I am so freaking thrilled you restocked the tea resin! I immediately bought a 100 count. I love them and they will make working a 12 hr hospital shift much more zen. Thanks so much!
Chinese tea culture is very refined and sophisticated. It has thousands of years of history and tradition behind it. It is really nice that a non-Chinese can appreciate it as well as you do. We Chinese are always willing to share with others as well as learn from others. Thank you for your videos.
A lot of the culture was lost, it had to be picked back up from people who had traveled to the US before the revolution, or like ancient Chinese medicine? They had to get all that information from the Epidees, because during the cultural revolution almost all that knowledge and practitioners were killed and destroyed
Hi @jesseteahouse love your content! Could you say something about the use of pesticides on tea in China? I love tea from China but I know that at least in agriculture in China, farmers use a lot of pesticides
Stupid question i know but if you did 2 steps can you save the t tea leaves for later? I'm guessing not because it's exposure to air and potential for something nasty to grow but just curious
Another American that also prefers Celsius? I'm considering the kettle(s) on the webstore but unsure if I have to switch it to Celsius every time I turn it on.
it has F settings too and it just stays wherever you put it. so if you set it to F it will just stay there, I learned all my tea stuff in china so I just use C
I unfortnatley don't have a chinese tea shop around me, what would you recommend as a small inexpensive set for someone wanting to try it for the first time?
He said that in one of his other videos, that when you open up the tea, you do have to drink everything in one day because you can't leave it overnight (probably looses its flavor that way)
@lifeless5064 also he says it's worrisome for mold growing after 24 hrs. I've done it a few times and it has had plenty of flavor but mold isn't worth risking
I wish gongfu was easier to get into in these backwoods towns in southeast Ohio. Everything I use has to always come off the internet and that aspect of this daily routine I've developed bums me out. But I love it too much to stop lol
How would you relate this to your orange Pu'er? That was a very unique flavor that I did not expect. Very earthy and musky or malty maybe? My wife was not a fan 😅 I assume it's an acquired taste.
That first steep's bitter (washes out the tannins first), and the whole ceremony is about serving you and your guests something that's good. You don't want to drink something that doesn't taste good, and you CERTAINLY don't want to give it to your guests. Therefore, it gets poured away - and because you've separated out that first bitter steep, the second one will be both sweeter, but also more flavourful (leaves have opened up more) 😊
