How Puerh Tea is Made in Jingmai 

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

Absolutely! Lots of love for the tea pickers.

Thanks for watching! Yeah baby boss makes sure that people know she is there overseeing everything. Jingmai is gorgeous country!

Saw pictures from wuyi once with green snakes in the trees... On top of that spiders and insects.. respect for the people picking tea

Yeah that hit me as humorous at the time. :-D

I love aged Jingmai!

Working on it!

That's true. They do a good job eating the other bugs and they leave the tea leaves alone.

The question about sunny days is a good one. It depends. A lot of places do the sun drying under a transparent roof that still gets heat on cloudy days. That stretches the definition of sun dried somewhat. Most quality production is done before the season where the rain and clouds come. We have a number of Jingmai production teas on the site; Midas Touch, Jingmai LOVE, and Honeybomb. We don't have anything specifically from Yiwu at the moment. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@@CrimsonLotusTea thank you very much for the reply :) I’ve decided to pick up a sampler of the 2020 teas as well as 20g of altered state and 20g of KLQM Radio. I‘m most interested in slumbering dragon after checking out more of your teas and RU-vid videos. Are your samples a 95%+ accurate representation Or are they different than full cakes because of differing storage conditions? I am not quite familiar with how samples are being produced, are they stored as a cake and then broken off as they’re about to be shipped? Or are they taken from cakes and then put into a bag where they remain until they’re being shipped? Would that even make a difference in flavor? I just remember one sample from another vendor drying out and tasting quite a bit off (it didn’t even taste like Puer anymore) so I eventually stopped buying samples and just went for yolo full cakes from then on. I‘ll move to a new place in 3 weeks, so I’ll wait until I’m at my new place before placing the order, it’d feel a bit risky otherwise especially with German customs involved. May you and your loved ones be well, thanks for taking the time to produce all this amazing content :)

@@axmy1776 That's a good question. Our cakes and samples are about as close to the same as we can make them. We make new samples maybe once a month and we take them from the same cakes that we sell. They're about as close to the cakes as possible, but variations can and will occur.

@@CrimsonLotusTea thank you :) I ordered some samples yesterday, I’m looking forward to trying your teas!

@@axmy1776 Thank you so much!

White tea is probably the easiest to make. Hongcha and sheng are probably pretty close. Hongcha doesn't do pan frying as far as I know. Longjing is pretty intensive work by hand too. I don't know as much about yancha production.

It's hard to describe. It's very bright, vibrant, and fresh. It can almost be overpowering. It's a truly amazing aroma.

@@CrimsonLotusTea thanks I'm just starting out with tea I roast my own coffee and I could would think it's like that where name brand coffee now taste like dirt to me

@@joshtanjner4399 That's exactly it! It is a delicious problem to have. :-D

@@CrimsonLotusTea hey bud I have a question about teapots I do alot of camping do have any recommendations on a teapot for hiking camping and maybe a tip for keeping tea when out in the bush

@@joshtanjner4399 Most of the small clay teapots can work as long as you keep a cloth between the lid and the teapot. Otherwise the motion can make them break. For tea storage I would just use a ziploc type sealing plastic bag.
