If this comparison is confusing to you, it might be because what he was actually comparing was the affect of different leaf/water ratios and brewing times, and had nothing to do with the actual differences between brewing in glazed porcelain (the gaiwan) vs brewing in porous ceramic (the teapot). He could have done this comparison with a large gaiwan vs a small teapot and would have wound up with opposite conclusions. If you're going to compare the two, use the same amount of leaf, water, and brew time and focus on comparing what the different pottery types do to the tea

@ales3688 Год назад

In Fujian and Guangdong provinces the Taiwan brewing is always performed by throwing off the liquor of very first infusion, they say it is to clean the leaves and to hydrate those to have a better infusion.

@Nioteas Год назад

Yes, I will have to do a video on this at some point. Its not used for Japanese teas so I thought I would go ahead and drink it

@rabbitazteca23 Год назад

yeah because quality tea can produce more than 1 brew and the first one tend to be a bit "dirty" tasting for me because it has all those powdery dryness that comes with ageing tea... as such the 2nd and subsequent teas are less powdery and smoother and has the "more pure" taste of the leaves!

@bmanpura Год назад

I'm learning so much about both the tools and the teas from these videos. That gaiwan works with chrysanthemum flower tea too, maybe not perfectly. Some parts will pass through.

@Nioteas Год назад

Thank you for watching! Yes some have told me that it takes practice to keep the leaves out of the cup for some of the smaller teas but I just tend to brew those in the teapot

@ales3688 Год назад

In Fujian and Guangdong it is widely used, not only for oolong and green tea but for all the large leaves tea, which are the most part of tea quality used in that area, except for some puher teas

@@ales3688 yesssss

@shamardaniel4819 Год назад

It’s worth noting, you can do the gong fu method with a teapot. You’d just want to use either more tea or a smaller teapot.

@ales3688 Год назад

You can but it is uncomfortable due to the edge design of a teapot

@Nioteas Год назад

yes thats true it is possible. One problem could be that the pour is so slow you can't really get those super short brewings

@rabbitazteca23 Год назад

very interesting video!

@Nioteas Год назад

thank you! I'm so glad you like it. We also just released a video all about the best teapots for each tea: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YNuO96jRL3A.html

I already know all of this, but it was great. Just getting to watch you. Explain it all. You did a fantastic job too. Keep up the good work because I’m sure you helped a lot of people. I wish I had seen this video back when I first started. Lol. 👌😝💦💦

I'm so glad you liked this video! I try to make videos that talk about the things I wish I knew when I started as well. By the way, today is the last day to save 10% off on our tea and teaware during our halloween sales: nioteas.com/collections/halloween-sales

@gdvvgdfv 7 месяцев назад

I think most people don't have crazy palate sensitivity like you do and just wanna experience both. So is gaiwan more for tea connoisseurs like yourself?

@Nioteas 6 месяцев назад

The Gaiwan is a good tool but it requires a lot of effort. You're making really small amounts of tea at a time and you need to worry about lid positioning etc. I think the teapot is a better option if you are just getting started

@gdvvgdfv 6 месяцев назад

@@Nioteas I'm a tea addict anyways and wanna try something new. I'll just keep practicing and experimenting until I get it right.

@huntermiller1251 Месяц назад

Sorry it's 5 months late. I'm sure you have already figured it out by now. But gaiwans are the popular option. I have no idea about what dude is spouting about. Yixing is a lot more "advanced" in regards to clay type, size, pour speed, and heat retention. Certain teas just won't work in the yixing you have bought, so therefore, you need another. Buying a yixing, you need to pay attention to reputable sellers that won't poison you with some commodity mass-produced pot that leaches chemicals into your tea. Once you have found your teapot you then have to decide if your going to "season" it (much like cast iron) by brewing just one type of tea or if you are going to keep it clean (after every use). But as far as glazed wares, a teapot would be easier. Using a gaiwan is literally picking a size that works for you and how many people you plan to brew for picking a strainer and gong Dao bei (pitcher). At this point leaves falling in are picked up by the strainer and you will learn to control it from there. Watch a video or 2 then practice with water or jump right in to brewing and for the love of God,warm your teaware (especially yixing) before brewing tea.

@huntermiller1251 Месяц назад

Cheaper gaiwans sell for 8$ US I'm sure you can find one cheaper than that. I would NOT spend less than 100$ US on a yixing teapot. Glazed teapots are all over the place as far as price is concerned.

Thank you for watching! We specialize in Japanese green tea because that's what our company is focused on. We travel to Japan to meet with farmers and look for the best organically grown green teas! We will try to add some additional videos from time to time about other teas

@soleil5923 Год назад

@@Nioteas No that’s okay, I understand you guys specialize in Japanese tea and I honestly love the Japanese way of making tea a bit more. I really like how you explain things so that’s why I was wondering. I just ordered my sampler set, I’m very excited to try the teas finally. Again thank you for your videos and answering all my questions. You been amazing help, happy Im following a great tea channel ❤🍵

@rabbitazteca23 Год назад

@Nioteas Год назад
