Thank you for doing a video on Darjeeling tea. It is my favourite black tea, but I had never thought to explore it in this manner. Which flush and from which estate was your tea? Looking forward to seeing more videos on different brewing methods for various teas!

[@Nioteas]

Ill have to get this info, I am not that experienced on Indian teas but I am just starting to learn about "estates" etc. I think it is good for me to learn about these different teas and share them with everyone on KZbin even if Im not an expert yet

[@leafster1337]

only second flushes will give the bug bitten flavor

[@themadscientest]

I do love some proper hongcha from Taiwan or China, along with kocha from Japan (red teas), and I'm branching out into things a little further west this spring. Still obsessed with my Japanese sencha, gyokuro, and I need to try bancha too. I practice both senchado and gonfu cha methods and I mostly use a small back handle pot for both.

My favorite tea

[@Nioteas]

I'm glad to hear that you like it! By the way, if you are interested in trying some of our teas we have our summer sales going on now: nioteas.com/

[@sarahpirkle9476]

I take medicines will that affect me when I'm drinking this tea, I just got this tea and outer tea s from a set I got from Amazon because I wanted loose tea leaves for the first time,

[@Nioteas]

yes these are good teas to start with generally

[@slinger001]

would be nice to know where to get the darjeeling. nice vid, I enjoyed it!

[@Nioteas]

I got this one from Tea Addicts, a tea company in Germany

[@joelcrawford28]

Watching this as I drink a pot of Deejarling 😊.

[@Nioteas]

Im so glad you are enjoying the video! If you are interested in learning more about the different types of green teas, you can watch this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZonXdGuGo9Z4bdU

@@Nioteas yes thanks for that. I actually go to a tea shop round here called the Tea Shrine. I am like you a real tea enthusiast. I love especially Japanese Green tea like Sencha and MATCH but do like Chinese Gun Powder tea. I love loose leaf tea. I love all White, Green, Black and Oolong teas. I also love calming non cafine teas like Chamomile, Hibiscus and Rooibos tea😊. I am now a subscriber so will be going through all your videos. I love fellow tea enthusiasts and I find we learn so much from other people and their experiences. Really appreciate tea lovers like yourself who do this😊🍵.

I say the wet leaf is a more accurate smell to the actual tasting. The marketing of dry leaf is a big deception when aromatics are so heavily advertised. I will also point out with gaiwan brewing your generally supposed to "rinse" more oxidized teas first. That first pour I wouldn't have consumed. Gaiwan is more for "flash" steeping due to the small limit of water to high volume of leaf.

[@Nioteas]

Yes you are right. I do find it frustrating when tea shops will use additives in the teas to make the dry leaf smell more strongly. Generally you can't get much from the dry leaf but I do find that a lot of the Japanese green teas we use have an aroma to them even in the dry leaf. I think I'll have to do a little more research about the rinsing because its not my specialty but definitely a worthy topic for a video!

[@leafster1337]

darjeeling and many white teas benefit from omitting the rinse. a straight first brew can retain much flavor

[@samivayajd]

@@leafster1337 yes, Shou Mei or Fuding aged teas I will not rinse at all.

[@dogewow8999]

Darjeeling tastes literally like walnut tea to me.

[@Nioteas]

its very good!

[@dogewow8999]

@@Nioteas just bought some green Darjeeling, I'll see if it's any better. Some Indians told me that Nilgiri green is their best, but I can't find it anywhere.

[@derekjeter9083]

What's the high like

[@Nioteas]

the body sensation is pretty good, not as lifted as an oolong and not as energized as a green tea

[@keithdunipace5090]

Jam on my clothes?

[@Nioteas]

what does that mean?
