This video sends the wrong message that brown colored tea is bad while green is good quality. They are two different type with their own features. Also not all green tea is colored green.
@@mrmunna9072 nah. The creator is clearly comparing to different types of tea. And the darker ones (teabags cuz they're usually gunpowder types) are shown as the lesser one. So people are going to think that their color represents quality.
You are correct imo. Recently I made a green tea but the color is not so green. Just today I bought Oi Ocha green tea in a teabag and the color is absolutely beautiful green.
I was figuring on the cost as well but this tea is quite fair and zero bitter taste Organic Gunpowder Green Loose Leaf Tea | Brew 200 Cups | 16oz/453g Resealable Kraft Bag | by FGO www.amazon.com/dp/B07XM9GYYS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QP23SMFNCP3TCQYNX3VV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
@@asmru6982 I'm a bit new to green tea. I started drinking NUMI gunpowder in bags and just jumped to their 1lb loose leaf. Have you tried NUMI? I'd like to try the one you have here.
You should plant your own... I don't know how it works in other countries, but here in Guatemala it's pretty easy to ultimately grow every tea flavour yourself.
This is the best tea video I've found. I've been looking for good green tea, but all I get is yellow, orange, or brown tea. I want tea that comes out green. I've tried match but I don't really love the flavor. I'd love to know where to get the teapot you use.
Then your best bet would be steamed (usually Japanese) green teas. Maybe gyokuro or sencha. I've had this one: meileaf.com/tea/fukamushi-saeakari-sencha/ (not affiliated) And it really has a deep olive green colour to it when brewed. Very savory and thick feel. Most Chinese teas are pan fired at the kill-green process (the step in the tea processing which deactivates the oxidase enzyme), while most Japanese teas are steamed. That's the main reason why most non-Japanese green teas come out in yellow tones. Also, some oxidation can always happen during the processing, especially with cheaper teas & tea bag teas that have large surface area. (due to all the small particles, fragments, instead of whole leaves) Which could cause a more amber-orange colour. Also, because of the steaming of most Japanese teas, not alone do they look greener (also due to the shading many Japanese teas go through), they break up a little more (nothing like tea bag dust though), so Japanese teas in general are 'thicker' and 'cloudier', because more leaf material gets into the tea (making it even more green), while Chinese green teas tend to have a clearer liquor/tea. I prefer Chinese green teas due to their higher notes, mostly floral aromas of orchids, jasmine (and no, the actual tea, not just the scented varieties that actually use jasmine), etc. And their sweetness and notes of light fruits. (in comparison to the typical stone fruits like plums & apricots more commonly found in black & oolong teas) Japanese green teas to me - although I like the thickness, the mouthfeel - are mostly savory/umami (partially due to the higher l-theanine concentrations, because of the shading) with some sea breeze notes. Also nice, but less complexity then Chinese green teas imho. Not so much of a bouquet. A relatively common Chinese green tea definitely worth trying some day is longjing, flowery & nutty. mmm And tieguanyin is an oolong that quite commonly is less oxidized, so verging closer to green teas. Also definitely woth a try if you can get your hands on some one day. And sheng pu'ers, but they are a world on their own though. They can even give you psychedelic-like ('cha zui'/'cha qi') effects. Not just the caffeine, that's for sure. They can have sweet notes, fruits like bananas & strawberries & muscatel, etc. Pretty wild. (But also quite pricey.) They come from tea trees hundreds of years old, growing semi-wild. Not the average commodity tea bush you see in the videos & pictures.
Does loose leaf tea taste sweet like if you add two spoons of sugar into a cup of tea from a tea bag?? Like does loose leaf tea need sugar is it bitter , and can I use a large size spoon to scoop the leaves out into servings and still give 60-100 servings of good tasting tea??
it doesn't taste sugary sweet, but it should taste smooth without a lot of bitterness. Overtime if you drink it without sugar you'll start to pick up on the subtle sweetness of the tea. By the way, if you are interested in trying some of our teas we have our summer sales going on now: nioteas.com/
I'm addicted to Bigelow green tea right now. I drink 3 8oz cups a day. I would like to give my taste palette an amazing experience in complexity in flavor and give my mouth and mind happiness I can be hooked on ...I understand that freshness and harvest has alot to do with it. So in your opinion what brand right now in the US would you recommend for me?
it is difficult to get good green tea in the U.S, that's one of the reasons we started Nio! We travel around Japan to find the best organically grown green tea and ship it to the E.U and the U.S for free. All the teas we mention in the videos can be found on our website and you can find information on which farm they are grown on and who produces them
Is it still true that the tea dust in tea bags is excess tbyproduct? I don't see how this can be true anymore when 90% of tea is sold as bags. I bet tons of loose leaf tea is powdered to be sold in bags from the start.
It isn't. Many manufacturers bullshit customers by saying such things but if tea bags are the product of loose leaf throwaways then you'd have to produce a disproportionately giant mountain of loose leaf to supply. Tea bag tea is specifically picked tea processed in a completely different manner, so much so it would be virtually impossible to produce as a by product of loose leaf tea.
While I completely agree about the better quality and health benefits of loose tea, sometimes a tea bag is more convenient. Especially if you want a quick cup of black tea + milk in the morning and don't have much time. Since you can steep quality tea leaves more than once I always do that or it'd be a waste, some teas I even use up to 4-5 times a day. Which ends up with me drinking too much tea. Sadly I have caffeine sensitivity so I end up unable to sleep. Loose tea is definitely a good choice when you have time and want to savour it, especially for green tea. Green tea in tea bags is very low quality, the taste is incomparable to loose leaves. But for black tea I really don't mind tea bags, the milk always softens it up and makes it good enough.
Thanks for this! You are right, they can be convenient. Thats why I actually pack my own teabags (filled with premium loose leaf tea) to take it on trips! You can then make great tasting green tea in seconds wherever you go. I hope that helps :)
Oh you'd notice it alright. I made a teapot of good quality flavoured green tea to my cousins and aunt, and they were all charmed. They all commented about how aromatic and soft it is. Not bitter like they were used to.
when you brew the tea cold the extraction is different so you actually end up with a smoother and sweeter tea. If you want to try it, our best tea for cold brew is this one: nioteas.com/products/sencha-shizuku-matcha-powder
The solution to all of this is just to buy good tea bags. Maeda-en is good tea and you can reuse the tea bags twice. It's 20¢ a bag and the package is sealed in metal bags. It opens up, it contains matcha, the taste is amazing, just don't be silly about tea
There will always be varying levels of quality even within teabags but in order to produce tea bags the producer will always need to compromise on taste
Those are two different types of tea, the one that is brown in colour is a Chinese green tea and the vibrant green colour tea is a Japanese Sencha green tea.
@@Nioteas maybe good Chinese tea looks yellow but never THAT green. So I said those were two different tea varieties. But I do believe loose tea tastes much better than tea bags brewed teas. Tea bags also have to be glued to seal the leafs in the bags which can leach into our teas and is not good for health.
Ha, funnily this is why I don't use loose tea leaves often. When I do use loose tea I drink too many cups. Since it can be steeped more than once I feel bad throwing away the leaves after just one brewing.
@@MicukoFelton I brew some tea leaves in a teapot which is enough for me for around 2 hours, I keep it on a candle warmer and drink. Once It is done, I make a new teapot and continue till evening.
What if you just remove the tea from the bag and use it in your pot along with some lose leaf? It would then give it plenty of space to expand making a some what better tea right?
There's actually some good quality tea in bags, but usually it's premium brands. They don't come in the usual bags, but in pyramid shaped ones so the leaves can expands better.
yes I understand. One thing we do when we travel is pack silk teabags full of loose leaf tea so we dont need to bring any teaware. The bag itself is bearable but the terrible tea inside teabags is not haha
The only time I wished I have a credit card but noo lebanon has to be the worst country for that, if only your website accepts paying cash at the order
@@elmohead yes. Duh on me. I'm going to order loose green tea today!!! My grandmother actually used stainless steel tea balls. I'll be buying one of those too!!
@@Adeline9418 don't even bother with the steel balls. Hot water + tea leaves in a clay pot. Simple is best! If you want to see why cramming tea leaves in steel balls is a bad idea, just watch this video: ruclips.net/video/qgkO9Rp7XsY/видео.html You need space for the leaves to expand.

Why You Should Use Loose Leaf Tea Instead of Teabags 0943am 1.7.22 loose tea sinks ships!! it is nicer, though, to use loose tea as opposed tea bags and... and, provided you have decent water supply - which i dont - tastes far superior. depends which tea provider you use... a bigger leaf as opposed to some company which has merely tipped the loose leaves which were destined for a bag into a box seems to be the key. ironic that i have yanks telling me how to brew a decent cup.
Dude, you're manipulating. It's not brewing which is time-consuming. You need to CLEAN the pot, before you're making next tea. You just hidden it from equasion. People use tea bags, because they just throw them out, and dont have to wash whole pot from tea leaves , which is uncomfortable. Also, you need to make dirty two piece of dishes... one pot, and one cup. Just don't manipulate. :)
@@Nioteas Im using teabags, and from time to time , whole leaves. It's so much easier with bags. I just hate those leaves. Cause I need to dispatch them. Where will I dispatch them? Yes, I need to make messy stuff, into the bin. But cannoit do it in my room, because i dont want to throw "food" into my room bin. Because I throw there only "non food" stuff, so I dont have to throw it out regulary, everyday. most of the stuff there is paper, etc. With teabags, I can make tea directly in my room. Dont have to go to kitchen (in my case, I need to go through stairs, it's one level up). I have there kettle in room. I just pour water there, and pour it on cup with tea bag. Then, after I drink it, I just put teabag into place, and it will dry out. I cannot do it with leaves, cause it needs to be washed. Or I need to use second pot. I cannot do it with pot, without water, because I make my fingers and palms dirty, and have to go wash them out after. also, it's difficult to wash the pot properly from leaves. Also, after I drink tea, I need to dispatch leaves immidately. Otherwise, they start to ferment. And then , taste is bad. I need to wash the pot. Tea bag is already away, when I start to drink tea. So it's easy. Much easier. And when I drink 1-2 cups of tea, wow it would be so much work with tea leaves... but almost no work with tea bags.

Just don't manipulate. :)
Personally we just swish out the leaves after each use of the teapot, its actually not meant to be "washed"
@@Nioteas Im using teabags, and from time to time , whole leaves. It's so much easier with bags. I just hate those leaves. Cause I need to dispatch them. Where will I dispatch them? Yes, I need to make messy stuff, into the bin. But cannoit do it in my room, because i dont want to throw "food" into my room bin. Because I throw there only "non food" stuff, so I dont have to throw it out regulary, everyday. most of the stuff there is paper, etc.
With teabags, I can make tea directly in my room. Dont have to go to kitchen (in my case, I need to go through stairs, it's one level up). I have there kettle in room. I just pour water there, and pour it on cup with tea bag. Then, after I drink it, I just put teabag into place, and it will dry out. I cannot do it with leaves, cause it needs to be washed.
Or I need to use second pot. I cannot do it with pot, without water, because I make my fingers and palms dirty, and have to go wash them out after. also, it's difficult to wash the pot properly from leaves.
Also, after I drink tea, I need to dispatch leaves immidately. Otherwise, they start to ferment. And then , taste is bad. I need to wash the pot.
Tea bag is already away, when I start to drink tea. So it's easy. Much easier.
And when I drink 1-2 cups of tea, wow it would be so much work with tea leaves... but almost no work with tea bags.
Tea from a tea bag is just nasty.
I agree!
