    I have been getting lots of requests for a tea review video, and since I drink 1-2 cups daily, I thought it was time! Shopping for tea can be really confusing, there's loose leaf versus bagged tea, organic versus conventional, flavored teas, herbal tea, and more. Basically it comes down to this, you really want to buy organic, other countries can spray tea leaves with chemicals that are banned here. Loose leaf tea is where it's at, that is the best quality, especially compared to the dust in a tea bag. Look out for flavored teas, most time they are using those sneaky natural flavors.

      @@BobbyParrish I normally don't disagree with you I'm one of your fans but I have to disagree with you on this there's no difference between the matcha tea bags and the regular tea bags they're basically dried up tea leaves not getting the whole Tea Leaf they already do that with the regular pouches they're already grind up if you undo it it's basically the same thing it's really a scam if you really pay attention it's best to go for the powder because you're truly consuming the entire Tea Leaf in fact I would go far as to say that that's not even how matcha green tea has made its Stone grinded it's shade-grown before it's down grind into a fine powder drilling companies like Lipton tea are guilty of selling people the same tea bags they sell in the regular tea but labeling it matcha so Lipton tea and Lipton matcha tea are the same T they just slapstick the logo matcha on the box because that's still considered loose tea leaves that's literally what loose tea is it's dried out tea leaves you're not getting all of that stuff it's the same t it's actually a scam if you don't want to be scamming to get all of the matcha probably should spend a little extra money and get the powder organic and actually you would have more luck ordering from Japan because it's really mainly China that sprays the heck out of everything Japan's pretty good at selling good matcha

    Rooibos is a tea that can only be produced in South Africa. It's considered a super food/ drink as it has high amounts of antioxidants (50% more than that in green tea). It even has AHA (alpha hydroxi acids) in it's most natural form and we know how skin care enthusiast love aha😅. It can prevent diabetes (not cure it) and it's may treat cancer (studies are still in process). Rooibos is the best tea in my opinion😅... Much love from South Africa❤️🇿🇦.

      Yes. Rooibos is also a good tea for healing. It’s also a good tea for people who cannot have much caffeine. Always check the right water temperature for different teas; some do not require full boil. Some manufacturers make electric pots with different setting for different types of tea. For ice teas, you can either brew in the refrigerator or in the son. Harney and Sons has a wonderful book on teas and tea making.

Your company really hiring a hundred people to sweep the fucking floor into proper piles, pick them up, and then put them in the machine to make the teabags instead of just automatically having the machine cutting the leaves collect the fannings themselves? And then think about just how much tea is consumed from tea bags vs whole leaf tea.

    hi Bobby, thanks for doing this video on tea. The other reason why bulk tea is better is because many companies making tea bags use a plastic glue to keep the bag together, just look up plastic particles in tea bags, or plastic tea bags on the internet to see more and to see pictures of tea bags that are ok, vs the tea bags that are sealed with plastic, after I found this out I stopped buying tea bags. Now I have all bulk tea without the microplastic, its cheaper and better.

    If you want really good tea, treat yourself and seek out loose tea from a good importer. High-quality tea isn't cheap, but the flavor difference from your everday grocery store teabags is often staggering. You can find a seemingly endless variety to explore, and each growing region, estate, and flush (harvest) will have distinct flavors. A typical grocery store tea section doesn't even hint at the full array of what's out there.
    Failing that, visit an Asian market. Selection will probably limited to teas from the Far East, but even the cheap loose teas there will often blow the tea bags from your regular grocery store out of the water.
    If you stick with tea bags made with tea fannings (aka "dust"), steep them for way less than the packages usually recommend. 3-5 minutes might be appropriate for a loose tea, but you're aiming for more like 30-60 seconds because of the vastly increased surface area of the tea dust. Otherwise, you're going to have some bitter, nasty tea. Similarly, for green or oolong teas, you want to use water that's come off the boil and allowed to cool somewhat. Scalding your green tea with boiling water is a sure way to ruin it.

    You can grow chamomile at the side of your driveway or it is great ground cover for bare spots in your yard. I lived in a house in Gary Indiana and used to buy lots of chamomile tea and one day I looked down and at the edges of my driveway and there was chamomile growing all over and I mean lots of it. I started laughing and double checked and sure enough it was chamomile. Naturally it’s best growing anywhere but a driveway. But we forget to look around our house and yard for what’s already growing there on its own.
    I am currently trying to start some growing on the side of my house and I will let all of you know how that comes out. Many herbs are easy to start in your yard.

    My dad is a tea fanatic and he recently swore off all tea in teabags. Instead there’s a local coffee shop (they roast their own beans there) in our town that sells very high quality whole leaf loose tea by weight. He can take a jar and have them fill it up for him from over a dozen teas and the people at the shop can help him choose what he likes. He owns this little metal spoon with a hinged cover that has holes in it and it’s perfect for single cups. You just fill the spoon, close the lid, and put it in a mug of hot water to steep. I’m lucky enough to work at a museum that has a gourmet tea shop in our gift shop so I get tea there all the time. They have both caffeinated and non-caffeinated teas flavored with real ingredients (think actual peppermint leaf in the mint tea and actual dried peach in the peach tea) and they make a concentrate they can mix with iced or hot water to make different teas. And they sweeten everything to taste like a coffee shop so you can get unsweetened versions of any flavor they make. My favorite is a non-caffeinated blackberry tea. They also have a chai that tastes like sweet potato pie. (If this sounds great, they’re called Piper and Leaf and they have a website and will ship their loose leaf all over the US.) All this to say, consider buying at a local shop if you’re a tea person; they will always have a better selection than the grocery store.

"ummmm....we picked wild blueberries...." "No, really....what flavorings did you use?" {Confusion} "uh, we just picked wild blueberries and dried them." "Psh, no one does that!" {Walks Off}

    I had tea leaves my whole life, doing the strainer and tea pot thing. I just hated Lipton's the a bags then I tried British tea bag Yorkshire tea and it tasted Absolutely Amazing! I kind of drink 50/50 now British tea bags and loose leaf. Yeah, you really shouldn't knock something til you try it, Lipton's tea bags tastes awful and maybe, that is why you are bias against the tea bag but some of those British tea bags are just as enjoyable as the tea leaves and perfectly convient when you can't bring your strainer and tea pot.
    I think if you don't know what something is and you have never tried it then you shouldn't be telling people not to buy it became many of those British teas are actually amazing in tea bag form

    This guy got his facts straight. I'm an organic olive oil producer and we do spray and fertilize, which is good! (for reasons i won't elaborate here lol). However, the fertilisers we use are natural, like manure (which will also have to be from organic animals that are grass fed, otherwise the manure isn't allowed), and the sprays we use are soooo much more "light" than the convetional ones, some of them even are powder stones like "Surround".

    Chai + honey is the best!
    Coffee + milk + coconut sugar (lower glycemic index) is the bomb!
