Let's explore another alternative way to make black tea in a small tea factory. Here, I try to use the tools I have: a hot wood-fired wok. Our website: www.farmer-leaf.com/
I do one cake order a year and otherwise I just get samples etc. I drink tea often but it takes me a while to get through a cake and I really don't want a collection of more than about 10 cakes or so
I have not generally preferred roasted tea as much, i appreciate your description on what roasting typically does to a tea. It gives me something to look out for and be aware of when im trying different roasted teas
Hi William, I'm trying to grow a Tea Plant (about 1M tall in a 8 Liter plastic pot, with drain holes on the bottom).I live in San Diego, CA, night temperature is +14C, day temperature is +22C, so how often should I water the Pot (it's well drained in acid soil), and how often should I apply Slow Release Fertilizer (acid type, for Azalea and Rhododendron), to GROW Stems and Leaves, for now (plant is too small to just be harvesting only the new leaves... I need to grow it first)... for best results?
Hey Miltonnoguchi, I'm sure you're already aware but I wanted to mention just so you'd be safe. There are fertilizers for show-plants and fertilizers for food-plants. Just like there is soil for food-plants and soils for show-plants depending on what you're planning to use the plants for. The show plant fertilizers/soils can be cancerous. So I hope that you are using the right ones if you plan to drink the leaves. There is residue left and all sorts of considerations for the soil (which can have the same concerns). There's also the PFAS chemical concerns that may not be listed on the bags but require testing. I just wanted to be sure you were aware! Happy growing!

Thank you for your sincerity.❤
Really cool that you show your experiments. 👍🏻
This is incredibly fascinating. Thank you
Having bought and tasted this it is interesting to drink compared to the other blacks. I found that brewing faster works well for me. Thank you
I normally only buy from you once a year, but doing special processing experiments like this is what encourages me to make a second purchase.

Great insights!
Love how you talk through your proceses. True essence of tea is being one with nature qnd finding your own way
There’s something amazing to be able to pick a handful of tea leaves you lovingly processed and brew them immediately afterwards.
Please keep experimenting to try to find new and exciting new teas!
I think it is great you continue to challenge yourself. I learn a lot watching these types of videos, too!

Thank you for sharing with your audience your thought process--- extremely interesting----good luck I am sure I will enjoy the final solution
Is the result of your process comparable to a Lapsang Souchong, or are you trying to make black tea with a lighter, smoky smell and taste?

is this the 'Spring 2024 Jingmai Black special processing' that was offered on your website?
Yes, can't wait to taste it!
@@nicolascloutier3199 i'm drinking some now, it's even better than i expected
@@dujac88 It reminds me of drinking a taiwanese sun moon lake black, almost minty with all the assam boldness. My favourite black this year.
