"Can We Stump Xiao Yao?" Ep. 1 - Mystery Black Tasting Video

[@sockbert]

Yes! Yunnan Black tea is so delicious!

[@GreenTeaGuru]

Xiao is tea quiz BOSS! Love the format!

[@Yunnansourcing]

She's very astute. Soon it'll be my turn (to crash and burn)...

[@craftyklaus]

That was fun :) Looking forward to more black tea videos :)

[@patrickmccormack6908]

Excellent video, very excited for this black tea series..!

[@ongoingmartin]

After years of avoiding it, I recently started exploring some black teas. Pleasantly surprising. Good timing now you'll be showcasing some of the black teas on here. Looking forward to when my first order from you arrives. I finally took the plunge!

A word on the used gaiwan: it's the first YS product I ever bought and it's the best gaiwan I have, it's big, but narrower and higher than most gaiwans, so it is easier to handle than a lot of other gaiwans with the same volume (this is very subjective) and the rim stays a bit cooler.

[@Yunnansourcing]

It's a good one... simple design! I like that it has no bottom dish. Honestly I never use that anyways...

[@garbleduser]

I bought the spring tips at the same time also.

[@Kikotronik]

Awesome tasting and lot of information. My favourite black is the 台茶18號紅玉.

[@Yunnansourcing]

We've got some great Ruby 18's on Taiwan Sourcing here --> taiwanoolongs.com/search?q=ruby+18

[@Kikotronik]

Thanks, love the website.

[@Hellokitty9151s]

She is a gem ....👍👍👍❤️

[@Yunnansourcing]

yes... I am a lucky man. Emphasis on "lucky". ;-)

[@IceSlammer]

Still had some of this tea in my cupboard, so I drank the same tea while watching the video, which gave it a whole new dimension. Impressions I had were quite similar. It's a great tea, one of my favourites. Also, very impressive that Xiao was able to guess the tea correctly..

[@Yunnansourcing]

Great idea to do a drink along! ;-)

[@Salaaran]

Woow, I have to say, that was pretty impressive (at least to me) that Xiao Yao could get it right that quickly. This was a pretty fun video, really fun concept. I would like to add that I enjoy the closeups, so we can see what's up with the leaves and brew. Keep up the good work! Edit: I just remembered that I wanted to ask you something. Do you have Pu erh wrappers for sale (like only the sheets)? I have bought a couple of factory teas from your site that comes with a ludicrously thin paper wrapper, so I would love to get some that were a bit larger and thicker, so I could wrap the bricks in only a wrapper, so I don't need the cardboard box that it comes in.

[@Yunnansourcing]

Glad you liked it... she really has a strong memory for the teas. There will be more videos where she guesses the teas! I don't sell blank cake wrapper papers at the moment, but maybe we can add some after Chinese New Year. Good idea!

[@RevolutionaryOpitimism]

Scott! When do you intend to announce the Year of the Dog winners? We're all itching to know!!

[@Yunnansourcing]

Very soon... I am having a hard time choosing from all the great submissions!

[@securityvlogger6825]

i can tell when you went outside for a 'tea pee'...your glasses went polarized, very funny.

[@Yunnansourcing]

I had to go out and rescue Lucy from herself...

[@desertfox432]

What a nice tea table! Where did you get it from?

[@Yunnansourcing]

Gift from a friend. ;-)

[@garbleduser]

I buy it by the pound!

[@sevidebueb7035]

Xiao Yao (12:22) : "Master" phahahah :'D

[@ChristopherRoberts]

Dang! Ya she does deserve a pile of cash for that.

[@Yunnansourcing]

Or a falafel wrap...
