As a Chinese tea drinker, I value every sip of tea as every leaf was hand picked by the hardworking pickers & processed. The traditional houses in the village are generally well maintained & villagers earning decent money living a simple happy life. These villagers may not earned lots of money in what they do for a living but whether you are rich or not that rich or poor, good health & happiness is most important. China's have many minority tribes. Hardworking, harmony, peaceful, cooperation etc is the key. The Chinese government's efforts & the results in poverty eradication is very obvious. 🎉🎉🎉
Little Chinese Everywhere is genuine, is truthful and honestly one of the best channels on the entire internet and RU-vid. She is producing wonderful content and reporting honestly as you can see and hear. This channel makes me feel so happy to see so many beautiful people living and eating and being.
You are the perfect guide to introduce Chinese life and culture to a western audience. I have enjoyed every one of your videos that I’ve seen. I’ll probably never have a chance to visit this vast country, but your videos are almost like being there!
Dear God❤Almighty, please bless with prosperity all hardworking people on this beautiful 🥀🌏🌍🌎🌹planet! Thank❤🌹🙏 you, dear Yan! The dawn and the ☕🍵tea is wonderful!
@@littlechineseeverywhere🌹❤️🌹 Your videos are much appreciated 🌹❤️🌹 Thank you for all your traveling and editing . I hope you enjoy the adventures 🌹❤️🌹
I''m a big tea drinker so I was eagerly awaiting this episode! I live in a Vietnamese and Chinese neighborhood of my city so I will have to pick up some pu'er tea next time I'm at the store. Thank you so much for visiting these areas and sharing these stories with us!
Hello my friend , My favorite tea is Earl Grey . This was a gift to the British Crown from China , this was given to the Duke of Earl . This tea is a black mountain with bergamot citrus oil . Thanks China for this gift it is number one in the world now !!! Great video my friend I really enjoy them all . Please keep up the great work !!
Thank you Yan once more! What a lovely place is that Village! Beautiful and peaceful place. I'd love to visit those people. Thank you a lot for sharing this video! 🙏
Thanks again Granddaughter. Lovely people, hard working warm and hospitable. Willing to share their lives with you and then with all of us. Always look forward to our next adventure. Great drone footage, lovely sunset on soft foggy mountains. Thanks for sharing. Marjorie from Georgia US Safe journey til next time.🌻
Thank you so much. The air in Yunnan was not good in March and April because there were so many fires in Lao and Northern Thailand because of land clearing. As you mentioned, this year there was not much rain so the poor farmers in Lao burned a lot of forest to grow cassava but some of the fires got big and nobody could control them.
Thank you for this wonderful video. I was positively transported, and really enjoyed your production techniques. You are quite a charismatic host as well, seeing you happy makes me happy, it is fun to watch you enjoying your adventures, thank you so much for sharing them!
Lining in China, we drink tea every day, and my dad even drink tea with hot water in summer, while I love to combine tea with fruits or milk at home. We live in easten China, thus we seldom drink Puer, my dad buys both ordinary and expensive tea like Longjing, Tieguanyin, Maojian. Several years someone gifted my dad a little bit of very expensive Puer tea. Honestly they are quite good.
Yan, your journeys bring so much delight. The natural unpretentious and very sincere voice you have in speaking with every person, animal and thing is just so heartwarming. This tea chapter brought back some memories when I had travelled to Kunming Stone Forest Dali to Lijiang. Bought teas that I could never buy again anywhere. Thank you Yan... for bringing the priceless memories back to my home... Bless you
This is rather interesting & educational. Nowadays machinery has taken over tea processing but one thing never change...it is still picked by hand! Tea is so traditional & valuable that it is given as a treasured gifts in ancient China by Emperors & Kings even up to the present time.
Love your videos am a person watcher and these people are fascinating makes me wish I could just sit down with them and chat over food and tea ty so much for sharing this 💕 from Arizona USA
Thank you very much for this viewing experience. It's so easy to follow your conversations... first I can read it in the captions and then you tell me in English what you said. A non-fluent English speaker like me can easily keep up. 👍
Respect them for the hard work their tradition and wanting to live rurally. I so understand. Is without many amenities many of us take for granted daily.
Yan, definitely I enjoy your video. First video to watch on early Saturday morning, after a week long stock trading into late New York markets. First time for me to learn so much about tea, mind you I came from a culture rich in tea, Chaozhou ren. Tell you about what I learnt from my secondary school teacher, about 50 years back, and he taught me geography. To begin with, he told us that there were two types of tea, namely red and green (you mentioned here also the white one). They were all from one species, not separately for red and green. The difference came from fermentation. The West, or the English to be precise, were impatient with fermentation, as a result, their tea were acidic and bitter, and this explained why the English drank tea with milk - scratch my head, our brethren Tibetans and Mongolians also drink tea with cream. And the Chinese simply drank tea from boiling water, water is neutral in acidity from my chemistry knowledge. This knowledgeable teacher then went on to say, please do not rub politics into what I am going to tell you, that tea, coffee and cocoa and a lot of agricultural produces were produced in the third world countries (poor countries, the way I understood then), but consumed by the first world countries (rich countries). In a way, the riches lived upon the poors. My teacher indeed was a leftist. I started off as a rightist, influenced by my Chiinese teacher from Taiwan (RoC), teaching me in Laos, and this geography teacher taught me in Hong Kong. Somehow, I have the best of both worlds, and this makes me a better person, a liberal (living on trading stocks, a capitalist?). So much so, joke aside. Drinking tea from boiling water in a small cup, from small teapot, in a way a good tea ceremony - I was always the last one to have the cup, as I was young, no ranks. That reminds me of the French, who drink coffee from very small and delicate cup too. My wife then introduced me to English tea, not exactly so, it is indeed Ceylong tea, and I must give the people of Ceylong or Sri Lanka, the credit of cutting tea leaf into pieces and packing them into small cloth bag, this way more efficient, convenient and less trouble, and the pieces definitely diffuse more tea flavour. My understanding of tea may be from the mouth of my geography teacher, or from articles and books here and there I read, and from today I see the real way of preparing tea. Just feeling a bit not yet satisfied, as you have not introduced the tea ceremony, that is how tea is being served and drank, and also in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony. A lot for me to learn indeed. Just a word of caution, please discount much what I have written here, as they might not be right and correct.
the Brits smuggled tea plants out of China and then setup plantation in India and Ceylon/Sri Lanka. have you noticed that there is not a whole single leaf in the tea bag? teabag is similar to instant coffee. good quality Chinese teas never come in tea bags.
So many delicious teas in China and still produced in the traditional way. At a time of so much geopolitics and violence it's great to become immersed in your videos which bring us back to what life should be about. Every episode so well produced.
Amazing! It’s all handmade. I drink tea every day. Now I will appreciate it more than before. Thank you for this very interesting video. Greetings from Austria 🙋♀️🐶
great video as always , thanks Yan!🙏 10:45 looks like an orchid plant. Orchids are epiphytes like moss and ferns, they attach to the suface of bigger plants but do not invade the hosts, so they are not parasitic.☺️
I love your videos (and the music). This was so interesting, and I loved 'meeting' the villagers who had such expertise in harvesting and processing the tea. You do much to educate us about China, and I appreciate your dedication and effort to take us to such fascinating places.
It is such wonderful start of the day finding a new video of yours in my timeline this morning. The sweet sorrow I feel seeing the places I will never visit. 🥲
I drink a cup of coffee late here and there, but I'm a heavy tea drinker. I love 3 or 4 cups a day. It's quite labor intensive. Thanks for your lovely videos.
Awesome video! our family 's pu'er tea collection contain about 5 dozens in Canada, aged between 5 to 50 years old, pricing up to 5000USD per cake. Every time we go back to China we are gifted a lot of pu'er. Nice to see how they are grown, processed, and aged. 🔥🔥
As a tea farmers's daughter, I am surprised that tea price is insanely high out there. Everytime I leave home, my mom always packs a big bag of tea in my luggage, I can never drink that much, I share with my classmates, friends and now my colleagues.
As usual, you have again showcased the unseen China with good narratives and videos, tea making & scenic wooden houses in this particular instance. Kudos to you as an ambassador for the unseen China to the outside world ❤❤❤
👋👋 "Nihao" Ms Yan I hope you are well. As a new subscriber I am trying to see ALL your videos 😃 and in no particular order. You are an excellent AMBASSADOR of TOURISM for you beautiful enchanting country CHINA 🌸 You are my eyes, as I will never be able to visit your country at my age. But in youth I did travel. Yan I love TEA, and this video was not only educational but inspiring, but to see how hard people work, that kind of made me sad. At the same time the people that "farm tea" are so proud one has to love every one of them. Greetings and a big hug to you from Texas USA. Take good care out and about on your motorbike. ❤
I have been drinking Pu'er tea since a while, and I do love it, amazing fragrant smells, incredible aromas, comparable to wine, just like choosing the different years, locations, and it is a wonderful beneficial element. I am fond on the Chinese Culture in general, and I do appreciate a good cup of wonderful tea. I am Italian, and I used to drink coffee, in Italy it's like a religion, but since over more then a decade, I gave up, and I drink green tea, kukicha, Roibos, but Pu ' Er it's my latest enjoyment. Very nice video Yan, you are lovely.
Puh-Erh Teas go WAY BACK to the "Ancient Horse Trail" between China and Tibet, where Horses and Tea were Traded, as the Chinese needed the Strong Tibet Horses, and the Tibetians needed the Nutrients in Tea for their Good Health, because Tibet is too cold to grow any Plants, there are NONE, but Tea has all the Vitamins and Minerals the Human Body needs to maintain Good Health. It was a very Dangerous Trip, that could take a long time, so ordinary Teas would never make it without Risk of Spoiling. That is how Puh-Erh Teas really came into Good Service, by NOT Spoiling during a Long Trip, with exposure to Oxygen, because they are Fermented, and Not Oxydized, PLUS, Puh-Erh Teas are the only Tea that actually gets "better" with Age! Raw Puh-Erh Teas aren't really ready to drink, until they are at least 5 years old after being processed and pressed into "Cakes", and really good ones only start to get Really Better after 20 years. There are Puh-Erh Tea Cakes over 100 years old! Imagine what that one must be like!!!??? Plus, the Prices go UP with the Older Puh-Erh Tea Cakes too. It's not unusual for the Really Old Cakes to be in the Thousands of Dollars!!! Just make sure it was properly Stored in a Cool and Dry Storage. All the other 5 Tea Types are Oxydized, and degrade over Time, with any exposure to Oxygen and/or Moisture. Not Puh-Erh. And, most people like the Taste, Flavor, and Aroma of Puh-Erh Tea, PLUS, you can Reinfuse it many times, just by adding more Hot Water, and increasing the Brewing Time by another 30 seconds, per additional Brew. Good Puh-Erh Teas can be Reinfused 10 to 12 times, and the Newly Emerging Flavor and Aroma, changes with each Brew!!! So, that's another Big Benefit of Puh-Erh Teas. Oh, and in case you did not know, one advantage that ALL Teas have over Coffee, is you will become Relaxed, your Heart Rate will Drop, and you will Enter into a State of Peace and Restfulness, while at the same time your Brain will go into High Alert. Both Coffee and Tea have Caffeine, but only Tea's have 2 more things that Coffee does not... L-Theanine amino acids, AND Catchin Anti-Oxydation Compounds, which gives you that Restful and Relaxed feeling. Great for either a Morning, and/or Afternoon Break.
i get so excited to watch all of ur tea related videos!!!! especially this one :)) i am putting this on and sipping on some huangshan maofeng alongside it
I am so excited to discover this video! I am a new subscriber and was going to ask if you have explored tea making areas. I am so impressed by the hard work and patience, ingenuity and consistency required to produce quality tea. If I ever have a chance to travel, I would love to visit the people growing and producing tea, if just to say, thank you.
Loved this! What a great informative video and what a beautiful village full of such great culture and lovely people. Every time I brew my chinese tea I thank the farmer for his love and care of the tea trees and the lovely ladies who picked the leaves with such love and care. I've done that for years.
Amazing, beautiful video! What a wonderful window into traditional tea making in 云南. 普洱 is my favorite! I wish those hard-working people could get more of the profits though…
