I just want to say that a lot of people have told me "I hate green tea" (in the USA). I used to wonder why, but then I realized that I had never tried "cheap Chinese green tea", so I did. Horrible stuff. Once you try good Japanese green tea, it changes you. Ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha green tea, for example, is lightyears ahead of pretty much every other form of matcha green tea you will come across. A lot of places that make matcha green tea products (drinks, smoothies, etc) use cheaper grades and the other ingredients in the product usually cover up the poorer quality, but there is nothing like a cup of proper matcha green tea. I have yet to be able to get hold of high-quality sencha, but it is on my to-get list. I also plan on getting my own tea plants to try my hand at making my own sencha. To anyone who thinks green tea is gross, they should really try proper green tea. I presume there are higher and lower qualities of black tea, but I'm not much of a black tea drinker.
you prolly dont care but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Ashton Quincy i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Im from the U.S never been to Japan, never really drank tea, still big on coffee. But for a couple years now I have been buying japanese green tea from some of these farms. I notice I lose weight faster drinking Japanese green tea. They work hard through a whole process making the tea have more nutrients then anyother and I think that contributes to faster weightloss. Its beautiful what they do and I dont mind paying the extra money for the tea after learning about the whole process.
I’m an avid tea lover and in my quest to learn more n more about tea , I stumbled upon this beautifully captured, informative documentary yours. Great job.
Thank you so much! I like to think we've gotten a lot better at video production, so if you like this one I think you'll really love our updated version "secrets of green tea"
It's good that the Japanese teas I bought last year are organic. At the tea shop where I bought my green tea, they sell a lot of organic Japanese teas, 128 organic tea, I also counted the larger packs, so there are slightly fewer varieties and 20 non-organic teas.
Nearly all Japanese tea is organic. The organic label is just used as a way to increase profits for often lower quality stuff. The farmers have to pay in order to get the label.
@@mpk6664 I know that some farmers cannot afford organic certification, but still, many teas grown for soft drinks and cheap supermarket teas in Japan are rather not grown without pesticides from chemical companies.
This is so cool. I’ve always been fascinated by tea since I was a kid. There was this really high end Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles and my family and I would go there on special occasions. I remember loving the tea that was already on the table ready to go as soon as you sat down. It was really great. This video is really amazing. Great job!
i love tea, i grew up in south africa drinking Ceylon tea, we drink our tea the English way, black tea with milk! i love tea and drink it black or with milk, but no sugar in my tea! i like watching this, i dont like green Japanese or China tea, lol i think i am to used drinking it the english way!! Going to make a nice cup of tea now!! btw i also dont like ice tea, i prefer a warm cup of tea!
Hey guys. Love your videos. I watched all of them. I just love when people are passionate about something. You guys rock. Maybe we can meet up one day and enjoy a nice cup of tea together. All the best for ur future and keep up the good work
I love your videos and most especially your dedication to supporting the independent small organic tea farms and producers! And BTW, I also LOVE the tea that I have found on your website! Top quality and delicious. Thanks so much and ATB.
Thank you so much for supporting us! Let us know if you need any help or recommendations :) we also have a more recent tea documentary here: ruclips.net/video/8U3tT7tW_BI/видео.html
I once went to a teashop many years ago and I had the most wonderful Jasmine green tea I've ever tasted! That teashop closed down and I had spent many years searching for green tea mostly in the prepackaged box stuff made in America. Everyone I tried tasted like dirt and Earth and was absolutely awful. It was not until this last November that I discovered tea-seller that imports authentic Jasmine green tea. From that I have tried quality black tea, oolong tea and white tea. I discovered every type of tea bought from this store that imported it that nothing pre-packaged could ever compare. Every single tea that I tasted changed my whole perspective on the package tea that I have known my whole life. Many people that try the package tea and have a bad experience most likely will never experiment with anything beyond what is at the supermarket and that is so sad. Drinking quality tea for me has turned into a ceremony that is so beautiful again and I'm so happy I'm not limited to that junk in boxes.
Yes I feel the same exact way! Everyone is perplexed that we can care so much about tea because they think that there is nothing beyond the bagged stuff you get in grocery stores. There is a huge world of tea that opens up once you go beyond these and it can be a really exciting process to explore and learn different kinds. We would love for you to try our teas some day and let us know what you think about them: nioteas.com/collections/sencha-tea
I really enjoy watching you and your videos. There’s only one thing I enjoy more and that’s your Gyokuro lol 😝 Btw,,, I know you were speaking in jest , but how does it rain 35 days a month? LMAO 🤣
I love the Cha Maijin tea by mr sakamoto! Hes great! I wish to see more content on him he really is a legendary farmer!⭐⭐⭐ i will always monthly order his cha maijin tea ! But sometimes i will buy more packs because i tend to drink alot of it from time to time! Generally all tea from nio are top notch, im just getting started with the others like okumidori and saemodori senchas, i will always buy teas from nio! You are what got me into loose leaf teas and many more!😇
thank you so much Bruce! We are so glad you are enjoying the teas. if you are able to leave us a review on the website we would really appreciate that. Please feel free to reach out to us if there is ever something we can do for you
Will done! But it would be nice some day to try Mr Sakamoto's Matcha Green tea! i know it will be great! Maybe you could try selling Sakamoto matcha samples to see if it goes viral, i would be the first person to buy it for sure!
I hope i am🧘♂️! Im excited none the less🔥! the work you do honestly is Enough! :) im enjoying all the Teas especially sencha! Saemodri is Great!! and okumidori! I shared Murasaki with a friend and she loved it!! Said it smelled fruity and we even tasted the fruityness blend with vegetable notes, and like a pinch of grassyness to leave a more Balenced finish!, and the flavor in all the Teas is just a World of its its own Variety! 🤔😇
I hope that changes ! Hopefully more people drink green tea ! I never wouldve known these kinds of tastes/Teas exsisted until i found nioteas! Perfect for exporting fresh Japanese goodness!🍵
So what brands of green tea are the best if going to a supermarket store in USA 🇺🇸 what do you recommend as the best to buy? As a lot of green teas are not Japanese here or are low quality! How do you know the real from fake stuff?
yes the teas you find in grocery stores are usually low quality so that's why we sell online. You can try the teas we mention in the videos at nioteas.com and we can ship it to you for free!
Strange at the first tea house that it started with the best and not, as usual, the best comes to the end, i.e. that starts with a lower quality and ends with the best.
@@chrisg4578 you can look on the pack to see if it is JAS certified. It should have the logo, otherwise they should specifically mention that it is pesticide free. Unfortunately only like 4% of Japanese tea is organic so we are trying to change that
@@Nioteas Issaku is proud masterpiece premium green tea created by Farm Master Mr. Arahata at Arahataen Green Tea Farm. If you are looking for the best, traditional, and authentic Japanese green tea online, you have found it. Issaku is the highest-grade tea available from Arahataen, and, due to the complex and long process of creating the tea, only a limited quantity is available to produce every year. This tea is rare, even in Japan to enjoy. ^^^^ All of that is copied and pasted from the website. Have you heard if this tea or farm?
Wow. This needs millions of views, not thousands. I don't know if the algorithm buried this, but it needs to see sunlight.
thank you! If only it worked that way :)

Make more documentaries like this please
yes we have 2 other ones Quest for Tea 2 and Secrets of green tea
You can eat the leaves? So I could leave the leaves in the cup and drink it?
you can also blend the leaves into a smoothie. Make sure they are organic!
@@Nioteas Is issaku organic? Seems like its very high quality. Ive been buying from japanesegreantea.com.

Is that new type of tea mention in 27:57 available yet?
that's a good question! We'll have to check on this
9'28 --> fukumushi cha ? how is it something different from a fukamushi ?
It isn't. Cha just means tea, so Fukamushi cha is the same as fukamushi tea. Hope that helps
@@BoredCuttlefish I know :) I heard Fukumushi (instead of fukamushi) in the movie. Is it some audio bug or is it something else... That's my question
@@Master2DRC oh, sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm pretty sure it's just a mistake
@@BoredCuttlefish no worries, I wasn't that clear either :)
Lucie Pinzano hi Lucie - thanks for the comment. It was a fukamushicha. You are absolutely right.
It could be awesome if you actived the subtitle option, I mean that if you let anyone could add some subtitles, I could add Spanish subtitles
it has been added :)
The audio is so bad on this, I am not going to finish watching it.
yes I know I have to redo it. This will come soon
The number of ads is just awful. I.refused to.watch the entire video.
I am sorry to hear that
