San Bao | An Oolong Story 

One of the most inspiring tea stories I've seen. I was fortunate enough to watch it just as I began my own tea journey late in 2017. I'm sure I've watched this video thirty times. Gong fu tea brewing has become my daily quiet place, and Taiwanese oolongs are some of my favourites.

Thank you for this beautiful documentary. I have become very passionate about oolong tea, and this passion leads me to my daily tea ritual of brewing and drinking my tea. It is a joy to set aside time for this peaceful practice each day. I wish to learn where I can find teas to buy that are worthy of my acquired and evolving taste.

This is an excellent documentary about Taiwan’s Oolong Tea! Great job!

Thank you for beautiful tea journey 🖐🏻🤠🍵

A fine video,a fine story. Oolong. I struggled with Oolong for a while,and this is why. Oolong is like Bonsai,it can be a difficult thing if one approaches it as a difficult thing! I lost many Bonsai,and brewed Oolong badly in the past for this very reason. But when I started to approach Oolong with a combination of understanding and instinct,it all came together! I am,by no means,a tea master,but I can now make a delightful Oolong. Many of us come from tea bag cultures,so the proper means of steeping takes practice,for sure!

Great to see you again through this video. Many fond memories from Samuii. Keep spreading joy through the tea.

Tea just enfolds life; it encompasses it all. A warm and inspiring story. Thank you for sharing this passion with us :)

A very enjoyable, informative and peace sharing video. Beautiful. Thank you

Thank you for sharing a good documentary. I love oolong tea.

Still one of my favourite documentaries on tea culture 🙏🏾❤️

He has the best Oolong tea, and teapots. he's quite something!

Beautiful documentary. I've been wanting to learn about oolong teas for a while because I didn't understand the different kinds coming out of Taiwan. But now, this video really gave me so much to learn about taiwanese oolong teas.

Beautiful video. Amazing work

I am hoping you produce more videos!!! This was so informative. Thank you

I really liked your way of life. The way you found a way to live and share your passion and your calm and peaceful vision. Greatings and keep enjoying the beautiful life that you live friend!

Very inspiring San Bao and thanks for sharing this amazing introduction to Oolong at Kamalaya Koh Samui!

Thi s was an incredible doc. So inspiring and relaxing to watch while I enjoy my high mountain oolong

Fantastic introduction to Cha Tao and it's wonderful culture. What a gift. Thank you to San Bao and his friends.

Muy buen video..! Muchas gracias desde Argentina..!

beautiful story :)

Beautiful story about your journey of tea. Watched it many times as I have started my journey. Aber ist Ausgezeichnet das Sie aus Deutschland kommst und so eine Auchwachenes bekommt hast. Hoeffentlich wedern wir ein mals ins Leben treffen.

Ow iv been drinking tieguanyin oolong tea leaves since 2007 until now iv been drinkng this tea i love the aroma and its refreshing..

Im from Indonesia. There so many camellia sinensis growth here, once baked styled oolong, but not as delicious as Taiwanese or Chinesee Oolong. Maybe the key is methods of processing.

So where could I get a good well rounded Oolong tea ???

Nice video, but the claim that higher altitude oolongs are by definition better is not true. This is currently the prevailing view among many oolong drinkers, but this is a fad, rather than a fact. In reality, some of the finest oolongs are from low altitudes. For example, Dongfang Meiren is one of the greatest oolongs, and the best comes from its original region, around Emei and Beipu, at altitudes of 300m - 700m. Similarly, a good Dong Ding oolong (mentioned in the video) can readily match the high mountain teas from Li Shan or Ali Shan. This is in part because of the Dong Ding producers' mastery of baking techniques. There are many factors involved in the creation of a fine oolong, and altitude is only one of them. The nuclear green high mountain oolong teas that are currently in fashion will not be in fashion forever. I'd sooner drink charcoal-baked Dong Ding oolong or fine Dongfang Meiren than the more popular modern high mountain oolongs.

Buddha Bless

Love your video, brother! You have talent!...do you know where i can buy ooloong tea for good price?

Beautiful inspiring video! I would like to try the tea from Master Xiu (don't know how to spell his name, the person Sanbao goes to meet after 5 years). Anybody knows how to find him and his teas?

I'd love to find that golden Lilly tea? Is there a link please....?/

Dear Sanbao if you are still in Thailand can you contact me please?🙏🏻

how can i contact him ..... I wish to purchase some teapots directly from him.

For the oolong tea, the higher altitudes the better quality is not quite correct. The fact is the high altitudes Taiwanese tea quality is getting worse.
