What a lovely episode! I am finally going to China in June, after missing it for four years! Btw. the friendship between the grandpa and the girl is so sweet, in the West something like this is rare, and in China I have seen friendships like that a lot. How sweet and lovely!
You must try to visit Hangzhou after the Asian Game and then take a bus up to the famous tea plantation.
It will be a great trip for you and do budget a whole day trip.
We Malaysian Chinese also drink longing tea but we are fujian ancestry therefore we drink more of fujian anxi tea and many also drink puer tea from Yunnan.
So good to see you moving from one village to another village. What an adventure and experience.
Thanks man, iam from africa living in uk, i love the hardworking chinese people and leaders, cheers, dont forget motherland china.
Kongfu tea
I just love Hangzhou and her gentle people. Visited Westlake twice. You are so blessed to have Grandpa Dai in your life now....what a sage gentleman!!!
I agree! Anyone who goes to Hanzhou is Fortune-ate 👍
I agree that tea is better than opium 😂
江南忆，最忆是杭州。
What a beautiful experience! The tea picking season must be very exciting! And then consuming this extraordinary drink in such a beautiful place in the company of nice and friendly people makes the atmosphere even more exciting. It almost feels like a feast! Thank you very much
Yafala is quite a sweetheart, and Grandpa Dai is lucky (a two way street) to have such an engaging young woman come to visit and keep him company regularly.
Katherine, may you and the chickens live forever. Your vlog is like a lotus flower amongst all the muck on social media
What a lovely vlog and the city, the tea plantations looked so beautiful and relaxing! These kinds of lovely relationships that you build up while travelling, exploring are something that I really like. Had you not said it, we would have never understood that you and grandpa do not know each other. But what a lovely interaction you had and he was so happy to show you guys around! Warm regards from India.
Wow! So close to Hangzhou! Another thing to do when I go to China. Thank you very much, Katherine :D
Thanks for the intro to the Longjing village! I am a tea lover, I think I will drop by if I go Hangzhou :) Very talented colleague u have there btw! ^_^
China's tea are much more better and healthier as compared to other countries
Such a beautiful village!! Thanks for sharing this little gem with us!
I love this! It wasn’t the right season, and completed rainy, when I last visited the tea plantation in Hangzhou! Great video! ❤
What a great find!
The place is so beautiful and peaceful even Grandpa Dai’s gentle berating of foreign friends feel therapeutic! :D
Therapeutic 🤣🤣🤣
Cuteness overload. haha. Glad you didn't take his perceptions to heart. :)
All in all, what a scenic village! :)
I never knew a literal village was next to Hangzhou. Now that is another place on my list of places to go and visit.
Katherine you have good discerning taste to appreciate fine Chinese tea. By the way, the British East India Company wanted Chinese tea and silk but was disappointed that China did not want to trade. The Brits then introduced opium from India that unethically flooded China with addicts. The opium wars started when the Qing dynasty prohibited its importation. China lost the war, ceded territories with a series of unequal treaties leading to “Century of Humiliation”. We Chinese learned from our bitter history.
I’m a part of the victim since I live in HK, but I’m so happy when 1997 approach so I can be a legitimate Chinese from then onwards
@@soha7271 well-said
Let's look forward to a world of peace and leave behind the horrific past.
@@tonytube9211 then, stop meddling others' internal issues!!
china dont want to trade？bullshit. your history knowledge is garbage. fuck
My home town! I waited so long for this video. More please.
So happy to see your glowing face and another interesting video Katherine 😊 The feeding time is my favorite part too 😂😂😂
green tea is the best tea! you should try roasted/burnt rice and green tea.
Grandpa is so proud of Chinese culture and confidently presents the philosophy behind every Chinese traditional product
Really scenic and love the close-up of the red coloured leaves. Thank you Kat & team!! Look forward to more vlogs!
无论我的生活有多么的忙碌，我都要来看看你的视频，关注你的动态，你的视频有治愈能力，希望你的每一天都开心阳。同时我也喜欢你的这个德国朋友，他也拥有不错的品格👍🏻
Tickle me pink, giggling watching this from time to time. Grandpa Dai has a good sense of humor as well, love it! Thank you for sharing this video. Looking forward for your new update. Your huge followers here from, Seattle Washington.. Again Thank you Katherine! ❤
Hi katherine, thanks once again for another very interesting video…I am sure many overseas Chinese really appreciate you going beyond the call of duty of a vlogger and reaching out and digging into the very core of one of the things that has made us so culturally interesting . Grandpa is such a knowledgeable person…I can sit and drink tea with this senior citizen and talk forever ….take care and keep having fun. Watching you from Europe….
Miss yafang is a special soul. She appreciates her environment whilst most of her peers are rushing through life. I hope they learn to slow down❤
hehe, i've worked with the other area Meijiawu and the 狮峰 brand for over 20 years, and TBH, i've been a fan of Pu'er and Liu'an since i was a kid. I'll drink Longjing but it's not my first choice of tea. If you get a chance, try Anji white tea (安吉白茶) from further north in Huzhou. it has a more subtle sweetness that's more soothing.
What a great video, everything just beautiful ! Love it❤
Of all tea varieties, LongJing is my personal favorite, and the ones picked and prepared before QinMing is the best among them all. Are you trekking along "9 streams and 18 ravines" on your way back to the city?
真不错，让我有去感受一下的冲动。一直没有（真正）去过南方，没体会过原来还是深刻不同的。
OMG, finally my hometown. Sorry about "you foreigners can't handle it properly", but he's telling the truth. lol. The reason why the first-harvest tea is expensive is because only very little tea which is picked before Qing Ming Festival (April 5th) can be called 明前茶（Ming Qian Cha）。明(Ming) means Qing Ming Festival and 前(Qian) means before.
Yes, the price of green tea from this area is very pricy! While you are in the area, suggest a visit to the Huang Mountain. A sight to behold and you would remember for years.
Longjing tea is probably the most expensive green tea in China. This kind of tea trees are widely planted in Xinchang, Zhejiang, and the "Longjing tea" there is much less expensive. However, the best flavor still comes from Longjing Village near Hangzhou. It is not surprising that real tea connoisseurs would splurge a thousand dollars on a SINGLE pound of authentic Longjing tea.
额。。。。实际上如果要最正宗的。。。。大概要几十万元人民币一磅。。。。当然，还有更贵一些的。。。。
@@蔡氏阿九 几千元只是起步价，奢华享受上不封顶，壕无人性。
大红袍才是
@@haixuyi 我说的是绿茶里面最贵的。别的茶智商税更高，上不封顶。
I LOVE ❤ Longjing tea. I brought a few bags in one of that area costing $300 US each bag but totally worth every cent drinking it. It taste and smell very refreshing
Beautiful scenery ,lovely people, healthy drinks & food, funny grandpa, good friends,harmony vibes....what else more you can ask for!!
You reminded of my tucked away dehydrated green tea and finally brewed a measure, it's origin not labeled. I actually appreciated the flavours and the aromas even after deluging it through with warm water, several times. It retained most of its properties and it wasn't placebo effect. I am more energetic. You should give it another chance😜 Now I am hooked, and I will be looking to getting another batch on other visits. Thanks for your inspiration😋Got me out of the sceptical zone haha
younger tea leaves are expenisve because when you harvest them, they ae quite few because the rest of the leaves on the plant are already mature. Young tea leaves have some more compounds that is good for you than what you would find in a mature tea leaf. The taste is also milder..
In England or really in Western packaging, they are called white tea.
Beautiful video. It takes me back to my visit to Longjing in 1985. I remember seeing the locals roasting the tea leaves just as in your video. They even gave me a young tea plant to take to my boss in Hong Kong.
The Chinese definitely take their tea seriously.
It's pretty much like the red wine and cheese in Western culture. Top notch products cannot be manufactured because the quality is strictly subject to geography, and only real connoisseurs are willing to pay hefty prices for subtle differences in flavor and aroma.
其实美国的历史，也和茶叶有关--波士顿倾茶事件，现在还有茶党。lol。杭州龙井头采茶真的太贵了，差不多是8000块500g.
By the way, America history is kind of related with tea--Boston dumping tea action. and now they have Boston Tea Party.
Best first wave picked up of HangZhou Long Jin Tea is way too expensive. around 8000RMB for 500g in retail market.（16RMB=2.3USD/g, like drug price in America. lol)
why is soo expensive? it should blame origin protection too extreme. Long Jin as a famous tea brand and been well known in China. even 10% of people want to taste, the number is 150 million people.
Grandpa Dai is so cute with his little observations on foreigners😂😂
TEA CHA TEH .......... ALL GOOD GUTEN .......... MATSU
品绿茶要一定的方法，否则就只能感到苦涩。但即使普通人也是能喝出好坏差别的，好茶的香气特别浓郁，坏茶就只有苦涩了。不过明前龙井茶也真不是普通人喝得起的😅
Grandpa Dai is an interesting figure. Thanks for sharing the episode 🎉
Grandpa Dai looks so healthy! It should be due to the lifestyle. He grows quite a lot of produces which will give him lots of fresh food in all seasons!
Unfortunately, you don’t like dragon well tea which is one of the best tea in the world just like French Roast coffee , enjoy the bitter flavor . Black coffee .
I was wondering what was going on in this village, until you finally came clean about green tea (11:20)! How did you make it through this?
Those tea pickers are delightful. Want to hear the German guy's English again.
Grandpa Dai gave me a glass of black tea 🤣🤣🤣
Wow 🥰😀love this place unbelievable. Love the tea house 💕💕💕💕💕
Nothing it seems is coincidental. The eyes pleasing tea bushes in cubic forms are there for ergonomics. Poor long suffering tea pickers don't have to strain their backs for a cuppa. I am made aware of longjing prawns by well regarded master chef winning host Adam Liaw on SBS Australia China series, by the looks of it in your vlog, the dish seems ubiquitous in Hangzhou. There I thought he was showboating a little😉haha.
这集中的几个场景太装b了！用西洋笛子吹中国的曲子！grandpa die is the king of zhuang b
Guess this is how grandpa live such a happy life.Everything is about natures.I actually love it though.
Thanks Katherine for your wonderful Longjing Tea Village's video. I have been there twice. Happy Good Friday! God always bless you. 🙏🏻👍🏻😍
绿茶，营养价值最高! 那种鲜爽清香，淡淡的苦去后的甜甜的回甘，这种感觉真叫人回味无穷，念念不忘。龙井茶是中国十大名茶之首，正宗龙井很难买到。老爷爷说得对，外国人基本不懂茶，特别不懂绿茶
哇哦，竟然在杭州…不冷不热知识，tea来源于闽南语里茶的发音dae~
Did you know that the word tea was derived from the Spanish (original traders of tea from Fujian province) te. In which te is the Fujian pronunciation for the more commonly used pronunciation “cha”.
I think he is fascinated with international foreigners like you, Miss Katherine, as you enjoyed the tea like everyone else.
He’s right tho I actually don’t like green tea at all LOL as mentioned at the end of the vid 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kats_journey_east There are different types of green tea in the market,i am sure you will love some of them...🤔
Some green tea I like. Some I don't like.
Never had Chinese green tea before but have been drinking Japanese green tea.
Although I must say Japanese green tea also had a taste that you may not like at all.
I'll make it a point to look for some green tea from China.
@@davepsk7334 Japanese green tea added roast rice
I personally prefer living in province rather than in city although currently I'm living in the city.
Thanks for this vedeo! Is the guy in your vedeo Ian the German grad student? He's so cute!
MAKEEE MOREEEEE
Grandpa giving lecture 🤭
really embarrassing😂
I hope I don't embarasss you but welcome back effervescent smile of Katherine, all is needed now is occasional girlish squeal to complete the effects.😆Uncle Dai is not wrong. He had you pegged. I do also enjoy the process of extracting pumpkin seeds as well.
I still have my Hangzhou sealed steel can of expensive tea merchandised by young women a little younger than I, at the inevitable end of tea drinking demonstration [ sucker ceremony ] I gave my mother the dearer version, explained to me as healthier version for older folks.Ha ha said nelson munch. Was it really 1 1/2 hours of trekking; Is your red dihon gathering dust? Is that how you keep your figure trimmed?
Did you ask to be gifted some chicken eggs? Curious of the taste. What a wonderful day off well spend closeby and safe. Now I am beginning to understand your attraction of living in China.
Oh my! The fresh first-picked Longjing tea is absolutely the best. Miss it very much.
"Chickens can eat spicy foods, I have trained them" 😂😂
Chicken won't taste spicy. Feed chicken with chilli to kill the gerns
所以这个女生是真的有个爷爷在种茶
Wow, Wow, Wow, today my wife will go to the tea market in Chengdu to buy me 100g of Hangzhou Westlake MingQian Longjing tea
Got a 250g bag for 900 RMB
龙井村的茶贵，是因为名气大，杭州周边的小镇也有很多茶山，茶叶和龙井村的其实都是一样的，但不贵，只需要几百元一斤。比如安顶山等等
You must be a chicken in your previous life. lol
Very informative and educational. Thanks for sharing your vlog with us all ❤
I wouldn't appreciate what Grandpa Dai has said one single bit, but overall looks like a quality afternoon 😂
“上有天堂，下有苏杭”. Such a fun video to bring back good memory when I visited Hangzhou right before college graduation.😊 I’m not a tea drinker but I have to say Longjing 龙井 does tastes nice!
Haha I just happen to be drinking dragon well tea while watching this.
Katherine, Chinese tea is refreshing. How could you possibly not like it? 😢
Mr Zhou from the Wandering Earth 2 is running a tea shop in this parallel universe
I visited this village once in high school. Had a classmate from there. Many families had the electric wok for drying the leaves.
What a lovely place and a lovely experience! Thanks Katherine for taking us with you re-discovering rural China.
Tea is one of important window to understand more of Chinese culture. Thanks for sharing.
Love it all: the people and the village.
I get a kick out of how you always comment on chickens !
阳离子。我也在杭州，你的视频做的很好，可以交个朋友吗，想带你去我们上饶玩
Everyday is a living for Katherine 👏👍⚘️

I love longjing tea.
Bragging too much la Grandpa 😂😂😂
This is my dream retirement
Green tea has antioxidant properties which is good for health, but the taste for some may take some time to get used to. I drink it occasionally because it's health benefits. A lot of harvests out there these days used pesticides which isn't good, esp on fruits. Even animals are fed with some kinda steroids to help them grow faster. So there's only so much a human can do to avoid harmful effects.
Green tea doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides because the insects haven't woken up yet.
每次你用英文说戴爷爷的时候，我心里咯噔一下😱😱😱
Personally I prefer pu'er tea 普洱茶 to other types and it's also not as bitter or sharp. I can drink that at night and still go to bed but not with other teas it is reported to have lots of health benefits too if you consume it long term. They comes dried in round tablet or pellet form, some are pressed into blocks and aged for long time and will costs thousands, I always go for the cheapest $2 pack. 😜
品质好的绿茶，是微甜，没有苦味
@@tyyhvghbhj6822 我不知道如何区分我们的超市只有通用品牌
@@ILUVBAKKUA 视频里的介绍的龙井绿茶是中国十大名茶之首，价格非常昂贵而且很难买到，需要在采摘期前提前一两个月预定，所以对中国以外的地区喝经过发酵的普洱茶红茶比较合适。
It is such a beautiful scenery: a girl in red in a green tea field
阳离子有机会可以试试茉莉花茶，很香的
明前龙井确实是非常昂贵的，在古代被当作贵族的饮品，还需要搭配富含矿物质的清泉水，味道会更清洌。
龙井是绿茶，不经过高温炒制，所以味道会苦，但是更加清香。外国人尤其是英国人喝的是红茶，经过高温炒制，更浓香但是没有龙井的味道这么纯粹。我猜也许英国喝红茶是因为新鲜的绿茶不方便运输吧。
我在东南亚也看到过很多英国殖民地茶园，喝过那里的茶，但味道总是差了很多，也许是因为地理环境差异。
好厉害， ，跑的地方比好多中国人都多啊，，好多小地方，作为中国人好多都没去过，，，不同地方不同民俗风景，，能跑完整个中国的话，，那，，不得了的事情，
This new white dude definitely has some creepy vibes. Encountered lots of them during my backpacking days.
戴爷爷太可爱了，还很调皮。
You look stunning, this video makes you shine!
笑死，茶届的刀郎羊这个比喻.LOL
The earliest batch of tea produced in Longjing Village was frighteningly expensive and in small quantities, and few Chinese people could buy them. Starting from the second batch, price will become cheaper and cheaper
1:56 that became political kinda quick 😅
😂😂
这老爷子的认知水平不错，脑子好使。
