Nice video, Jeff! There's not enough trustworthy content about pu-erh out there.

[@SeaHearts1]

Awesome, thank you for sharing

[@IbrahimAhmed-ju8ou]

Thank you! liking the vibe you got

[@Electron101]

my question would be where to start, considering this is a "buyer beware" sort of deal when searching for pu erh, theres so many options out there and yet how can i be sure of the quality to price ratio? loved the video btw, perfect in explaining the basics in my newfound appreciation for tea :)

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Thank you for watching . When it comes to finding good quality pu-erh tea, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. In my experience, the best way to get started is to buy a variety of small samples from different companies. This will allow you to try different types of pu-erh tea and find the ones that you enjoy the most. When trying new teas, I recommend using techniques like the three-day rule (mentioned in my other videos) and paying attention to how the teas make you feel not just during drinking them, but after as well. It’s also important to make sure that all your tea sessions have a consistent variable like type of water, temperature, steeping time and weather/humidity. This will help you compare different teas more easily and find the ones that are most comfortable and enjoyable for you. Once you’re confident in your knowledge of pu-erh tea, I recommend only buying teas that you fully understand and enjoy drinking. I hope this helps! Tea is a wonderful thing, good luck on the journey!

Hi Jeffrey, been drinking peur tea for several yrs now, recently received a new batch which was labeled as grade 3, never saw this before any explanation?

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Hi Mark, I’m not as familiar with puerh tea leaf grades as others. As the tea I often deal with doesn’t use it often. It usually refers to the size of the leafs, which some companies would say is reflective of the quality. The grade of leafs is a way to make it easier to standardize the quality of tea with larger batches like factory teas. There are several good articles on it online. Wikipedia or GPT chat may be able to give you high level overview.

[@aCNdissenter]

yay, Jeffrey's the best~ Thank you for the video!

[@Emlane09]

Make a video on Sun teas ….💕

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Hi Emily thanks for watching. I may not be the best expert to make a video on sun tea since I have never made any, but I will keep in mind as I create more content for the channel

[@penguin7863]

Thanks, I just wanted to know how you pronounce pu-erh tea!

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Glad it was helpful, it can be confusing. As both methods of spellings are accepted “puer and pu-erh”

[@kapirk2244]

Nice video, good advice!

[@vleeism]

Please tell me is this considered more like green tea or black tea? The reason I'm asking is because green tea and Oolong tea both make me feel stick to my stomach but I can drink black tea just fine.

[@JeffreyMcIntosh]

Raw Pu-erh when it is young is very similar to green tea. If you have had difficulty with green and oolong I wouldn't recommend most raw Pu-erh. Though Ripe Pu-erh goes through a wet-piling process, making it much more gentle on the stomach.

[@wongfeihung1847]

The reason why you may feel nauseous or sick after drinking tea is because you have issues with your G.I, like me. Weak stomach lining, stomach acid like GERD are all factors and indicators as to why you may not feel good after consumption of caffeine. I used to drink and enjoy tea a lot but because I have issues with my G.I tract I ended up having to stop consuming caffeine. Just cause it would irritate my stomach a lot to the point where I would feel like vomiting. For the past year I've been trying to fix my gut health by intaking more probiotics, drinking kombucha, higher fibre intake, and cultured foods like yogurt. Tea itself is actually supposed to be good for you but depending on your body too. Pu'erh is actually great to aid in digestion especially after a heavy or greasy meal but of course it really depends on your stomach and how it can handle things. But definitely not when you suffer with GERD.

[@doctorbobdc]

So now what is the difference, if any, between the variety Assamica and Assam tea?

[@RK-dk5vt]

Excellent explanation.

[@nishpao]

What brand of Pu Erh tea would you recommend to buy?

[@wongfeihung1847]

When it comes to quality tea, It's not really about the brand... It's more about the tea leaves crop itself... The branding is more about the company and its reputation in terms of things being free from pesticide and how its handled and whether its legit. Few of the large factory brands for Pu'erh tea would be "Yunnan Chi Tse Beeng Cha", "MengHai Tea Factory", "XiaGuan" frometcIa lotfavourite

[@Drawingb]

What about purple teas?

[@xarustunustukanucka]
