Yeah I could never go back to the regular bag teas. So much more flavor and richness in loose leaf 🍂 teas ☕. The tea sometimes don't even sugar-unless you just want to put it in there. So many nuanced flavors in those teas.
I just ordered my first tea set. Im not a big tea drinker, but i need caffeine and need to stop with soda and i heard green tea is great for caffeine. :) im so excited!!
Thank you for this simple and straightforward process to drinking loose tea! I came across a few forums and RUclips videos looking for ways to brew loose tea and all were overcomplicated which almost turned me off to trying out this new hobby. Thanks to you, I now know an easy way to do it. Gonna go order some loose tea now. Thanks again!
Just found this video and couldn’t agree more! I find the tea tastes so much better when it has more room! And the mesh strainer is also easier to clean! Wipe used tea leaves in trash, rinse all dishes and put in dishwasher. I find the tea infusers a pain to remove used leaves and it gets messy! Thanks for the review!
I love your energy and excitement. Wow - you're a 20oz mug of Irish Breakfast with really good tips. The thing I would add, is that for many of us - even those of us outside of Japan - tea making, serving and imbibing is a sacred secular ceremony. I would not expect my Rabbi to read Torah with a take-away chopstick. I like saving money as much as the next person but everything I touch while enjoying the art of tea should feel quality - even beautiful. I know it's not going to change the "double-blind" taste of the brew, but it will change the experience for my guests and myself. Cheers!
absolutely. since this video, i've really started taking my time and meditating through the process. it's so centering and is the highlight of my routine.
Great video. I was about to go online and look for fancy brewing products and your video allowed me to save money use items I already have in the house and keep it simple.
I'm getting my first loose tea and they're giving me more of it than what I asked because of the tea bags not coming with. So I'm letting this video guide me on how to make it
Omg Thank you so much, I just returned back home from Egypt bringing back some amazing tea's. And had no clue on how to make it. Mary you killed it for me bye-bye coffee for now, you made it super simple for me and yes I have everything in kitchen too. Im so glad I found you.🥰
Thanks for sharing your ideas on brewing loose leaf tea. Just a grammatical reminder, the superlative of "simple" is "the simplest" not the most simple.
Awesome hack! I agree with letting the tea swim in the water, but I've bought the bottom straining containers. This hack is awesome. I hope I remember it when my most recently bought bottom straining container goes kaput.
Well, the Turks elaborated this method and expanded it and invented also the perfect tool for it, the double teapot (called "chaidanlik"). Find one, learn to use it and you will never look back. The humanity created a no better way to treat the tea loose leaves and there is no tastier tea than this.
Aw, I'm so glad you liked it! Depending on the leaves, yes, you can totally re-brew. General rule, bigger the leaves, the better they'll taste the second time around!

Thanks. I'm using my Sherlock tea set and want to get off to an informal start during the pandemic where no one can see me fuck up my tea game in front of my poster of Benedict Cumberbatch.
Green tea leaves are a bit more delicate than black tea, and certain compounds can start to break down and alter the taste of the water is too hot. But the most important thing is to brew it how you like it 💖☕
But isnt it nice to Use a quaint cute teapot? Part of the experience, Don’t ya think? Tea drinking should make u feel quaint and fancy in my opinion anyway
Great way of making tea, but thats not how we enjoy or make in the arabian culture. Let me share how we make it. First we only use long leaf and good water, we get the water to boil to a boiling temperature then we put the loose tea and let all the leafs fall ( We dont pour the water on the leafs) Takes about 25 to 30 minutes and thats it. You’ll have the richest tea you can ever want. The range for a litre of water is about 11~13 grams of loose long leaf tea. The most important is letting the tea rest and the leafs fall.
Oh no all the sophisticated people and the British people and the infuser culture are not gonna like you for this video😂 ....no sponsors from them (but it's okay 👍) like you said the real professionals know tea leaves just need room yo breath.....now here did I learn that from haha (wink wink). Not going to lie though, when I first saw this video, I was expecting something fancy. I do have an infuser and that fancy tray because it's just fun😂.
this is WAY too complex ! * boil water ( it's SO un nec' to check the temp' , water boils at 100C) * use loose leaf tea in a silicone infuser . simple !
most folks don't have a scale at home that can get down to the gram; this video is more for making loose leaf accessible to the masses. if you can and like to weigh your tea, go for it!
@@MissMaryLu fair comment Mary. They're not exactly prohibitively expensive though, so I'd personally recommend getting one and taking the guesswork out.
thank you for your thoughts on my video that was created with a lot of love and joy and hours of work. i hope you find content someday that resonates with you.
What are your favorite ways to brew loose leaves? Any other tea questions?
Thanks for answering my question! You're kinda the greatest. I sipped tea while I watched. But not loose leaf. Next time. ;)
Victoria Hansen Haha of course! Thank YOU for asking!
I have an instant hot, doesn't get as hot as boiling but soooo much easier :-)
@@wsmith1213 oooo, that's a great idea!
I’ve never had loose leaf tea, but I went to a tea shop today and it was magical and now I want all the fancy tea
And you can totally make it at home without fancy equipment! I'm glad you're in a whole new world!

I'm so, so glad I could help!! I double checked this technique with some tea experts and this is the way to do it!
I just ordered a bunch of loose leaf tea, that's why I'm here. But I'm too distracted by your STUNNING makeup!!!!! ❤

Idk about tea but I'd love a make-up tutorial from you. Your make-up looks so flawless 😍

Gong fu Cha has been my favorite way of drinking tea. More leaves and less water = less brew time. No need to sweeten with loose leaf
This was great thank you
You are so welcome!
Awesome hack! I agree with letting the tea swim in the water, but I've bought the bottom straining containers. This hack is awesome. I hope I remember it when my most recently bought bottom straining container goes kaput.
Thanks so much Matthew! I hope it comes in handy 😊
Loose leaf tea is just the best!
Ciara Walsh Totally agreed! ✨☕♥️
U saved my tea life
Oh my goodness you’re so beautiful!💕 keep shining! Your channel is awesome!
You have given me hope, thx. I bought all this tea fro a company with no instructions except:steep 5 mins. Water at 212 degrees.
Ok Lady ......U ROCK!!!!this info rocks too.Really enjoyed this lessen 💓new sub btw.
I just use my French press. Comes out great every time 👌
i make an ice bath to put the cup of tea in to speed up the cooling before putting ice in.
that's a great idea!
Awesome video! You should definitely upload/ stream more
Thank you...but whats a great idea to use the tea leaves after straining?
Hi I just found your channel...tea addict and you have chronic fatigue I’m so glad I found you!
Miss Adventure OMG welcome! I'm so glad you found our little family! ♥️☕
Take the time and the tea 😁 to get better! You are my fave tea time channel👍🏽🤗
Aw, thank you Deb ☕💖 I'm making a cuppa right now!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Made some Oolong Tea this morning and it was awesome. Stay safe!
yummmm oolong! and you, too
Spreading the truth!!! 😍 Tea don't need no fancy equipment! Lol except maybe a clay pot. 😁 I love this episode!
Oh yay, I'm so glad you love it! And you know, I don't actually have a clay pot in my collection! I've heard they're brilliant for developing flavor
Alton Brown he was fun to watch ⌚.... You know what I think I'm going to look up a episode on RUclips 😊
I had an apple and peach tea at a tea shop in virginia and i havent been able to find it since but i love tea ouo subbed x3
ZachiroEnigma0 Welcome to the fam! Ooo and apple peach, huh? Do you remember what the tea shop was called? They might ship online
A 3 inch basket infuser (designed for a teapot) fits perfectly in a standard mug, and gives plenty of room for the tea to swim around.
I've only had bagged tea or tea shop tea. But I want to get a gaiwan and some loose leaf.
i think you'll really love it! it's a whole wonderful world
Love your videos, love your songs, and love your mugs!! Kisses!!
kellymillan I'm so glad you're still watching! Thank you so so so much for being here ♥️♥️♥️
Love this video!! You’re beautiful girly💗
Aw, brilynn! Thank you 💖☕

Oh, wow! I need to find one 😻😻
Ty....
Yay! Great video! Can you reuse the tea for a 2nd or 3rd pour?
Aw, I'm so glad you liked it! Depending on the leaves, yes, you can totally re-brew. General rule, bigger the leaves, the better they'll taste the second time around!

I love RUclips. Been making my tea wrong this whole time!
Aw! I gotchu 😊☕✨
Theres no wrong way to make tea lol
10/10
Thanks. I'm using my Sherlock tea set and want to get off to an informal start during the pandemic where no one can see me fuck up my tea game in front of my poster of Benedict Cumberbatch.
To drink loose leaf tea, I use a mug and a bombilla. Less mess.
That's a great idea!
So, brewing loose leafe black tea is different aye? Like, boiling green tea wouldnt be a great idea on the stove? If so, why?
Green tea leaves are a bit more delicate than black tea, and certain compounds can start to break down and alter the taste of the water is too hot. But the most important thing is to brew it how you like it 💖☕
Omg I just found you and I freakin ADORE your personality. Slapping that sub
Aw aw aw Natalie!!! You made my day 💖☕💖☕💖☕💖☕💖☕💖☕💖☕
Is it bad to eat the brewed loose leaf teas
Hm, you know I've never thought about that before 🤔
Great video!
Thanks so much! ☕♥️
First Time watching and you got me smiling. I like you 😁😊
But isnt it nice to Use a quaint cute teapot? Part of the experience, Don’t ya think? Tea drinking should make u feel quaint and fancy in my opinion anyway
Where can I get a mug like yours?
i got this one from T2!
Can i store the leftover tea and drink it the other day?
You could, but I don't super recommend it. What I do is rebrew that day and stick it in the fridge. It'll have a lot less caffeine the second steep 😊

Hey what's the big idea you stole my heart cheers from California day late and a dollar short.
Mono sucks, hope you get better quickly
C Jar thanks. Stiiiiill sick but working on it
Miss Mary Lu - oh no, praying for your health

Bolderdash. Weigh your tea.

this is WAY too complex ! * boil water ( it's SO un nec' to check the temp' , water boils at 100C) * use loose leaf tea in a silicone infuser . simple !
ahhhhhh but confining the leaves changes the flavor. if you've never brewed loose, i super recommend it!
@@MissMaryLu i've brewed / made LL' tea MANY times in a Tpot . silicone infusers are far superior & deliver a more flavourful taste .
So what you're telling me is the trick to loose leaf tea is to brew it... loose? Idk, sounds pretty far fetched to me.
You lost me when you said the "trick" was not measuring accurately.
most folks don't have a scale at home that can get down to the gram; this video is more for making loose leaf accessible to the masses. if you can and like to weigh your tea, go for it!
@@MissMaryLu fair comment Mary. They're not exactly prohibitively expensive though, so I'd personally recommend getting one and taking the guesswork out.
over 6 mins to tell us that....grrr. annoying girl too.
