sandwich in the end 🙈😂

[@unbdld42]

Very nice video....thank you Don and Celine!

[@meitnerium5691]

all that food looks so delicious!!

[@arcticape445]

When are you getting your own BBC show??

[@chrisladouceur4093]

Love this, thanks for sharing!

[@Lau_rao]

Just starting the video and I know it will be a good one hahaha 🤩

[@livnic2000]

Fun video! A happy new year to Don, Celine, Aiyana and to everybody else following this channel.

[@saultopaul3981]

Ha!! The car jamming the the "ping guo"/apple song.

[@13jgasho]

I could watch 50 minutes of Don being disrupted by cars honking. :)

[@pkubek1]

Omg I Love this video and what you are doing guys! Clearly your trips are not a type of fancy Holiday discoveries but a true challenge! Happy New Year and more adventrures!

[@spartancticonsultoriait6356]

That video is insanely amazing and funny! 😁 I saw it in one go👌

[@chrisuk1541]

Great vid as usual. I love how real you both are. Happy new year.

[@felixsonntag2356]

Such a great video and makes me also want to go traveling in China and Taiwan again :) Reminded me of the time when I also ended up in a love hotel in Taiwan out of the lack of alternatives 😄

[@TheHeraldOfChange]

Happy New Year Don and Celine, from Shanghai. Konjac noodles - all fibre no calories :-D Toilet Paper? You gotta bring your own, that's what tissue packets are for. Every time you go to a restaurant and they give you a tissue packet? Keep it! That's your, all purpose, toilet paper. Horn honking?!? This is the ultimate expression of the "Me First!" principle. Cue jumping, lane changing, Me first! Add to this, don't exist if your are not from my family or village, as far as me getting what I want... I am all important and your concerns are inconsequential to me. :-P Love the fact that you DO recognise that you're having first world issues with the behaviours you experience whilst on your travels. Love the look behind the scenes.

[@joyalways1179]

You guys are beautiful. Thks for being so authentically you!

[@electrostaticat]

A most entertaining presentation.

[@GoodDaySir]

This was really great, thanks for the effort and sharing.

[@tinahuttner7280]

I just started 😆when he mentioned the croc,cause I didn’t know what the pic was! Water spinach sounds good!

[@yoshiwiseful]

loved the video

[@droberts9852]

The horns 😂😂😂

[@5Komma5]

Very interesting. Thank you!

[@josephburton6539]

That car horn montage was hilarious!

[@MayanPudding]

Do the engines in chinese cars turn off if you do not honk the horn every 10 seconds?

[@DonDSelectah]

AHAHAHAHA THE HONKING!! Excellent and funny af! #teahead

[@yngwerhappen]

Vow, very cool video.

[@rainerbrunn-countrybluespi514]

Thank you, this was so interesting!

[@foo8lover]

The best video I have ever seen from you!! More more more!

[@casimsalabim]

Very interesting in many ways. The food, the landscape, nice people (30:00 looks fantastic :-) ) Great video! Do you two speak chinese?

[@johnwgula8727]

Thanks for sharing "behind the scenes" of a tea buyer. It was a great cultural learning experience. Happy New Year!

[@elia19]

This video was so much fun. Thank you. I was wondering if you can do more tips and tricks on travelling to China and maybe some info on how to get the visa to travel.

[@giblet1618]

That it is ! love the end of the video!

[@n2kbg]

That was great! You should do one of these every year.

[@mario7027]

Great travel adventures! I just got back from Wuyishan a month ago, missing those places! Happy new year!

[@ladiimpoa]

LOL, good thing you just did that video - "Can GABA tea really cure a hangover?" Hahahaha..... that looks like a fun but taxing trip... we cannot eat anything animal based or with oil due to immune system response so even though it looks DELICIOUS we'd never have anything to eat. If that weren't the case, we'd want to go to China with you on a Mei Leaf excursion experience. - commenting on my wife's profile as we are watching here - Carmelo Santini

[@bastianelken7125]

Would looove to go on a Mei Leaf excursion experience too. Same here, would not be able to eat the food. :'(

[@LiamEserda]

Thanks for this videotrip. Are you never worried about air pollution absorbed by the teaplants? (Air pollution that soaks into crops)?

[@samaritan29]

Awesome, looking forward to the 2019 bloopers video!

[@christianraxo7535]

22:35 teashop roasting

[@TerryPROorchids]

Don - this is the best video you have done!! Barb & I are wishing you & Celeste a Happy, Healthy, Safe, & Prosperous New Year. All our best wishes - as always.

[@inesp9246]

Happy 2020 Don, Celine and everone at Mei Leaf!

[@feelz_4_dayz885]

happy new year!

[@andrewshippy6623]

@MeiLeaf Thank you for this amazing behind the scenes video Don and Celine! I love your tea trips videos. Also, thanks for promoting J-pop group Armar Girls near the end

[@chicocucea]

Don is a foodie!! :D

[@jaaleleet]

i didn't expect to hear about Wei Ying,

[@xmodmodifier]

Came for tea. Turned out it was a food blog lol

[@coreywarrington7035]

Just put in an order a few days ago and I'm so excited for when it gets here. You keep up the good work with the amazing tea! On the off chance, perhaps you'd consider offering more ripened pu-erh?

[@MeiLeaf]

Coming...............

[@absolutelynot7236]

The horns are ridiculous. Take their horns away! Haha

[@BroKeNT1TaN]

When Don downs the moonshine 🤣

[@pinkdipi]

The end though X'D

[@neiltyson6843]

This could be a "Chinese food vlog" channel (or a "Celine tries on clothes" channel lol)

[@americalost5100]

Lol! I had to fix myself something to eat by the end of this : )

[@Colectionarul]

Funnyest video ever :D
