Kenya is such a beautiful country ...
So much gets yaken for granted when we make a morning brew. It is good to get the education so we can appreciate how much effort goes into making a cup of tea.
It's as clear as the sun...
A long way from the plantation to the cup....
Also the rain fall distribution affects. Regular rainfall produces a larger crop, but dry periods allow the plant to rest, producing a tastiet tea with the flush when the rain comes
That’s pretty complicated. Thanks to those that pick and sort!
TFS! Your channel is SO informative & underrated!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍✌️❤️🇺🇸
This is a British documentary series that has been chopped up and put on YT. The creators need the thanks.
@@riaz8783 oooooh okay that makes sense. haha I was like how is this 20k sub youtube channel sending these people to all these countries, and getting like 5 comments
I agree I just found it and I’ve been really enjoying it
We used to have programs like this in the USA. Now look at Food Network. Nearly all competition type programming.
We mostly drink Ketepa tea. And send it to our friends who are homesick for Kenya. It is easy to find and purchase on the Internet. Now, get online and buy some.
ok boss
Looking for a good base to make my own masala chai mix. Might have to give Ketepa a try…
@@left0verture I was on a mission as the security and medical guy (we were a team of two in securing the group: senior highschool kids. Lol!). I picked up a box on my way out of country. Later, befriended a Kenyan customs officer near my home being trained/I'm 70 miles outside of Washington DC). The tea helped cute his homesickness. Now in the U. S. with his wife and children, finishing his advanced degree in international banking, I have the tea sent to his place. It's the only tea I have in my house.
This was extremely insightful!! Didn't really expect that! Thanks! :)
All these sorting and then the tea bags makers and cafe owners blend them back in....
The blends are typically to achieve certain flavors. If they weren't sorted, you'd have only one kind of tea.
All about money.
The larger pieces are worth more. This results in a greater extraction of profit than if there was no sorting.
It's like selling a comic book collection. Some may be expensive while some may be damaged, but if you didn't sort them you'd get an average rate on the lot instead of collecting the higher profits from rare books.
Hey, i may joke about this show, but this has been very informative.
It'd also be good to touch on the topic of mould developing in tea🤞
Fascinating thank you.
After seeing the thumbnail say, “That is good leaf,” my first thought was not tea.
Yes, I thought it was about tobacco.
I'll drink to that.
most common tea bags are those stems and the almost powdered siftings...
You should come to Darjeeling to know about the worlds most expensive tea.
Delicious Tea.
I drink mint tea. Good info
Winston is my man he keeps it separated
Interesting
Time to send the Bois to Kenya
That explains why most commercial tea is so horrible.
2:10 Sounds like my dealer
lmao
I always buy local made which is around 2 dollar per kilo, which the shop one cost double but is of inferior quality
Where do you live?
I love chewing loose tea leaves 🤣 whenever i go out buying loose tea leaves,i take up a pinch and chew it.. that way i know which tea is better and i can pick up my preference.(never buy tea leaves that comes in tea bags..they are inferior quality)
I agree. The first exception would be for spiced chai with milk, where you need strong tea. The other would be for when you need to put a teabag next to an aching tooth.
I wonder what happens to the rest of the tea bush. Surely the other leaves are used, too?
No not really. Even the machine harvesters just chop the top couple of inches. The bushes kind of grow like hedges, you just prune them back to get the new growth.
@@nerdy1701 Ahh, I understand! So it's not like the rest of the plant is discarded. That makes more sense. Thanks.
@@eurovision50 Yeah, the rest of the plant provides the energy for the next leaves to grow. Tea can be harvested multiple times per year.
@@eurovision50 The bottom leaves are generally more bitter than the top leaves.
Been here in Kenya for almost 11 years. I haven't converted myself into a tea lover😅too loyal for coffee 😁
🇰🇪🇰🇪
A robot with AI will replace them picking leaves .
The only thing I don't get is why they gave a guy English subtitles when he was speaking English.
@@2grips Nothing, just something I don't get.
Do you really not understand? He was speaking with an extremely heavy accent.
@@billweasley1382 They don't do that for American accents, do they?
@@havyn88 If they were incomprehensible to the intended audience, I'm sure that they would.
@@billweasley1382 sure.
why subtitle
hhhhhhhh
I would never drink tea again. Such a waste of resource
Why is it a waste ?
Just you wait until you learn about water
this guy would never eat food as it is being wasted
Do you eat avocado or almonds?
@@tw6702
Actually pea sprouts are delicious!
You don’t have to wait for actual pea beans to eat it.
You can keep on plucking the tops of pea sprouts and it will grow back (for several weeks).
So the guy says the machine harvested tea was low quality because of the stems... guess this guy hates Houjicha then.
You get what you pay for.
I think you are talking about the wrong tea. Houjicha is just roasted tea. Maybe you meant about Kukicha that has a larger portion of stems.
@@Currywurst4444 idk, all the houjicha teas I've had always had a good portion of stems in them.
