We love sharing new experiences around loose leaf tea, much the way we do in our Purcellville, VA tasting room. Spend a little time with us learning about how tea is made, the history and culture behind it, and ideas for enjoying tea.
Over time we will use this channel to augment the experiences offered in-store, on our website, blog, and newsletter.

I notice that when folks in the US talk about Irish Breakfast tea you’re actually talking about something that is quite different to the Irish Breakfast tea drunk in Ireland (where we simply call it “tea”). Sure, we start with the big Assam base for malty strength. But some of the most popular teas drunk here blend the Assam with Kenya and/or Rwanda, and that is what makes the quintessential Irish tea flavour to my mind.
@@Baile_an_Locha Most blends in the UK consist of that blend of teas. Most people in the UK don't drink the English breakfast blend on a regular basis.
Thank you! Somebody brought me an aged white tea cake and i was kinda winging it. I have had it out of plastic, just loosely in the paper, for maybe 6 months now tho. Should i be concerned?
Thank you for being so practical in your information. Any mild, sugarless tea is perfect to have as part of a relaxing bedtime routine. It's warm, aromatic, and hydrating. But that's about it. There are also antioxidants, no? I add frozen berries to mine sometimes, so there are some health benefits there. I love it. Tea makes me feel transported back to a simpler time...like a scene from Pride and Prejudice or something lol.
Hello, my name is July. I am from China. I am a tea lover and practitioner with 15 years of tea drinking and industry experience. I have just come to youtube and hope to promote Chinese tea culture and knowledge here. Let more tea lovers understand China and like Chinese tea. I hope to get your attention and support. There are many videos about Chinese tea in my account, and I hope to get everyone's attention.
I promise you Scottish people weren't growing the tea, they were overseeing the plantations. Sinhalese and Tamil people were growing the tea. Not a dig at you, I just think it's worth acknowledging.
there is a reason irish breakfast is called irish breakfast. it's the blend familiar to the bazzilions of irish emigrants into the US during the 1800s. so why was that blend distinctly irish? because tea from india, ceylon (as was) or kenya came from within the british empire and could be grown in huge quantity solely for a european (and north american) market. those places were also a lot closer to europe than china... and yep there was that closed borders thing with china also. the outcome was that importers could get cheap tea in bulk at around the same time a major temperance movement was underway, and access to a cheap version of that fancy-pants drink the posh people up in the big house drank was just what was needed. followed shortly after by a lot of people starving and emigrating, thus a taste for tea with a punch arrived in murikay to serve a rapidly growing and often poor market. one tea to rule them all.

I love tea, I drink it all day from my çaydanlık (Turkish teapot or samovár) and always unsweetened. As you bring up antioxidants, I have a question. As you know, black teas are green tea that has been allowed to ferment. This "fermentation" is actually oxidation rather than true fermentation. I have to wonder how potent the antioxidants in tea actually are if they don't prevent the tea itself from oxidizing?
I have a friend in China who sent me some of these. It’s a delicious Shou Puerh,with a noticeable citrus taste after the second steeping. It never occurred to me to actually break the orange peel. Is that a typical practice? I appreciate your knowledge!
I'm experimenting with the Ahmad brand I have the cardamom and I have the earl grey they recommend five to seven minutes of brewing time for cardamom at but it doesn't recommend how many grams per cup I've had tested out 3 g 4 g and 5 g what do you recommend for brewing this type of tea it is loose leaf I do have the cup tea infuser and I also have a ninja cold brew system that does tea as well and I also have a specific tea water boiler from China I bought that has specifics at water temperatures for different types of tea it recommends 212 for black tea and it doesn't precisely any recommendations you have would be great and the Graham usage I find that my keys lately are becoming bitter for some reason I don't know why l I'm brewing it to the specifications on the
I have this very week purchased Irish breakfast , and Scottish breakfast teas for my Irish nephew and Scottish niece in law. I will be able to answer each and every question !
These look so delicious! Just came across your channel and I love it. I work at Davids Tea at the moment and have worked at other tea companies. I’d love to have a tea talk at some point if you’re interested.
Me too-but it`s not a cultivar as said in the video,she got that completely wrong.Shoumei/gongmei/bai mudan/mudan wang/yin zhen are different pickings,from big leafs up to the buds,at different times in different mixtures or not,e.g. yin zhen = pure buds and shoumei = big leafs. Anyways,enjoy your tea! :-)
This was really great except for the part where you said that the English who left after the coffee crop failed were Scotsmen... Er no I imagine that they were Scottish! Otherwise this was very interesting.
I took the tisane blend(pills). Man its the best. I think its similar to this. Cleans me out fully. I had a fungal infection on my back. It stopped it right away
I like to brew my white tea and silver needle at about 170f at least but that's because I like a stronger brew and by the 3rd or 4th brew I crank it up to about 190f.... Delicious
