Wuyi Yan Cha has become one of my fav kind/class of dark Oolong teas! Early on (when I first started tasting teas) it didn't really appeal to my tastes much, but Now after years of various tea-tastings, my palette has evolved... When you drink really well-made, highest quality Yan Chas, it truly can be an unmistakably delicious, deeply complex tea! I highly recommend every tea-lover explore these, if the opportunity arises! Thanks
The cherry storm is easily in the top 3 of my favorite teas you distribute! Possibly in top 10 of my favorite teas of all time, in fact. A very well crafted experience.
the guy does know how to sell a tea
Meileaf teas dont dissapoint...what he says usually are spot on.
There may be a tea that doesn't fit your preferences but I have tried quite a number of his and I can confirm that I was satisfied by the overwhelming majority. Plus if you drink a tea while watching him and saying what he can get out of it you will find the notes which helps you learn quicker. I still get what you meant though
@@Jg-hg5ch Have you tried his snake oil tea from 10000 year old trees? The guys a con man
@@33s60 Honestly, what the hell difference does it make what age the trees are? The overwhelming majority of reports on his teas by his customers are of great satisfaction. His selection has basically no duds and justifies the small premium you pay.
@@DrinkWater713 if a jeweler said their product was 24 carat and it was 12, that would be a problem.
Right when I break into a fresh bag of RG, you hit us with this. Very cool.
Funny coincidence: I drank a rou gui a couple days ago, and thought it certainly had a tart cherry note.
I got so caught up this video i just left my green tea brew for like 10 minutes
astringency hits
Power brew 😄
Don is using the word Petrichor slightly wrong here, he got it the wrong way round. It is does actually mostly refer to the smell of soil and not rock (even if 'petr' comes from the greek word for rock, strange naming decision). The smell is a combination of oils that plants secrete out into the earth from their rots and by-products from bacteria that live in the soil. When it rains the air in the soil is displaced by the water and the air is pushed up and out of the ground. The aerosols then get dispersed in the open where we can smell them. It is especially noticeable at first rainfall after a period of dry weather. It smells different from the wet asphalt smell you often get in cities. Suburbs can have some of it, but it is not a full hit like you will experience it if you are out in woodland.
Think I'm gonna have to order some Don 👍😊... Will help to comfort me in this lockdown No. 3! 😃
Just watched your blooper video from 2018! ...... sooòooo funny💚💕
Great video Don. Very informative. I love your teaching style and would love to try this tea!
Awesome! I had to open up my 2018 Pouch of Iron Monk from Mei Leaf to drink with don. Def! adding this to the collection.
Finally! For the year divides nicely through spring greens, summer Dancongs, Black and puerh autumn and winter yenchas! Bur seriously, Rou Gui i just great anytime! Gonna try this one!
Great video Don!
I think animal crackers would be one of the closest things in the U.S. to the backbone which you were talking about in this tea! :)
nice, ive been waiting on a new tea release :)
Hi, Thanks for all your videos and your passion ! I've been following it for nearly two years, for the teas, the chinese culture and to learn english, and still loves it as much as the first day !
I'm drinking lots of different teas, but I encounter a problem, which I believe you've never lingered upon : I live in an area where water is very rich in calcium carbonate (french jura), that seems to interact very badly with teas. But I'd like to avoid bying lots of plastic bottles or disposable filters so... What are in your oppinion the best means of softening the water to make it suitable for tea ? What are chinese living in Ca-rich regions doing ? Boiling it makes part of Ca precipitate... Storing it ? any other ideas ?
Keep up with the quality of your videos !
In Israel we have very hard water.
Within just a few boils the calcium shows, at my parents house it gets ridiculously thick much faster.
I just use a Brita jug filter. It gets rid of all the calcium buildup.
Ofcourse it's an expense but so much cheaper than hauling bottled water which also had calcium in it.
Haven't found a better solution, if you do please let me know.
@@reubenk1615 Thanks for your response ! I had some concerns for the pace at which I'll need to change the filters ; also I red these filters add other elements to the water... I guess I'll try some experiments, in the hope to come up with the best and simplest method.
@@mowgli__383 I change the filter every two months as opposed to the recommendation, flow may decrease but it doesn't bother me.
As it is I only use it for boiling water for tea.
After a while the top where water is placed gets yellow mineral deposits, but hey, it's not in my tea.
You're very welcome
Loving the videos!
You know so much about Yancha.
I'm enjoying your RUclips channel in South Korea. Unfortunately, there are often word that are hard to understand. It is also because I am not good at English. "rou gui" was meant to refer to 肉桂. I don't know what "Yan Cha" means(means 武夷岩茶?)
@Fung Ying Cheng Oh, I think I know what you mean. Thank you:D
@meileaf #meileaf I had no idea you owned your own tea this is a dream come true your videos and knowledge is amazing so I can only imagine your making quality tea. I've been looking for an amazing brand I can trust and so far that's teapigs, valley of tea and i imagine mei leaf can't wait to try.
Can I ask how covid is affecting deliveries if you accept deliveries.
Hi. Covid is causing some delays depending on the country but all shipping is going worldwide and you will receive your goodies!
@@MeiLeaf Thanks very much 🙏 I'm considering asking a family member for a Brita water filter for my birthday since I have tea so often and a lot of people say hard water isn't good for tea
would love to try and work with tea/tea shop to see if it is as amazing as it looks :D
This tea sound amazing
Thanks for this great Video. I love yan cha and this looks like a great Tea. I'm just afraid about ordering Tea from England to Europe (Germany) because of the Brexit. Do you know what I would have to expect if I order Tea and Teaware from you? Will there be problems with customs and extra costs?
Hi. There should not be any customs charges due to the free trade deal. We do not charge any sales tax anymore to EU clients but you may be charged the German sales tax on the goods depending if they choose to stop the parcel. From my recollection this is about 7% on tea and your usual sales rate on teaware.
Great, thank you for this fast answer :)
I do admire your knowledge about tea...but all i want is just nice cup of tea very dark !!! with a nice slice of toast and real butter...is it to much to ask?
Interesting. Thanks.
Yay new video!!!
I'm looking for a tea with a blend of clove, cinnamon and oregano flavor and aroma. Which teas would you recommend?
If you are serious, then you can actually search his site by tasting note. If I'm not mistaken.
Would be nice if you had gaiwans with the art work but without the hash tag. Totally ruins them for me.
The blue ones look really good as well but are sold out.
Wu we
You know all the secrets of yancha, how?
do a free shipping promo please ! or a new customer promo for free shiping! its a new year!
A bit of a random question here but any tea recommendations to fight panic attacks? I used to drink between one or two liters of tea before going to bed (I don't recommend it) in combination of me being in a stressful time in my life, which caused me to have panic attacks and not being able to sleep for hours. I am now looking for replacement teas or tisanes, something to actually calm me down.
Valerian is the most effective tisane for calming, with chamomile and lavender also pretty popular
I know it is not a waterinfusion but I would might try cbd, the not psychoactive but medical compound of cannabis
hi meileaf actually lets you sort for stress relief as an effect of tea. GABA teas are reputed to be very calming, and some japanese green teas helped me sleep some years ago when i was having similar issues
WHAT ABOUT WEED 🍵
I'm sure the overlap between those who can appreciate good leaves and good buds is massive
@@osuasheuatl also like to get a nice ripe puerh and throw some mushrooms in with it
I thought that most of the compounds that you would want to extract are not water soluble. And I'd also have thought that just the heat from the water isn't enough to decarb the components thoroughly.
Does tea actually work?
@@FaceEatingOwl weed tea works if you decarb it, like you said, in something fatty like milk. also in India there is a drink called Bhang thats sorta like a cannabis shake. Now I'm wondering if anybody had ever made bulletproof coffee with cannabutter..
My Rou gui tastes like a light da hong pao.
make some video about milk tea please, that the most common way of drinking tea now, i think people will watch more if u make some video about what they need.
He has! -> --ruclips.net/video/5RD79115D3g-/видео.html-
@@user-mp8tm1yi5f there is many way of making milk tea and he only up 1 video :(( and make a lot of pure tea video , it just put water into tea and he make a lot of video about this :((
each drink in diferent shop have there own taste, but 1 kind of tea just have 1 taste
@@centuruslee There are hundreds, if not thousands of videos out there about how people prepare their bubble tea, their builders tea, their masala chai etc. If you want to watch that, go watch those videos. This channel is about tea in its unadulterated form. I personally like it that way, and would stop watching if that changed.
I also have to disagree with you that on kind of tea has just one taste. One manufacturers Earl Grey blend, Tieguanyin or as Don talkes about here, Wuyi Yan Cha, can taste different from the next manufacturers version of the same type. Often I find it is the milk teas that taste the same because they are so ladened with milk and sugar that they tast of nothing else, the tea itself is totally overpowered.
You are barking up the wrong tea tree pal
