Pu'er Tea VS Coffee WHO WILL WIN?! 

"Absolutely not. Every culture has its followers." THAT is the mindset that makes China great!

You've grown so much as a documentarian, really professional and high quality! Thanks for sharing this with us.

As a tea channel which has done a lot of filming in Yunnan and about PuErh, I wanted to reach out and say that I really appreciate the level of work that went into this one and your approach tio the subject matter. I predict big things for your channel and will follow along.

This clip is culturally informative and educative.

作为一个老普洱人（现宁洱县），乐见你的分享。又作为一个爱喝饮料的人，茶、咖啡、可可、汽水，都在我生活里和谐的共存～～～～

Ahaha I loved the italian man part since Im italian as well. I definitely want to try both the tea and coffee T.T cant wait to come to china! Awesome video also, very informative and interesting.

I seem to be one year late with these videos, but I love it! I had no idea how life in China is and your videos really gives an insight into it. As someone living in Europe I rarely hear anything positive about the country. This is really refreshing to see! Really something needed during these weird times we now live in :) As for coffee Vs tea I think they will always live side by side. As someone who has spent the past years trying to understand coffee, getting good quality tea and some basics of tea was really natural. Altough this video really shows that there is a lot I need to learn about tea xD

Please, more videos about the tea culture in China, that's a great insight for far away tea lovers ❤️🌱🙏

Another informative vlog from a very beautiful lady , compare, coffee from west and tea from east ,hoping someday west and east can really have a harmonious relationship ,no envy , no war ,no defamatory remarks only love and peace !

I'm learning about my own culture from watching Blondie's video 🍵

This is undoubtedly one of the better documentaries on Pu'er tea. I love both Pu'er tea and coffee. I have tried a few other Chinese tea, but my personal favourite is still Pu'er. Greeting from Malaysia!

How long did it take to film/edit this? Really impressive quality! Your Chinese is great btw.

Hi I'm from 昆明 and I've done some tea-trip guide here, glad to see your video and I just learn that Yunnan produces so much coffee!! Thank you so much for sharing this

This is slowly becoming one of my favourite channels on RU-vid... well done keep up the good work!

Some People from Northeast India migrated hundreds year ago from Yunnan

Wow this was a great episode! Amazing production value, story telling, and just awesome hosting. You are so compelling and likeable to watch. And your interviews were intriguing; the subject matter you covered and what you got the interviewee to share were great.

Really interesting and educational. Thanks for making such a creative and informative video. Excellent job!

This really exemplifies Chinese culture and China, where old and new, traditional and modern, and the young and the old, can all coexist in harmony and with mutual respect. You have brought this out beautifully through your videos and are are doing such a great job. Thank you so much!

Your channel is of superb quality! It’s obviously you put a lot of heart into making your videos

Honestly, your videos are so informative 👏🏻 I love learning about Chinese culture. Thank you for the time you take to make and then share these videos 🤗

我是滴滤咖啡的深粉，普洱的咖啡也有尝试，对比非洲，比如埃塞俄比亚的耶加雪啡，客观的说，尚有欠缺，但是，品质已经很好了，假以时日，云南咖啡一定会脱颖而出，期待这一天！

Had to subscribe - I love documentaries, and your short videos are very well made! I also live in China now and always watch videos about it!

Bravo! This was a really well-done video. Definitely of high enough quality to rival many of the documentaries produced by the BBC. It was not that long ago that I discovered Pu'er at one of my favorite tea stores (but they no longer have any shops). Pu'er was definitely a unique experience that I was not accustomed to; however, my pallet grew to both accept and really love it.

Love your video. I stay in Kunming, Yunnan, and I love both tea and coffee. I studied tea in a tea expert school(like a training small class that you can get in Kunming), I can definitely tell and admire the Puer tea now, it's more about a kind of attitude for life, you can tell the different layers of flavour (the tea go through your throat, you can feel it in your tongue, your teeth, the entire mouth, and finally your whole body, in my opinion, these feelings need to be trained. Because I can't feel it in that way till trained.) and I drink it everyday. Good for keeping the body shape, and keep the mind clear like the coffee does. If you buy good quality like 老班章laobanzhang, or 冰岛Bingdao, It's expensive, and I choose like 贺开Hekai, 帕莎Pasha, less expensive, about 1200RMB for1 kilo. And I love it, you can buy like RMB300 in bulk, and drink already a long time, strong tea is only for taste not good for body, so light tea need less tea leaves. Remember to take care of the tea leaves, broken tea leaf can add bitter and astrictive taste to that. I also love coffee, after having all that good espresso in Rome, so I got a good coffee machine, My coffee bean was from BaoShan, Yunnan, very good quality, very fresh and cheap(1kilo about RMB 70，can be bought in Taobao.) Coffee for the morning, and a tea cup with me for work. so nice.

Really like your videos! Beautifully edited. I've never been to Yun Nan, would love to go someday. Thank you so much =)

This is the best video ever made. This channel deserves more subscribers!

This is so great! I loved this video I'm from china and my dad is a tea expert and me and him would sit down every day and drink Pu'er tea and read a talk and keep posting!

I agree that tea is not going anywhere anytime soon. Actually, tea culture has grown exponentially here in Mexico City since the 90's. Which is great, cos I love tea. I do think however that it's kind of sad that some people seem to regard tea as boring, old-fashioned, not hip enough or even bland. It is just generally underappreciated, and tea has so much to offer. To me tea trains you to appreciate subtlety, delicate aromas and fine tones. I like coffee too, but for me, tea is always gonna be my poison.

This vlog is really amazing and is in a very high quality in every aspect!

I love this! As a die hard Tea and coffee fan, i enjoyed every minute of this documentary.

WOW, this vlog is really of high quality. The commentary, background music and way of presentation are very professional. I enjoy it. Thank you for sharing it, and also thank you for loving China : )

Wow! Two of my most favourite drinks! HAHA great video. Btw, your Chinese is so good.

you have great content definitely deserves more recognition. Glad I found your channel

Wow! I can see that this video is very special and different from your other personal travel or life vlogs! It definitely seems like a mini documentary to me, with a topic sentence (the question), process/experiment from interviewing tea experts and the public & doing field research (visiting the actual tea field yourself); to reaching a conclusion and prediction! Great job~

Hey. Greetings from a fellow-Australian! Great video. This is the first of your videos I have come across and was impressed. I am a huge fan of Chinese tea, especially Pu-erh and oolong. Just a little note: the city of Pu'er was not named after the tea but vice versa - the tea was named after the city. Interestingly, the city's name was changed to Simao in 1950 (during the Chinese Civil War) but in 2007 the city's name was changed back to Pu'er. I wish I could speak and understand the Chinese language as well as you do!

Very interesting. Never knew coffee being grown in China.

Woah! I love the black and white outfit you wore in the tea field! Gorg!! Such an interesting and informative topic too!

that was really informative about tea and coffee in china. always love your unbiased videos about china. keep it up!

Thx for share your experience of my hometown to the world. Really appreciate.

Wow! I didn’t know Yunan grows coffee, now I need to go there 😊 Thanks for sharing

Hong Kong has ended the tea vs coffee war by just mixing both into the same cup and called it Yuenyeung

good job and nice documentation...I like it so much...a lot of knowledge

Another great informative video! I loved the ending opinions about the future of tea!

very high quality, Such interesting and educative! I have learn a lot! thx

Impressive content! Thanks for sharing!

Fascinating! I had no idea China had such a booming coffee industry. This video just popped up as a recommended video on my feed and it was great! Pardon me while I go explore the rest of your videos now 😄

Excellent, fun, informative video! Yunnan is my second home since 2012 as my partner is from Pu'er County and I actually only know one person from Yunnan who drinks coffee, the rest just drink tea and that suits me perfectly as I'm a weird Swede (Sweden is one of the world's number one coffee drinking countries) who doesn't drink coffee. I bring home lots of tea produced from ancient tea trees so that I can drink that back home when others drink coffee. I've seen quite a few coffee plantations in Yunnan and seen a temple where the whole temple yard was covered in coffee beans left to dry, but I've been told its not profitable and that the coffee growers really struggle to sell their beans, while I've met dozens of people who got rich or even super wealthy from tea trading, for example some locals on Jingmai Mountain with its ancient tee trea forest. Watching this video, I realize I hadn't gotten the whole picture regarding coffee and its popularity in China. I'm curious now and will find out more next time I'm there. I did try Yunnan coffee once and have a bag of it at home and I enjoyed it more than I had expected, but I much prefer Pu'er tea.

I'm Chinese tho born & raised in Sydney. Watching your vids & seeing how immersed into Chinese culture you are has literally made my week.

Love the video. I used to live in east China but never got to travel west. I'll probably pop over for a visit in the future. Even in tiny Weihai, there were maybe three Starbucks, as well as 10 or so Bread'N cafes, and a variety of different family-owned dessert cafes that served their own homebrewed coffees. The culture in China is definitely changing. It's ironic, though, that everyone equates coffee with being a mostly western drink. Yes, it is popular in Europe and the Americas. However, coffee trees have been growing in East Africa forever and it was the West Asian countries like Yemen and Turkey that made it into a drink first from what I've read. It's from the Arabic word قهوه "qahwah".

With 3 hours I finished watching your video, I am chongqing person, I like your video, also very happy you like China and Chinese culture, it is also very much like you to let more Chinese people and foreigners understand Chinese culture and Chinese cities, you let me out of the Chinese know we also so many cities in China and history and culture, thank you very much.

Great video! I actually learnt something from it. When it comes to tea, the older the tree, the better tasting its leaves!

I used to live in Kunming. I love that place! I’m a little strange because I actually add my pu’er tea with my espresso. You should try it as well. It’s a harmonious infusion. 😊

Can you do a video on Kaiping, Taishan, Enping? Most immigrants that left China in the 80's to early 2000 for Australia, Canada and USA came from this area.

Excellent presentation. I love the 'boots on the ground' style of your documentary.

Amazing content with all your videos.. they're like little rays of sunshine in my everyday life at the moment. 🌞😄

Great video! I've been drinking pu-'er tea since a visit to China about 15 years ago when I tasted it and never looked back. Also love a good cup of coffee and would never give up one for the other. That would be like saying, "Well, I drink wine, so why would I drink beer?" It's true - two completely different markets.

Stunning video！The coffee beans from Yun Nan has such a nice flavour and aroma even I am living in NZ which has heaps fantastic coffee culture, still missing the flavour from beautiful Yun Nan.

Great video, fascinating. Really got into the tea culture when I was in China, though a strong puer is really an acquired taste, muddy river water springs to mind :-) But really, great quality video from story, production, editing, interviews etc. If only all RU-vid videos were like this

You have done lots of effort to present a good video, thank you for promoting Chinese culture!

Lovely documentary! In Hong Kong half tea, half coffee drinks are quite popular. I tried it once. Loved it!

Oh Amy, this is such a great video!

Love your content so much! Makes me homesick.

Good job, Amy, on your excellent documentary on the fascinating culture shift of China from the perspective of traditional beverages - very informative and intriguing. You have piqued my interest in the 普洱 coffee now. I find your videos always thoughtful and informative.

Well done, Amy. Fantastic job! If you are ever back in Kunming and want to catch up with another couple of Aussies for a coffee/tea, let me know.

You have a beautiful smile and an infectious laugh. 😊 Great show!

You are so underrated, really professional. Keep up the good work!

That was very enjoyable to watch! I didn't know Yunnan grew coffee and that it was that big of a thing. I personally love Pu'erh, actually drinking one right now, and I'm a tea guy but that Yunnan coffee sounds really interesting. I might need to get my hands on it :D

As a Chinese I'm actually been educated by your videos and why are you so beautiful with such bright smiles, kinda addicted to it....

Those smiles and laughters at the end, precious!!!!! :D

I'm from Costa Rica ✨ this was so interesting to watch. Enjoyed every second.

Thank you for giving us good information.

As a chinese who drinks pu'er and coffee regularly, I find this video entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work :)

Hi. Great video, thank you 🙏 Few things just for your information, PuErh is named after City of PuErh not other way around, it have been changed to city of Simao at some point but with PuErh growing popularity they came back to it’s original name. Also PuErh is as much big leaf variety (camellia sinensis assamica) as processing and terroir (must be coming from Yunnan), so technically you can make any kind of tea from it, thus PuErh doesn’t just grow, it’s made into PuErh. Looking forward to more of your videos 👌

omggg it feels like im watching travel channel ur video is awesome!! im a big tea lover! i love puer tea!! so healthy !! i also love coffee too and never knew they grow coffee there hahaa!! really great video!! subbed!! ❤️👍

Hi Amy! I came across your channel and got hooked! I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last two days! I’m a Chinese living in Melbourne for over 15 years and I’ve learnt a lot about China from your videos. You most certainly have talents in storytelling. If you ever want to do some videos about another famous Chinese tea Oolong tea in Fujian (Such as Dahongpao 大红袍), or the city of Xiamen or Wuyishan where the famous 大红袍 comes from, I will be delighted to connect you to someone who might be able to help.

WOW, the quality of your video is very professional, or even better than those from TV stations or travel marketing vlog.

I am Chinese ，but I do not like Pu‘er，it taste like medicine，but I like green tea and some tea like “铁观音” “大红袍”， also， coffee also one of my favorite drinks.

My God it look a so much like a Discovery world Documentary it’s so professional. I am impressed 🤗🤗

I literally just WeChatted my Chinese friends today from the USA asking them what kind of tea I had brought back with me after living in Shenzhen for a year. It had been a gift to me ... it was Pu'Er tea! What a coincidence this video popped up for me. Excellent video- subscribed!

Puer is my go to black tea. Espresso tastes like sour dirt to me. Aussie flat white is about the only coffee I can enjoy. Another great video Ames!

puer tea is my favourite tea, it has a really unique , elegant taste which distinguishes itself from all the other teas!just love it!

I'm a fan of your video, it's short and to the point.

Wow, Your video is invested in your heart and sincerity. I am very moved.

Pu'er Tea is good for health tho ;p I like both

Actually Yun'Nan is one of the biggest coffe bean exporter in the world, many famous coffee shops including Starbucks buys crazy amount of Yun'Nan coffee bean, but unfortuantely ,for whatever reason, they don't tell their customers or label them accordingly.

Your every video looks like a real documentary. I can't image how many materials you have prepared to make each video!

Plus 100 points for Puerh. Great video.

不错的视频，制作和字幕挺走心的，👍茶的品种有很多种，普洱茶是熟茶，我个人比较喜欢碧螺春，铁观音，金骏眉，绿茶🍵，其次就是老家传统罐罐茶（煮茶）。

This is my favorite video you've done. I'm a puerh enthusiast!

thank you for existing!!!

Your video is getting more professional! Can't believe I know some of my home country from a blondie lol Love it! Thanks for sharing

Loved the video! Made me even more interested in going to Yunnan

You really pick interesting topics to cover in your videos! Had no idea that coffee is actually being grown in China on an industrial scale. Greetings from a Ukrainian in Shenzhen:)

oh ! u just have a right old gent. to comment on both puer tea and coffee. I totally agree with him about the value of tea. I had no idea the coffee trees have been planted in Yunnan more than half century ago.

Well made video, great shots too

Wow that was very informative. I didn't know they grow so much coffee in China. ☕

The BGM is good. Makes this vlog like a documentary.

I drink coffee and tea and my favourite tea is Lapsang Souchong but I am curious to try Pu'er Tea.

Absolutely love this video of you🌿☘🍀!!!💘💗

Follow your journey.So enjoyable. I drink both .I think Chinese tea is good after taking Chinese or oily food .Like cleansing my throats .Coffee is a must ever morning..Thank you for educational VDO
