Hi! I'm Tea Master Olivia, based out of Vancouver, Canada. I own and operate a premium tea shop with tea and teaware rooted in quality and tradition. For as long as I can remember, tea has been my family's daily routine. As we moved to Canada in 1970's, we struggled to find a reliable source for authentic high-quality Chinese tea. Motivated by this in 1981, my parents created a space where fellow immigrants and new tea lovers could enjoy some of the finest teas in the world. It's now been almost 40 years since but our mission stays the same, join us as we explore the world of premium tea.
So lovely. I am enamored by the fact that for example Gong Fu style treats each tea as a jewel. We are meant to smell the aroma before we even taste it with the rinsing of the leaves. The first pour being a beautiful cup full of aromatics and color and exquisite taste. Tea jewels...much like your lovely videos. Thank you "Olivia." Forgive my informality as I do not know your family name.
Hi I have a question for you. This tea can be infused many times. What is the best way to preserve the tea in-between infusion times. For example if I make the tea morning, can I preserve it and use the same tea leaves for the evening?
The benefit won’t be the same if you preserve brewed tea for later use. However, if you can’t finish all the infusions, you can add some water and let it steep in the fridge as a cold brew. It will be a great summer drink! Cheers!
@@treasuregreentea Hello Madame About tea and how about oulong tea ? Could you compare with puert tea and wugii tea and … please 🙏 Thanks 🙏 be best heath
Please email us your address with products you wish to purchase and we will give you a shipping quote if they can be shipped! consultant@treasuregreen.com. Thank you!
Made my first cup of good tea today by following your video! I bought a gaiwan teapot and pu'er tea brick 4 days ago and made tea every day since. But before watching your video, my boyfriend kept saying my tea tasted like wood chips lol! Today he thought the tea tasted really good. Thank you!
As long as the light doesn’t go through the container, it will protect the tea longer. We recommend avoiding smell and light to prolong the tea shelf life. Happy sipping!
What about mixed teas? What temperature and brewing time would you suggest? Such as chai's or for example black teas with lavender or maybe even dried fruits like currants and such. Wonderful informative videos. Bless you.
If it’s black tea base you could try 90-95c for 1 min or follow the brewing instructions indicated in the package. Finding your perfect brewing method can be fun too! Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much! So informative, and assisting me greatly in my gongfu tea collection, I am buying pieces one at at time as I can afford them and what appeals to me aesthetically.
I've only brewed tea the gongfu way for about a year. I just didn't know the huge difference there was between western and Chinese brewing. I started with just using my aeropress which I had for coffee, stepped up to one of those all in one easy gongu tea brewer things, and now I've got my gaiwan coming in the mail. You're etiquette videos, and watching some tea house sessions have helped tremendously. I've also got a dry tea table coming in the mail and really enjoyed your video about how to set up your tea table. Thank you for the gift of your wisdom. :)
I appreciate the information, they have been randomly popping up everywhere and only recently. I think this is dumb as shit personally but good to know and to each their own.
I love your channel! It really brings me so much joy❤️ I’ve recently decided to start my own tea business as a 22 year old, and I have learned a lot about tea from your channel💕thank you for always sharing amazing content!
I’ve never had quality tea before…trying to learn all I can. I find your videos/channel very helpful and wonderfully presented. Thank you for sharing your talents 🤗
I've been waiting for new Segment Tea with Olivia! So happy to see this Video about Tea Cake and how to insert the tool to break apart. I've started my own Tea Journey and watched all your Videos. They have been so helpful. I hope you will produce more Tea Videos like this.. So happy to watch you again it's been too long!!! 😂
Lovely video! I have heard that white tea ages better in airtight storage (unlike puerh and dian hong). So then maybe a glazed container or porcelain would be better (as with aging oolong). But storing white tea for aging is still quite new to me. What are your opinions here!
Correct! To age white tea it should be stored in a sealed container to maintain its honey-like aroma. Keep it away from light, maintain a stable temperature, and avoid strong odors and moisture to preserve its flavor. Hope this helps 🙏
Hello! We use an induction stove/glass kettle for making hot water. There are kettles that display temperatures and are perfect for making accurate temperature water for tea!
Does knowing Mandarin help when picking a tea? Like do the tea names mean something in English or are they mainly locations or maybe regions? Im very new to this so i apologize if its a dumb question
Your question is absolutely valid! Having knowledge of the Mandarin language can be a significant advantage when it comes to sourcing teas, especially when dealing with merchants who might rename their teas. Without this language skill, it can be extremely challenging to locate or gain a deeper understanding of the tea in question. At the very least, knowing the "Pin Yin" transliteration of the words can provide some helpful clues. So, in the world of tea sourcing, Mandarin language proficiency can be a valuable tool for ensuring you get what you're looking for and understanding the nuances of different teas.
