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❤
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.
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。
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
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.
China's tea are much more better and healthier as compared to other countries
Grandpa is so proud of Chinese culture and confidently presents the philosophy behind every Chinese traditional product
Katherine, may you and the chickens live forever. Your vlog is like a lotus flower amongst all the muck on social media
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
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
I never knew a literal village was next to Hangzhou. Now that is another place on my list of places to go and visit.
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.
TEA CHA TEH .......... ALL GOOD GUTEN .......... MATSU
What a great find!
The place is so beautiful and peaceful even Grandpa Dai’s gentle berating of foreign friends feel therapeutic! :D
Therapeutic 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! So close to Hangzhou! Another thing to do when I go to China. Thank you very much, Katherine :D
Grandpa Dai is so cute with his little observations on foreigners😂😂
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! ^_^
Cuteness overload. haha. Glad you didn't take his perceptions to heart. :)
All in all, what a scenic village! :)
I love this! It wasn’t the right season, and completed rainy, when I last visited the tea plantation in Hangzhou! Great video! ❤
Such a beautiful village!! Thanks for sharing this little gem with us!
My home town! I waited so long for this video. More please.
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….
So happy to see your glowing face and another interesting video Katherine 😊 The feeding time is my favorite part too 😂😂😂
Guess this is how grandpa live such a happy life.Everything is about natures.I actually love it though.
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
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! ❤
Beautiful scenery ,lovely people, healthy drinks & food, funny grandpa, good friends,harmony vibes....what else more you can ask for!!
green tea is the best tea! you should try roasted/burnt rice and green tea.
"Chickens can eat spicy foods, I have trained them" 😂😂
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👍🏻
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!
Really scenic and love the close-up of the red coloured leaves. Thank you Kat & team!! Look forward to more vlogs!
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.
It is not just tea, it is a culture system.
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。。。。
@@user-md1em2tg3q 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 wouldn't appreciate what Grandpa Dai has said one single bit, but overall looks like a quality afternoon 😂
这个德国娘们儿看起来还不错！
MAKEEE MOREEEEE
Mr Zhou from the Wandering Earth 2 is running a tea shop in this parallel universe
Grandpa Dai is an interesting figure. Thanks for sharing the episode 🎉
Tea is one of important window to understand more of Chinese culture. Thanks for sharing.
Everyday is a living for Katherine 👏👍⚘️
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.
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
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.
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
What a great video, everything just beautiful ! Love it❤
Always wonderful the stories you tell Katherine.
Loved it!
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。
You look stunning, this video makes you shine!
Aww I love the grandpa! He’s so cute!!
Very informative and educational. Thanks for sharing your vlog with us all ❤
Just loving your videos, that's the way going forward, keep it up and all the best
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.
Oh my! The fresh first-picked Longjing tea is absolutely the best. Miss it very much.
还是很小的时候跟爸妈采茶叶，很好玩
Enjoy your video ❤
Missing my hometown! Thank you
戴爷爷太可爱了，还很调皮。
It is such a beautiful scenery: a girl in red in a green tea field
What a lovely place and a lovely experience! Thanks Katherine for taking us with you re-discovering rural China.
My grandma once got a package of Longjing tea from a relative, and I absolutely love it! So, thank you for letting me see the place where that tea originated! Love your videos although I have to close my eyes at some scenes ― I have chicken phobia and you love them 😅
Love it all: the people and the village.
It certainly looks like a cozy spot
拍的很好
Thanks Katherine for your wonderful Longjing Tea Village's video. I have been there twice. Happy Good Friday! God always bless you. 🙏🏻👍🏻😍
哈哈哈，笑死我了
Haha I just happen to be drinking dragon well tea while watching this.
I love longjing tea.
Grandpa giving lecture 🤭
really embarrassing😂
Love that pocket of greenery on the outskirts of a cement urban area.
Katherine, Chinese tea is refreshing. How could you possibly not like it? 😢
I visited this village once in high school. Had a classmate from there. Many families had the electric wok for drying the leaves.
I'm grinning ear to ear the whole video.
I think i' m in love with yafang 😅
Flawless transition to Blinkist. 😂😂
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
6:39雅芳小姐姐好可爱啊
8:13真惬意，听着曲，赏着景，品着茶，人生最惬意的不过如此。
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.
Your eyes and smile is so beautiful
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?
Katherine rocks !!! ...
She speaks perfect Mandarin, with correct intonation !!! ... 👍👍👍
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~
i do love your videos which were really made by considerable zeal. but it appears you update siightly slower than ever 😊
“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!
I love green tea! Maybe you could find one you like Katherine there are lots of varieties? :))
Within green tea, there are a wide varieties of tastes, even within Longjing, some of which I like, some not!
He is such an endearing old man from the Mao era!😂Interesting the tea-pickers never even drank the tea they picked!😲
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, prices will become cheaper and cheaper
I went the moutain there on a rainy day with my first love😂 Really a beautiful place
你们歪果仁不行！😊
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.
Look forward to an episode on Dominic.
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
it feels like a lil NatGeo ❤
wow mind blown !!! I've never imagined people there to be so warm, hospitable and friendly ! I always thought people there are always angry and in a rush ! Thanks for your video feeds, now we know the truth and I honestly find your video feeds very relaxing to watch !
阳离子有机会可以试试茉莉花茶，很香的
Gosh, I want to meet grandpa.
这老爷子的认知水平不错，脑子好使。
