- In this video, So Han discusses fresh White Tea. White tea is raw tea, or tea that never undergoes the Sha Qing process, which would lock in an oxidation level by denaturing the enzyme Polyphenol Oxidase. Being uncooked, White Tea will continue to oxidize, slowly, as it ages. There are many grades of White Tea, typically organized by bud content. All bud teas, called dān yá 單芽 ("Single Bud"), like White Hair Silver Needle, are the highest grade. The middle grade is yī yá yī yè 一芽一葉 ("One Bud, One Leaf"), such as Bai Mu Dan. The lower grade is called yī yá liǎng yè 一芽兩葉 ("One Bud, Two Leaves"), such as Shou Mei. Though it originates in Fujian, White Tea is made in many other regions of China, including Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou.
The teas featured in this episode include:
-Silver Needle - An all-bud Fujianese White Tea: westchinatea.com/30g-2018-sil...
-Inner Sun - A middle grade Sichuanese White Tea: westchinatea.com/30g-inner-sun/
-Wild Purple White - A leafy Yunnan White made from seed-propagated purple-leaf plants: westchinatea.com/30g-wild-pur...

you have no idea... when i saw "white tea" episode... i'm home alone in my house, i literally screamed "YES!!!!"
Yay!! Glad you're stoked! We're stoked too!
A few interesting points:
-White tea was traditionally for a long time lightly charcoal baked after drying. It’s nearly impossible to find this style now, though it’s still produced by a few places if requested. Unfortunately, most places do not know how to do it properly anymore and will give you odd looks if you even suggest it.
-White tea from Fuding has been increasingly more standardized and the processing is becoming more industrial to provide Fuding white tea in higher yields at high prices because the name carries so much weight. Some cultivars are being used that also bud earlier for production but produce poorer quality tea. Many rich Chinese tea drinkers snatch up the highest quality tea very fast. This means the name Fuding is becoming less associated with the best cup of white tea and other areas are rising.
-Purple tea is full of those anthocyanins that give it the purple colour and potential health benefits, however it’s also a compound that causes astringency. This means many purple teas can be quite astringent if not brewed carefully. Of course, some are more forgiving than others.
Heck yeah! I had a feeling we were getting this today. Don’t know why but I had a feeling. Talk about some crazy worldly energy
Glad you're tapped into the gong fu cha cosmos, Michael! Thanks for watching! ✨
I had a feeling too but that's because I was watching the puerh vid and noticed that within the last 24 hours they changed the logo for the RUclips channel!
@@sarahdaviscc yeah my twin, Crow, drew us up a new logo!! We're back!!
Well, glad to see more episodes, and great logo Crow!
Yayy!! 😀 We've missed you!
I think we'll watch all your back catalogue again, for the 4th time lol, and take notes this time.
We love your depth of knowlage and how you impart it. Oow and your pronunciations. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching y'all! So glad to have you here on the ride with us =)
I don't have the words to describe the appreciation i have for this channel, yet. But I've loved every minute.
I mentioned I've been wanting to learn more about white teas (i knew nothing) to a couple friends. They ended up gifting me a white Vandham sampler for Christmas. And I knew immediately it was time to come here looking for a white tea episode. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise with the internet!
Thanks so much for the comment! So glad you're loving the channel! It's for folks like you that we make this stuff!
I am super glad to see you again educating us. High quality entertaining content as always. Thank you all who participated in making this video. Greetings from Hungary. 😊
Thanks so much for watching!! Appreciate your support! ✨
Do glad you are doing videos again!
We're SO GLAD to be back! It's been too long! Thanks for watching! 😊
Love this video, your breadth of knowledge is 🤯 and you’re hilarious. Grabbed my favorite silver needle to drink while watching! So fun!
I have recently gotten into tea, and I am now slowly watching your videos to learn more about it. I really appreciate that you translate and explain all Chinese names and terms so clearly (even when they don't work in English :p) and use them consistently afterwards. Thanks for the great resource :)
nice to see you back! Enjoyed this very much. Have a great day
Your back YAY!!!! LOVE LEARNING FROM YOU
Badass analogies man. Respect ♥️
Just found this channel a couple weeks ago and watched every video and eventually bought a tea set, board, and of course- tea. Love this channel. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition I am a part of we have a term called "Drala" which is the elemental magic inherent in the phenomenal world that manifests as elegance, joy, and a sense of light handed humor- it's similar to the principle of the yixing teapots taking on the enriching quality after many brews, a depth of experience develops. So Han brings out the elemental magic of tea with such simplicity that it's inspiring, it's awesome! Thank you!
Love this! Too cool! ✨
Welcome back!!
Always love these, been looking forward to the white tea episode!
Yay! Thanks for watching! 🌿
This is a great episode! I learned a lot! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us.
I’m so stoked to see another video!
We're stoked that you're stoked!
Just seeing that you had uploaded made my day! Keep up the great work!
Yay!! Thanks so much for watching!
Best resource, thx for making these. You are the best!
Good to see you, Dave! Thanks for being a tea homie!
so happy to see a new episode! Thanks so much for doing these videos!
Thanks for watching!
Great video again! Very nice to see you are back :D
Thanks!! 😊
Thank you so much for uploading. wasnt expecting it, but it definitly brought a lot of joy to me this evening!
Wish you all the best and hope more uploads are comming :)
You're in luck 😉
What an amazing resource, thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!!
Aged Shou Mei is fantastic and probably among my favourites after Mi Lan Xiang, although my friend's five year old daughter refers to it as 'uncle's Vlad's yard leaf tea'. Not exactly 'Unicorn Contrails' as far as names go, but if I ever start a psychedelic desert rock fusion band, 'Unicorn Contrails and Uncle Vlad's Yard Leaf Tea' is right up there as the top name choice.
So glad you're back, btw. :)
Omg this desert rock fusion band project should probably be made a reality 🏜️
@@TeaHouseGhost Hahaha, I wish, if I only knew how to play music.... instead, I'm just really talented at drinking tea at 12:45am EST, and tuning the world out watching your videos. I'd trade an illustrious rockstar career for the good vibes drinking tea any day (or night). Btw, your videos are my go-to for introducing people to Gong Fu Cha, and I have successfully convert---uhm, introduced friends to the joys of tea because of your great channel. Seriously, So Han - amazing work!. Thanks for all the knowledge and being the chillest tea corner of RUclips.
@@vladimirlukic7305 This message is so heartwarming, Vlad! Thank you for sharing with your friends! Hope we can drink tea together in person someday!
I just discovered your channel today and I'm so happy I did! I hope you continue posting and educating us. Thank you!
Will certainly keep bringing the gong fu cha content! Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! Really appreciate you watching! Times have been tough indeed, and So Han and the West China Tea fam are currently running a fundraiser to save the teahouse - if you want, you can donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/save-our-tea-house
I’ve never been apart of a tea ceremony before, but after watching a few of your videos and some others as well I cannot wait to begin my journey down the path of tea. Much thanks
I love shou mei,this is the time to drink that delicate liquor.
Finally a new video and it is also about white tea 🤩. Thank you so much.
The video is very informative as usual.
Yay! Thanks for watching!
What a nice surprise! Thank you for uploading this video.
White tea is my personal favourite and i could drink it all day long, it is really nice to learn more about the tea culture from a master like you ☺️
😭😭 yay! Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks again brother for the inspiring stories and the Gongfu Cha wisdom. Nice to see yer back and doing yer magic. Peace ^_^
Thanks for watching! It's good to be back!
thanks for the new video
Thanks for watching!
Been waiting for this one 😋😋😋
Glad we could bring this one to you!
Enjoying this episode with a lao bai cha bing. Cheers
Nice! What kind??
Thank you for returning! Hope you're staying healthy, happy, and filled with love and harmony.
Nice to see you again Argon! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic information-packed episode with a beautiful tea stage.
Thanks!! The Cha Xi is one of my favorite parts of gong fu cha tea service!
My alter ego ShivaShanti says Yaaaaaaaaay.
I've literally been waiting Moons, Literal Moons really hehe. This is so unexpected & soOo cool... Love So Han...
I just so happen to be on a fairly local two day trip! I threw one Itty-Bitty Bing Cha into my Yixing Pot and wrapped them up in a towel & into my bag...
I never bring a Yixing Pot & Tea for a road trip, but today I just felt the need...
Now this video is an hour long.
I am most definitely going to have a session whilst I watch this long awaited and highly appreciated episode.
You're back!!!
We're back!! Good to be back!!
I love your videos
Thanks for giving the new episode a watch! 😊
I was just preparing a Yin Zhen when I saw that a new episode of my favorite tea host has just been released (tnx) and it's all about White Tea :)
Yay!! Thanks for drinking White Tea with us!
Very happy to be able to watch a new video from you today! I drank some lovely organic wild Baimudan while watching. I rarely think of drinking white tea, so this was a good incentive to look through my white tea basket and pull out a sample. I'm not sure why I don't drink white more often, there are some I really enjoy. I just placed an order to you yesterday, now I wish I had included a white in my order. Next time! Thanks for all the great information, I love learning from you!
I've been recently getting really into the Aged Bai Mu Dan! And yes! Next time! Will be on the lookout for your order and try to get it out as soon as possible! =)
I'm really excited to see more content on this channel. It really is the most informative tea channel on RUclips
So glad you think so! We're really trying our best to bring y'all that good good gong fu cha content!
I acually havnt had any fresh white tea i liked yet... but aged shou mei is one of my favourite teas ever... you convinced me.. i will give them another go any time soon
Doooooo it!!
Age bai mu Dan and aged shou Mei have given me a real love for white tea. It is wonderful. I have yet to try or find an aged silver needle. I might just have to age some myself.
I rewatched your last video this afternoon and you released a new one a couples of hours later. What a coincidence!
我們很有茶緣 - "We really have tea synchronicity" =)
Will be placing an order tomorrow!
Sitting here enjoying some steeps of White peony (wang quality) while watching, listening and learning. Mesmerizing as always!👏🏼🍵🤤🙏🏼
Mu Dan Wang has quickly become maybe my favorite white tea. Have a Bing from 2016 that I'm obsessed with.
As someone with a connective tissue disorder, ten fragrance tendon relaxing tea is an amazing name and I know that feeling
thanks
Wonderful video!
I would like to make a couple of points:
The unique factor that makes white tea unique is its processing where the leaves are dried in the sunlight. The tea is actually slightly fermented/oxidized so it is not the same as green tea.
According to Chinese medicine white tea is an extremely cold thing to consume, that is why the sun-drying aspect is so important. The natural light helps to counteract the coldness within the tea. But this is also why it is so important to buy white tea carefully, many people just dry the tea with artificial lighting for convenience.
Great birthday gift! I was just drinking Jasmine Silver needle woth my father.
Wow! That's awesome!
@@TeaHouseGhost awesome inded
I'm tasting my way through my sheng collection and I'm half way, but this episode makes me want to put that on hold for a couple bai cha sessions.
Always nice to shake things up a bit!
Love your videos. Hope you guys are well. Will visit the shop if I'm ever in Austin, but until then its online shopping for me :-) .
Would love to have you drop by in Austin sometime! But glad you're enjoying the new website! We've been really enjoying migrating to the online space and meeting so many new tea friends!
I too am someone who used to say I didn't like white tea. Like you, I had also only had poor quality white tea that tasted like water unless brewed extremely hard and then would be bitter. Not enjoyable at all! It wasn't until less than a year ago that I encountered aged white tea, and was it ever a game changer! It quickly shot up the ranks to be one of my favourite things to drink and opened the doors to me trying other forms of white tea. These days I can even say that I enjoy the occasional top-notch fresh silver needle, even though I'm still more inclined towards the aged leafier grades. Also, moonlight white is amazing young or aged. The second two teas featured here are very intriguing; I guess I'll have to look into trying them out! Thanks for a great video. I feel like I learned a lot! Time to go brew some (white) tea.
Yay!! Thanks for watching and drinking some white tea with us!
I have to say... White Tea has become one of my favorite teas. I love aged white pu er. White teas made in Yunnan & pressed in cakes! I tasted a piece of a bing from 2009!
Very expensive. Aged white teas, bings & such are becoming treasure! Super delicious 😋 So many teas. Such a short life.
I'm going to China one day to do a tea trip!
I need to find a farmer like Farmer Leaf that makes aged white tea cakes!
It's nice to know that someone shares my indifference toward most silver needle. I thought I was broken.
I like the analogy of the cupcake. I personally don’t like much frosting at all.
That, is the biggest, Texas-sized frog tea pet I've ever seeeeeeen....
Finally!

"I was first served white tea by someone in Fujian" I don't know why, but the whole aesthetic of tea is summed up in that rather than, "I first had white tea served to me." Maybe a grammatical quirk, but I think it really sends home the message learning a lesson and a bit of humility.
Old MacDonald had a tea plantation, 一芽一葉
Yeyeye White tea old News, but those gaiwans tho!
Steam rolled flowers and unicorn farts. Nice.
Space unicorn contrails... i am intrigued!
Here's the link if you want to try some!: westchinatea.com/30g-2018-silver-needle/
He back ya'll!
And more coming!
I love silver needle, white peony and aged sho mei. I love the way you describe the differences. I had no idea that they were so similar and different depending on when they were picked. I’m going to order my silver needle this spring from Yunnan sourcing, last year I went with Mei Leaf in London. Do you sell silver needle?
White tea is so special!! How'd you enjoy Mei Leaf's Silver Needle? I haven't tried theirs yet!
West China Tea does sell Silver Needle, both as a Bing: westchinatea.com/350g-2018-silver-needle-bing/
And loose: westchinatea.com/30g-2018-silver-needle/
The loose one is higher quality (from higher up on the mountain).
When I drank the basic silver needle from Mei leaf I made sure to write down how I felt. “Extreme brightening in my vision and mood, a brightening that came from within and moved around my whole body! It was an amazing feeling pure and crisp. “. Then went to the local health food store and gave their version of silver needle a try and the results were nothing like Mei leafs silver needle. No brightening or uplifting feelings. I’m looking forward to getting some fresh silver needle this spring. I want to try a new tea company because Mei lead only has free shipping on over 100$
Glad to see a new episode! I was wondering where to order tea from your shop now adays?
Found the link in the description! I'm pretty sure the yellow twig I had came from ya'll, haven't found anyone else who carried it. Glad to find it on your site.
West China Tea website: www.westchinatea.com
You mentioned that you can get 10 steeps from this in your gaiwan. That's great if you've got company. If you are brewing for yourself, how long would you let used leaves sit? Red tea leaves have a short expiration.
How long I would let wet leaves sit and still be able to brew them some more later:
Green and yellow tea, Anxi Oolong - 3-6 hrs
Red Tea, Wuyi Oolong, Phoenix Oolong, Fresh White Tea - 6-12 hrs
Aged White Tea, Pu'er, Hei Cha - Up to 24 hours
Where did you get that mr. T shirt? Gotta find it...
No idea where this came from lol but it's amazing
Hey , long time no see. I like tendon relaxing tea... kinda like taking a sinew soothing sip ! :-D Tendon relaxing is definitely a past time in our house , I like plants that feel like I just had an internal massage. I still can not get myself over that awesome inscription "The mountains are tall and the emperor is far away" So what teahouse are you working at now? Is it still the same one as 2019?
Hahahaha - love relaxing those tendons! And yeah, that inscription is one of my favorites too!
The tea house is now called West China Tea - you can check out the website at www.westchinatea.com
@@TeaHouseGhost Ok! When we hit the road to Austin you KNOW we'll be there. Even brought my grandmother last time but you weren't there
P.S. Looking forward to aged white teas!
Vapor trail of a space unicorn - spot on dude! If I ever start selling tea I'm gonna name my yin zhen this way. Beautiful!
One question: how come the prices of your teas are exorbitant?
Doooooo it!
How does the Tea make it all the way off the Tree then to this country? Its picked, processed, stored, packaged in bulk orders, shipped all the way to Texas, stored, repacked to order, boxed up very carefully, sent via jeep, truck, plane, then makes its way to a distribution center, put back on a truck, jeep, van, what have you, delivered to Your door! From start to finish crossing many miles & few hands all the way too Your cup!!!
None of that is free! You can enjoy these special very high-quality, hand selected, tea master crafted, packaged with Love, shared with passion. This is how he supports his passion, his family, his tea house, his tea company, the tea master, tea masters family, his employees Families!
Pay for high quality tea. All along the way it is supporting other peoples lives & helping local economic development!
Buy Local. Support small businesses!
Yes thank you Nicholas - these are some of the many paths that the tea must travel to get to us, and through us, to you. And all along the way West China Tea does its best to take care of everyone involved in the process. It does make some of the tea a bit more expensive, but is worth it for the long term health of the industry. You may notice, though, that West China Tea gets specifically very affordable prices on Pu'er due to a very close friendship with our farmer Li Shulin
@@nicholas389 thanks for your elaborate explanation! I am aware of those things, I simply thought the teas of WCTC are about double the price of other high quality teas I buy that go through similar stages. Maybe WCTC are better? I should give them a try!
@@AhimSaah Compare Mei Leaf & Farmer Leaf to WCTC Teas. Pretty comparable.
I myself order when I can, from WCTC. Their teas are very high quality & you know where it comes from. Tea Cakes are cheap on Amazon & other places that sell bulk. But its just not good. I suggest River Red & their itty bitty Sheng gushu bings. Delicious & makes you feel incredible.
18:00 I see that you didn't rinse the silver needle. I also usually don't rinse it because I think the small hairs give a nice texture to the tea. Is not rinsing it common practice for silver needle, or did you make an exception?
I (Erik) also don't wash Silver Needle for that same reason - I like the texture of the trichomes (little hairs) - this is a fairly common practice, but everyone has different thoughts on rinsing teas
@@TeaHouseGhost Thanks!
50:28~
So Han: Uhh… I hope I can get through this vid without reheating my water…?
Wild Purple White: *NOPE.avi*
Expensive fresh white tea = cosmic unicorn farts? I'd drink it! 😂🦄🌠
Darn TOOTIN'!
Mister i just used 80 degree . 110 ml water and 1 gr white hair. 3 x steeping . Is that ok like that? Taste is just like : i tast the tea juice coming from the vessels of the tea. I call it "tea juice" bcz its just watertast with a light neutral tea tast.
It's okay to do it however you want to! Everyone finds their own ways!
I'm sorry if this is a silly question, but how does one influence whether one gets a red or white tea? Have I misunderstood red tea processing? I thought the oxidation happened naturally. What is done in red tea processing to induce full oxidation that is not done in white tea? Does breed/cultivar also affect the tendency to oxidize faster/slower?
The main difference here is that with White Tea, the tea is withered (usually out in the sun), which will slow the oxidation process to a near stand-still, allowing it to oxidize slowly, over years. With red tea, the oxidation process is usually helped along by a leaf-massaging process. Furthermore, Red Tea does undergo the dry roasting process known as Sha Qing ("Kill the Greens"). I can't say I know the specifics of how breed/cultivar will effect oxidation speed, but I imagine there's some room for comparing/contrasting there for sure.
@@TeaHouseGhost alright, thank you!
I don't know if its just me or my laptop, but the sound on your videos is pretty quiet. Any chance you can turn up the volume on the future videos? I love your content btw. Your videos are so educational and informative and I've learned so much about tea and tea culture. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I can look into this! How does the music at the beginning/ending sound by comparison to the rest?
@@TeaHouseGhost the music volume sounds fine, but it's hard for me to hear the dialog at my laptop's loudest volume and RUclips's loudest volume
@@genesis906 copy that! Will try to get that working better on future episodes
What brands and sizes kettles are you using?
I think most of our kettles are either Ulalov (black ones) or Elementi (chrome ones). Just regular size - nothing special.
Great video. Just a quick question about grades. You mentioned Bai Hao Yin Zhen, Bai Mu Dan and Shou Mie. I thought there was another grade above Shou Mei called Gong Mei? Or is gong mei a subclass of one of the other grades? Also, I quite enjoy yabao and have seen it listed as both puerh and as white tea. Is one of these more accurate than the other? Thanks again for the fantastic content.
Gong Mei, generally speaking is a high grade of Shou Mei and means "Tribute Eyebrow" - it's generally produced from Cai Cha plants, which are neither the traditional Da Bai or Da Hao breeds and were originally used to make Red Tea
Ya Bao is a sort of outlier in the Sheng category - usually it is produced like white tea, in that it is not sha qing'd - but can be cooked.
@@TeaHouseGhost Thank you for the clarification. I am really drawn to the hint of pine resin I get from some yabao. My guess is that it comes from extra sap being drawn in for branch formation, but that is only conjecture. Wild purple yabao is particularly good, albeit hard to find. I just noticed that you guys are located in Austin. I will definitely have to stop in the next time I pass through.
@@michaeltabor4176 yes please do come on by sometime!
The most amount of caffeine is in the first leaf NOT in the buds. The buds are armored, they don't need that much caffeine to protect, but the first leaf is very delicate so it needs the highest dosis of caffeine possible.
Fascinating! How does caffeine act as a protector for a delicate new leaf?
@@TeaHouseGhost Caffeine is in fact just a poison for insects. The insects die if they get a too high dosis of caffeine. One bite and the bug, grasshoper etc. will never touch a tea plant again.
By the way, that's the reason, why high altitude tea is often times better than lower altitude tea, cause there live less insects. Less insects means less stress (and less need for pesticides), therefore also less caffeine and an even more gentle taste^^
Is the second wild white tea from the tea master that found PAN LONG???
It is not! Pan Long is from the Phoenix Mountains, on the other side of China from Sichuan, where Inner Sun comes from. Inner Sun tea master's name is Heng Yi. Pan Long tea master's name is Lin Yao Bin
Drinking a 2021 _Bái Háo Yín Zhēn_ (白毫銀針, Silver Needle) while watching this.
I used cool water, and did the _Jìn Rùn Pào_ (浸潤泡), but my Silver Needle brewed up yellow-green right off the bat.
The liquor doesn't taste like water; it does have a steam-pressed herb-like fragrance and taste, with a faint sweetness.
Is my Silver Needle crappy?
I don't know if I'd go to crappy - are you enjoying it??
@@TeaHouseGhost
No idea in terms of the quality, but it definitely tastes good to me.
It's not cloyingly sweet, probably could have come out better with some more sun-drying, but tastes soft, herbal, and, in my opinion, good.
P.S. I went to a tea house to drink some proper _Bái Háo Yín Zhēn_ and to compare it with my own. The verdict is that my _Bái Háo Yín Zhēn_ was a little yellow-green, but up to par for every other criterion.
@@MrAqr2598 hey as long as it tastes and smells good and makes you feel good, it's perfectly good tea 🐱
@@TeaHouseGhost
Yes; now I can have a better, more whole appreciation of it.
Have you experimented blending your favorite White Teas? Any recommendations?
I haven't experimented much myself with blending teas, but I'm sure there are folks out there who do!
:)
Yooooooo what up Zakery! 😄
Maybe i dont do the correct brewing of the white hair tea. But i try to understand tea psychology of this tea. Maybe it sounds strange but. Its like the buds of the white tea are like 4 year old child with a 4 year old body and soul. Its pure undeveloped tea with pure life and energy. I cant expect much character of this tea bcz its still a young child full of pure life and energy. Maybe i am wrong. Dont know. Its the first time i drink this white hair and being mindfull . I also have tasted the white peony now at 1 gr. 110 ml. 75-80 degrees. Tast to me like: its pulling and pushing me , it first a flow of no-taste ; light bitterness;tiny bite sweetness; ending with a bite freshness; . Strange tea. Maybe i am doing something wrong. Thia tea gives me the feeling of being stressed out during childhood. ( i become too much a tea psychologist now)
Thanks so much for this review - it's great for read your thought process.
Have you tried something like 5-7g for a 110mL vessel?
@@TeaHouseGhost have not tried yet. thats my next step,yes. I am excited where this will bring me to in my thought proces
Next hell tell us hes getting a “skateboarding squirrel that threatens you” taste
I kinda want that tea...
@@TeaHouseGhost what would you say golden turtle tea tastes like? I want to try it
@@jejehdh it's got that sort of honeysuckle-ish textbook floral flavor of many rolled jade oolongs from Anxi/Taiwan regions, but its distinction is a sort of balance between the florality and slight fruitiness (like Tieguanyin, but with more sunshine, not so dark and mysterious like root mountain or perfumy like hairy crab) and a generally uplifting Qi.
How much water do those gaiwans hold they look kinda big
I wanna say they're about 125mL? 130mL? They are a bit bigger than average.
@@TeaHouseGhost ok cool I really like them I been looking for some larger gaiwans those look nice I like them. Keep up the awesome work I love your videos 👍
