7 Ways to Drink Tea | Around the World 

Uncle Iroh would be excited on seeing this episode

"This tea is nothing but hot leaf juice!" "Uncle, thats what all tea is." "How could a member of my own family say something so horrible!?"

Loved the moroccan guy. He seemed so nice and passionate about his tea.

There is no ocassion for tea, Tea is the ocassion Perfectly said

I find it heart warming to think that you can bridge cultural gaps and language barriers simply by sitting down for a cup of tea together.

I love how everyone they showed is from an urban area . Yet when they reached Morocco , they went to someone living in a rural secluded place XD No wonder foreigners get surprised when they come here !

Russian lady: tea is a measure to make russian drinks less alcohol Russian: makes alcoholic tea

Sometime ago in china: Student: There's a leaf in your water Teacher, about to invent tea: Oh, haven't you heard?

Tea is a freaking art. You don’t get it perfect every time, but sometimes you do, and you fall in love with those precious sips. I make it everyday hoping it’s the special day today. I like coffee too but I don’t think I could have it everyday 😬

A wise person once said - "The best cup of tea is the one that you enjoy."

fun lil fact: actually tea *is* the most popular beverage in the world. because the definition of a beverage is any drink that ISNT water

Disappointed China and Turkey weren’t here :/ but I’m happy about all the other countries and learning about their customs, especially India and Morocco. Also good thing they brought up the whole “chai tea” meaning “tea tea” haha. Vanilla chai from Dunkin has always been a favorite.

I love how everyone uses their native language.

My philosophy in life is that tea fixes everything. And it does. You're too cold, tea will warm you. You're too hot, have it iced. You're sad, tea will comfort you. You have a sore throat, tea will soothe you. You have a cold, tea will cure you. You're bored, tea will entertain you. Whenever I'm at a loss for something, tea has always been the answer.

As a Chinese, I would like to say that the main reason for different drinking methods is usually the difference in tea varieties. For example, green tea is usually only soaked in boiling water for 15 seconds, and the tea will become bitter after a long time; White tea need boil with spices; Pu'er tea needs to be soaked in hot water for half an hour to reveal its flavor; black tea can be mixed with milk to make milk tea.

In Boston we just dump it in the harbor.

God bless her for not calling the Indian brew chai tea

Loved the fact that Argentina and mate (I totally share the spirit of mate and I love it) is featured, but technically TEA is the camellia sinensis plant infusion. Yerba mate is a totally different plant. Mate is not tea. These are two different things that come from a different plant... But I loved the episode! Greetings from Argentina!

In Mongolia, we drink milk tea with SALT. We also enjoy MILK TEA DUMPLING SOUP. Please make a video. I would love to help if you guys need help. Thanks

There should definitely be a part 2 of tea! I'm seeing a lot of comments mentioning China and Turkey and I'd be interested to know more about those. As a Malaysian, I'd also like to see some teh tarik representation!

i came here just to see if they were showing moroccan tea and im so glad they did! We literally drink tea at ALL times, for breakfast, lunch, as a snack and dinner. There's not a single moroccan household where they don't drink tea on a daily basis😂

In Argentina when you're drinking mate with another person, you take turns drinking from the same cup, instead of each one having their own. You drink the whole cup before giving it back. In theory the metal kills germs but really no one minds the hygiene, it's such a huge part of the culture The host is the only one who refills the water and usually drinks first, since the first sip is the most bitter. In some places the guest signals he doesn't want any more by saying "thanks" when he gives back the gourd. In the summer is common to use fruit juice instead of water

Here in Canada, we have something called a "London Fog" and it's basically a latte, but made with Earl Grey tea and a splash of vanilla. I'm not a big tea person, or a caffeine person in general, but a London Fog really brings out the floral flavours in the Earl Grey. And this is done with many different types of tea, each with its own name! One made with matcha is a Tokyo Fog, one made with chai is a Bangalore Fog, a Dublin Fog is made with Irish Breakfast Tea, a Maui Fog has coconut instead of the vanilla syrup. If you're in the US and want to try it, get a Starbucks Earl Grey Latte, it's basically a London Fog! :D

It’s interesting to note that the Hindi and Russian word for Tea is “Chai” and sugar is “sakar”

To save time, I just swallow the tea bag then pour boiling water down my throat.

"Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home."

I am Syrian, and even I recognize that China should have been added to the video. Not hating, just a suggestion. It would have made your research more wholesome as tea was discovered in China. The arabs and Turks and other people in the surrounding areas discovered tea from China via the silk road. Britian didnt even have tea until the 1600s (from China).

I work at a coffee shop in Canada and we have a lot of students from India who come in to order chai. Now I understand why 🤗 Not to say our chai is even close to as good as what they probably had at home (its just instant bagged tea) but I suppose it's close enough to remind them of home. ❤

That Russian grandma is a badass. "Frankly, it was to used to stop people from drinking so much alcohol."

I love how she’s so respectful! She actually tries them and appreciates all of the different ways :)

i would‘ve loved to see mongolia in this episode, our tea customs are really interesting (it’s salty and made completely differently)

In Malaysia, we love to make thick tea, pour some condensed milk and evaporated milk then mix it all by tossing the tea from one cup to another. It will be so bubbly and you can put ice or just drink it warm and sometimes people prefer it to be hot. We call it "Teh Tarik" which literally mean "Pulled Tea". We (Malaysian) love to drink this for breakfast or if the day feels cold. I really hope our tea can be in this video but I it's not... But it's okay. I'm giving brief information about Malaysia's no.1 tea is enough I hope😊

We definitely need a part two, there are so many places that need to be talked about. Tea is the second most comsumed liquid besides water so there are a plethora of different ways to make it.

I love this series! The host is so relaxed and non-judgemental when it comes to the taste of the teas and the cultural differences. Even if she isn’t big on something she tries, she still keeps it positive and continues on 😌😌

Japanese lady says we drink tea ALMOST evert day here in Iran we drink tea almost every hour

Omg, finally someone who said/wrote “around the world” and actually remembered Africa exists and has many countries to choose from.

Moroccan mint tea is the absolute best ! I've tried tea in Turkey, Ukraine, Germany, France etc but Moroccan mint tea is the best by far.

She lowkey looks like she never wants to drink tea again.

I'm "addicted" to tea, this documentary gives me nearly feeling of ecstasy.

Why not adding Turkey? Its the country with the most Tea consumption per person in the world... but still great video.

I was weirdly psyched during this episode because I love tea so much. There should be entire travel shows dedicated to tea around the world, because there is always more to see.

"A measure to make people drink less alcohol" I- That's believable.

as taiwanese american and a tea lover, I am especially appreciative of the fact that you included Taiwan in this video. THANK YOU.

Really enjoyed this. Being British, tea is our way of life. I loved each country showing us what tea means and how to prepare. One country I am surprised you never covered is Turkey. Turkey drink more tea per head than any country on earth! They love it and it is everywhere you go. Watching tea sellers negotiate routes thru busy markets is amazing.

"chai tea" "PIN number"

You didn’t mention Turkey, the country drinks most tea per capita!!!!!!!

Funny story about matcha: My friends and I came to Japan for a cultural immersion and one of the things in our itinerary was a Japanese tea ceremony. My friend was really cocky, saying he’ll enjoy the matcha since he enjoys matcha lattes. Keep in mind that matcha lattes in my country are really sweet since they are premixed for cafes to use. With that in mind I said ok, we’ll see. We get to the tea room in the school that was hosting the immersion. We were given specific instructions and one such instruction was “eat the mochi BEFORE you drink the tea, and eat the sugar cookies WHILE drinking the tea.” This idiot of mine didn’t listen to a damn thing. So while we waited for the tea master to finish boiling the water, my friend kept staring at the plate of sweets (1 mochi, 3 sugar cookies), and started eating the cookies. And I stared in horror, but then i said you know what nevermind let’s see what happens. They left one cookie, and the mochi alone. The tea master came down the line of students sat in a circle, then when she reached me and my friend, she just looked curiously at his nearly empty platter of seeets and looked at me with a “are they being serious” face. I shrugged and watched in bliss at the face of my friend as they slowly regretted not paying attention.

Morning Chai in India is great; but the feeling of having it on a beautiful rainy sunday evening in Bombay along with Kanda bhajji (Onion fritters) and Vada pav (Bombay style veg burger) is just serene and magical.

I love this channel. this is true journalism at it's best: uniting the world by celebrating our cultural differences.

They should’ve had China in this. China was the inventor, and had a whole war because of tea. Tea is highly dug into China’s history, would’ve been perfect to compare China’s way of tea to other cultures.

I thought it was funny how UK is considered this sophisticated tea drinking country, but 96% of them drink tea from tea bags, which is considered the lowest quality tea.

Beryl's story about how she learned to make masala chai was so heartwarming :D

I love this! My husband is from India too, and same story I don’t know much Hindi and my mother in law taught me how to make chai as well as other Indian dishes! So beautiful!!! I love seeing the parallels with a stranger, i love this type of content keep up the great work. :)

india has professional tea drinkers they are called engineers]

I love how this video shows many different customs without judging them while at the same time giving honest reviews about the teas’ flavours instead of being fake like “omg its so good”

"Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights"

Argentina: has maté German hipsters: *IT’S FREE REAL ESTATE*

7:43 dang it. the dog scared the heck out of me lol

I'm from Assam, India and tea is our life. Not even exaggerating. ☕

México has its own tea also, "agua de Jamaica" is a kind of ice tea selled everywhere in the country and pretty popular. You should taste it.

Tea is everywhere. This video shows how we are so connected.

Trust me Indian masala CHAI is one of the best beverages, most tasty ones are found on roadside

There are so many uncle Iroh references in the comments I’m so proud of this fandom

4:02 being British this is a big mood. Tea is the only thing I look forward to in the morning.

I’m surprised you didn’t feature Turkey, the country that drinks the most tea But great video!!!

As a Chinese, the least thing I’d like to add in my tea is this boba! It’s way too sticky and everything, I always ask for milk tea with no boba in it😬

For a nation who practically invented tea, China is being excluded really?

You can see how minute and uniformed the bubbles in the matcha section was, that's the skill of a tea master and high class matcha powder.

2:48 did she add milk before tea...... My British heart is crying

I was expecting to see turkey we drink tea literally all day long 😂😂

Has anyone else seen that photo? "Tea if by sea, Cha if by land"

These people went to the deep parts of the atlas mountains in Morocco to interview a guy about tea. Mad respect ! Btw Lahcen looks like every Moroccan grandpa out there talking about how he used to throw rocks at the french colonisers when he was little

0:00-0:22 Then actually starts at 1:19-2:17 Starts up again at 2:55-4:06 Starts up again at 4:38-4:47 Starts up again at 6:39-8:29 Starts up again at 9:07-10:19 Starts up again at 10:55-12:21 Starts up again at 13:10-14:24 Starts up again at 15:07-15:59 Starts up again at 16:25-till the end of the video.

This is so comforting and relaxing to watch. And you got married to an Indian guy, we want to see a spicy food episode.

THE INDIAN MORNING IS INCOMPLETE WITHOUT "CHAI"

I prefer to drink tea in the early morning, curled up with a book, ideally in raing weather...

Hey Beryl, I really like the way you express your love towards India & it's culture, & especially your mother-in-law, as you are learning a lot from her. Your videos shows a natural reality. Keep it up 👍

Wow, literally no mention of China, the nation that basically invented tea

It was really fun to see your love for teas and herbals come through. I wish you had showed a bit more of traditional tea, especially from China. It's the birthplace of tea and I feel like you skipped over it. It would have been a great chance to showcase brewing in a gaiwan or clay teapot! Also, the word "tea" is widely used to describe the liquor from most plants after they have been boiled or heated, however, tea is technically a part of the Camellia plants. Also, if you make more matcha at home, you may either need to whisk it longer or use more matcha powder--you really want to see foam on the top. Cheers and happy drinking!

asking for tea America: “auhhhh yeah i think we have some Lipton in the back. and you want two tea bags in that, right?”

So y’all included the Brits but conveniently ignored China, the originator of tea culture?? The bias is real.

"Things to do, once quarantine is lifted": Drink tea. Like, A WHOLE WEEK. And everyday must be a different kind of tea. *Thank you, Beryl!!! This is a GREAT idea.*

Next time, come to Kenya and enjoy a different kind of "African Tea" PS. I am a tea grower too!

When I went to the region of Daguestan, the last day we were invited for tea.Once there the host received us with a mighty meal and then reparted this curious looking cups.Or rather curious looking glasses.The tradicional tea cups are made out of glass, they have an hour glass shape, without handles.A removable metal structure covers the lower part and ends in a handle-Once the tea is poured , it cools quickly because of the design-Even though lemon was a not local fruit( the region is very dry instead) it has been commonly used to bring flavor to the tea.For centuries Daguestan was a melting pot of cultures thanks to its position in the map,you see, Daguestan was one of the cities who grew around ancient commercial routes and then the Silk Road -Finally the tea is acommpanied with a sweet conserve, my favorite being the figs one.

I absolutely cannot believe that you skipped Turkey. The world’s most tea consuming country with our own domestically produced tea from Eastern Black Sea coast.

I am a little disappointed that sweet tea culture wasn’t featured, but frankly I’m too happy to find a nice tea related video that I’m not too disappointed. Actually I really enjoyed the Russian take as I feel I rarely see that one in my own tea culture research. It just makes me happy to hear more about tea and the love others feel for it too!

It’s interesting when you learn where tea actually originally it’s from, over the past years in the United States drinks like bubble tea, matcha, and milk tea I’ve become more increasingly popular but people don’t really know where it comes from and it’s been kind of modified and “white washed”, so it’s nice to get a historical perspective

It makes me so sad thinking about how that Taiwanese man has probably lost his business because of covid 19😭😭

And then there’s me, an American, drinking my Americanized green tea sugar water that’s named after a state

My favorite tea is matcha all the way. I absolutely love the history behind it and I love the slightly bitter aftertaste

No traditional Chinese tea ;(

I kept hearing Tom Holland's "I drink tea darling" qoute over and over inside my head 😂

The Morocco guy's words was so wholesome I love it.

Not a mention of Ireland. We're the second biggest tea drinkers after Turkey (no mention of them either).

Hi? Origin of all tea? China？？idk just seemed kind of important since the country literally invented tea and serves it for free at every restaurant

Something about your face feels calm & invites serenity ❤

Can't believe Yerba Mate was included in this vid, I love the stuff but I would never have considered it in a tea video, seeing its more of a herbal tea than an actual black tea We drink it in Chile but mostly in the south and in private, black tea is generally king here

Watching this while sipping on tea.

Would’ve loved to see a second iteration with Mongolian, Turkish, East-Frisian [Region in Germany] tea culture and maybe some more unknown tea rituals

"We make tea with love so you feel appreciated and understand that you are important to us."
