Imelda Chandra because teas aren’t that popular in America, many Americans do find it difficult to understand how much we drink tea in some countries. In my country we’re pretty much constantly drinking tea. Here, we spend nearly three times as long making tea as we do exercising.
Disappointed China and Turkey weren’t here :/ but I’m happy about all the other countries and learning about their customs, especially India and Morocco. Also good thing they brought up the whole “chai tea” meaning “tea tea” haha. Vanilla chai from Dunkin has always been a favorite.
But it DOESN'T mean "tea tea" in the states. "Chai" means "spiced" here. Why? Because words can and do take on different meanings. We literally already have the word "tea." Why in earth would we need another word for it?
@@Elsisalittleconcerned Tea is NOT that old for us Indians. Tea was introduced to Indians as a recreational beverage by the Brits. The Indian word for Tea (CHAI) has its roots in the Chinese word CHA. Incidentally even the word Tea has its roots in another Chinese word (TEE).

Wow, girl, I'm working in a tea and coffee shop so each of your words made me think about specific kinds of tea what we have (it's around 200+ kinds of tea in our company)😄
This hits hard because when l was 9 I had a really bad sore throat for 2 months which hurt bad.l got stuck to eating soup . But whenever l drank tea it would soothe a little for some time really did help also the soft drinks as they somewhat soothed the throat temporarily
As a Chinese, I would like to say that the main reason for different drinking methods is usually the difference in tea varieties. For example, green tea is usually only soaked in boiling water for 15 seconds, and the tea will become bitter after a long time; White tea need boil with spices; Pu'er tea needs to be soaked in hot water for half an hour to reveal its flavor; black tea can be mixed with milk to make milk tea.
Interesting, I thought it was most common to just make green tea in a glass then refill with water(not boiling) when you’re near the bottom. I know you can boil other heicha like fuzhuan, but I haven’t seen many people boiling puer for so long. Maybe it’s a regional difference?

Salty milk tea sounds pretty good. As someone who has problems getting enough salt into my diet I've put a little salt in black coffee and black tea, and even a little salted butter a few times, in the past. I'll have to try salted milk tea.
Loved the fact that Argentina and mate (I totally share the spirit of mate and I love it) is featured, but technically TEA is the camellia sinensis plant infusion. Yerba mate is a totally different plant. Mate is not tea. These are two different things that come from a different plant... But I loved the episode! Greetings from Argentina!
That is exactly how tea came to be in ancient China, not joking. Some Chinese scholars/diplomats (I forgot whom) sat under a tree drinking boiled water when pieces of leaves from a tree above fell into their cups. Then bingo, here you have the birth of tea.
"Leaves from the vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Comes marching home."
@@meenashideshmukh2044 Try not to. One or two cups a day is fine. Caffeinated drinks are not good for your health in a long run especially for females.
There should definitely be a part 2 of tea! I'm seeing a lot of comments mentioning China and Turkey and I'd be interested to know more about those. As a Malaysian, I'd also like to see some teh tarik representation!
Yes, Malaysian teh tarik is so good. Even the instant, powdered teh tarik is good. Whenever my relatives visit Malaysia I'll always ask them to bring me a huge pack of instant teh tarik.
In Argentina when you're drinking mate with another person, you take turns drinking from the same cup, instead of each one having their own. You drink the whole cup before giving it back. In theory the metal kills germs but really no one minds the hygiene, it's such a huge part of the culture The host is the only one who refills the water and usually drinks first, since the first sip is the most bitter. In some places the guest signals he doesn't want any more by saying "thanks" when he gives back the gourd. In the summer is common to use fruit juice instead of water
I tried this when we had some Argentinian exchange students last year. Some people were understandably adamant about doing it, but I went ahead and mingled in the mate corner.
The main reason is the means of transportation. The countries which had the leaves through land trade routes were named "chai" or "matcha" (generally Asian and Indo-european countries); the ones who went to Europe and America are just named "tea"
Tea growing regions in India, all having their distinct taste Assam Tea Darjeeling Tea Nilgiri Tea Kangra Tea People in India also consume Butter tea, Gur (Jaggery tea). Masala Tea - I love Bay leaves and Cinnamon Tea
i came here just to see if they were showing moroccan tea and im so glad they did! We literally drink tea at ALL times, for breakfast, lunch, as a snack and dinner. There's not a single moroccan household where they don't drink tea on a daily basis😂
I work at a coffee shop in Canada and we have a lot of students from India who come in to order chai. Now I understand why 🤗 Not to say our chai is even close to as good as what they probably had at home (its just instant bagged tea) but I suppose it's close enough to remind them of home. ❤
Chai is the literal energy drink. Once it flows down your throat , it's an amazing feeling. Everything feels at ease , calm. I'm sorry if I exaggerated , I was just trying to give out the feels Lol
Here in Canada, we have something called a "London Fog" and it's basically a latte, but made with Earl Grey tea and a splash of vanilla. I'm not a big tea person, or a caffeine person in general, but a London Fog really brings out the floral flavours in the Earl Grey. And this is done with many different types of tea, each with its own name! One made with matcha is a Tokyo Fog, one made with chai is a Bangalore Fog, a Dublin Fog is made with Irish Breakfast Tea, a Maui Fog has coconut instead of the vanilla syrup. If you're in the US and want to try it, get a Starbucks Earl Grey Latte, it's basically a London Fog! :D
Yes!! London Fogs are amazing. There's also a Toronto cafe chain called Balzac's that uses French Breakfast tea instead of English and they call it the Parisian Mist :)
Haha I was also thinking "once a day is nothing!" In Bahrain we drink tea with breakfast, in the afternoon, and with dinner + whenever you're up late studying/working. AT LEAST 2-4 times a day
@@YashKumar-ve9hg India and Iran culture is kinda similar specially in South east parts of Iran, even the folk music of those parts is similar to Indian folk music (for example those red flutes with a ball thing in the middle, i dont know its name). and also both Iran and India are big producers of tea.
@Danburybeeches To be fair pretending she liked them seems even more disrespectful LOL. I feel like you can appreciate the tradition regardless of if you actually like the product.
I think it is fair to say there is a part 2 of this, unless China and Turkey got excluded somehow. (But given the notebook I am pretty sure part 2 it is)
In Malaysia, we love to make thick tea, pour some condensed milk and evaporated milk then mix it all by tossing the tea from one cup to another. It will be so bubbly and you can put ice or just drink it warm and sometimes people prefer it to be hot. We call it "Teh Tarik" which literally mean "Pulled Tea". We (Malaysian) love to drink this for breakfast or if the day feels cold. I really hope our tea can be in this video but I it's not... But it's okay. I'm giving brief information about Malaysia's no.1 tea is enough I hope😊
so a bit like copied from the way some Indians do with tea and coffee? make thick tea or coffee pour from heights multiple times to form foam like some latte.
Really enjoyed this. Being British, tea is our way of life. I loved each country showing us what tea means and how to prepare. One country I am surprised you never covered is Turkey. Turkey drink more tea per head than any country on earth! They love it and it is everywhere you go. Watching tea sellers negotiate routes thru busy markets is amazing.
Well, actually, Morocco, is an African country. Sure, it's on the nothern part of the African continent but still. If you look on a map it's pretty much an African country... Maybe some will tell that Morocco is part of the Maghreb, so "it's a little different from the rest of the continent", but hey, it's still on the continent, so try again maybe.
@@umbrellabirb2959 Well... some coffee lovers (like she said she drinks coffee & not tea) would say it as they breathe with coffee. Anyways Imma a tea lover
It's very easy to understand. People who don't want to drink tea or never drink tea never prepare it properly. If they learn and they know how to prepare it and know how to make something truly delicious out of tea I'm sure they would appreciate tea even more it's just like coffee. Only, as far as I can see, it seems like tea is harder to make into something delicious. I would never make tea on my own because my cousins' and grandmother's tea making I can never top. They really have magical hands.
I love this series! The host is so relaxed and non-judgemental when it comes to the taste of the teas and the cultural differences. Even if she isn’t big on something she tries, she still keeps it positive and continues on 😌😌
Fun facts about Russian history. We didn't know about alcohol until 18th century. Really. Yep, we had beer and mead, but it was too expensive, and they wasn't so popular like zvar, kvas or kompot. "The great epidemy of alcoholism" started in 1960s, because of communists policy. In our days, drinking alcohol in Russia is "зашквар".
In Hong Kong, karaoke packages thrown in mixers for free if you buy whiskey by the bottle. The mixers (by pitcher) are always soda water, coke and *green tea*. Drinking green tea with whiskey in rocks glasses is a time-honored tradition and initiation for those who choose to spend their 18th birthdays drinking. Also lots of healthy doses of Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Sam Hui, Sammi Cheung, Anita Mui, et al.
@@da_yanti.f.6363 oh, every time, when I heard from western people(mostly from americans) how I suppose to live my live as a Russian... Well, in not just "shocked".
I am Syrian, and even I recognize that China should have been added to the video. Not hating, just a suggestion. It would have made your research more wholesome as tea was discovered in China. The arabs and Turks and other people in the surrounding areas discovered tea from China via the silk road. Britian didnt even have tea until the 1600s (from China).
We definitely need a part two, there are so many places that need to be talked about. Tea is the second most comsumed liquid besides water so there are a plethora of different ways to make it.
Mother of Ghosts that’s true. I was fully expecting her to talk about about Oolong tea as the traditional Taiwanese tea. Still I’m not complaining about bubble tea being included 😆
Yeah it's so disappointing that they skipped China and Taiwan's traditional tea, which is the ORIGIN of all tea. The gaoshan cha from Taiwan is legendary. I drink it more than anything else. Full luggage of it whenever I fly to the US.
I was weirdly psyched during this episode because I love tea so much. There should be entire travel shows dedicated to tea around the world, because there is always more to see.
The yerba mate is not only Argentinian, it is also Brazilian. You pass around the 'chimarrao' which is what it is called in Brasil to other people around you. In Piratini, where my great uncle grew up, there are public hot water fountains just for this drink. It's a nice way to reconnect with my Guarani heritage.
Funny story about matcha: My friends and I came to Japan for a cultural immersion and one of the things in our itinerary was a Japanese tea ceremony. My friend was really cocky, saying he’ll enjoy the matcha since he enjoys matcha lattes. Keep in mind that matcha lattes in my country are really sweet since they are premixed for cafes to use. With that in mind I said ok, we’ll see. We get to the tea room in the school that was hosting the immersion. We were given specific instructions and one such instruction was “eat the mochi BEFORE you drink the tea, and eat the sugar cookies WHILE drinking the tea.” This idiot of mine didn’t listen to a damn thing. So while we waited for the tea master to finish boiling the water, my friend kept staring at the plate of sweets (1 mochi, 3 sugar cookies), and started eating the cookies. And I stared in horror, but then i said you know what nevermind let’s see what happens. They left one cookie, and the mochi alone. The tea master came down the line of students sat in a circle, then when she reached me and my friend, she just looked curiously at his nearly empty platter of seeets and looked at me with a “are they being serious” face. I shrugged and watched in bliss at the face of my friend as they slowly regretted not paying attention.
Morning Chai in India is great; but the feeling of having it on a beautiful rainy sunday evening in Bombay along with Kanda bhajji (Onion fritters) and Vada pav (Bombay style veg burger) is just serene and magical.
I love this! My husband is from India too, and same story I don’t know much Hindi and my mother in law taught me how to make chai as well as other Indian dishes! So beautiful!!! I love seeing the parallels with a stranger, i love this type of content keep up the great work. :)
I love how this video shows many different customs without judging them while at the same time giving honest reviews about the teas’ flavours instead of being fake like “omg its so good”
@@FatehaYeasmin-ws5ox , you may make the greatest tea. But who could possibly tell. One always hopes to find something likewise or even better. I once did drink russian tea which owed his special flaviour to certain aromas from camp fires, nowadays artificial, presumably. Try!
It’s because the video was about different ways of drinking tea and Turkey drinks tea the same way as Russia does. So does Iran. We do the same things.
That tea, made from the hibiscus flower 🌺, is a common ingredient in mixed herb teas. It lends a fruity tartness and a delightful red color to the finished drink.
They should’ve had China in this. China was the inventor, and had a whole war because of tea. Tea is highly dug into China’s history, would’ve been perfect to compare China’s way of tea to other cultures.
China consumes most amount of tea by amount, and turkey consumes most per capita, and both were not included. I think they included what was available easiest and not the most important so no worries.
I thought it was funny how UK is considered this sophisticated tea drinking country, but 96% of them drink tea from tea bags, which is considered the lowest quality tea.
Hey Beryl, I really like the way you express your love towards India & it's culture, & especially your mother-in-law, as you are learning a lot from her. Your videos shows a natural reality. Keep it up 👍
I would love to try some of these while I'm sick, tea kind of wakes me up and it feels nice to have that nostalgic feeling. Especially during the autumn and winter
It was really fun to see your love for teas and herbals come through. I wish you had showed a bit more of traditional tea, especially from China. It's the birthplace of tea and I feel like you skipped over it. It would have been a great chance to showcase brewing in a gaiwan or clay teapot! Also, the word "tea" is widely used to describe the liquor from most plants after they have been boiled or heated, however, tea is technically a part of the Camellia plants. Also, if you make more matcha at home, you may either need to whisk it longer or use more matcha powder--you really want to see foam on the top. Cheers and happy drinking!
Understandably, it's a bit harder to master for a few quick seconds on screen and a quick sip. I can get a person brewing matcha for instance in just a few tries. Gongfu cha on the other hand takes some real getting used to. And brewing it wrong has some bitter downsides that will definitely skew the taste of a good tea.
@@raymondwhatley9954 True, but the thing I respected about this video and channel overall is that she actually gave a fair attempt to make everything she tried, while giving her personal impressions on what it's like. Giving her personal opinion on Gongfu style and Chinese teas as a whole, while western brewing it would break the whole feel of the channel. At that point, it's better to either acknowledge gongfu while saying you'd rather not invest the time and effort it takes to get it right, or skip it entirely as done here.
That may not be the case, at least I hope it isn't. Taiwan actually handled covid 19 much better than most contries. They avoided a lockdown and as of writing this there have been arround 450 cases and only 7 deaths.
hi! I'm Taiwanese and visit there often. This guy probably didn't lose his business because, well, most places to get food are more run down and authentic are like his is, and most stores like that, while it doesn't look like it, do delivery services like ubereats :) Combine that with the fact that Taiwan handled covid much better than most countries and you can guess that he probably is fine :)
@@FelipeMarques0809 You're probably Brazilian, I guess. Então, o mate é brasileiro e argentino também, não tem um país específico, porque é uma cultura que provém dos indígenas nativos.
I am a little disappointed that sweet tea culture wasn’t featured, but frankly I’m too happy to find a nice tea related video that I’m not too disappointed. Actually I really enjoyed the Russian take as I feel I rarely see that one in my own tea culture research. It just makes me happy to hear more about tea and the love others feel for it too!
When I went to the region of Daguestan, the last day we were invited for tea.Once there the host received us with a mighty meal and then reparted this curious looking cups.Or rather curious looking glasses.The tradicional tea cups are made out of glass, they have an hour glass shape, without handles.A removable metal structure covers the lower part and ends in a handle-Once the tea is poured , it cools quickly because of the design-Even though lemon was a not local fruit( the region is very dry instead) it has been commonly used to bring flavor to the tea.For centuries Daguestan was a melting pot of cultures thanks to its position in the map,you see, Daguestan was one of the cities who grew around ancient commercial routes and then the Silk Road -Finally the tea is acommpanied with a sweet conserve, my favorite being the figs one.
"Things to do, once quarantine is lifted": Drink tea. Like, A WHOLE WEEK. And everyday must be a different kind of tea. *Thank you, Beryl!!! This is a GREAT idea.*
So the idea of the phrase is that if a country was introduced to tea via the Silk Road they generally call it “cha” or some variation of it because that is the pronunciation throughout most of China. The “Te” pronunciation comes from the coastal dialects of China, so countries that got introduced to tea via maritime trade (like England and most of Western Europe) call it some variation of tea.
Can't believe Yerba Mate was included in this vid, I love the stuff but I would never have considered it in a tea video, seeing its more of a herbal tea than an actual black tea We drink it in Chile but mostly in the south and in private, black tea is generally king here
I love tea so this video made me feel all warm (no pun intended) and happy inside. Seeing the different cultures’ takes on the same beverage is beautiful, in a way! It also reminded me of when I took russian in college and the profesor (who is russian herself) had a day where she just explained the history and practice of tea drinking in Russia while we ate and drank. It’s a very fond memory!
...And that is why I bring my own tea when I go out of town. Can't expect American restaurants to offer good choices in that area, unfortunately. I think that will change over time, though.
I absolutely cannot believe that you skipped Turkey. The world’s most tea consuming country with our own domestically produced tea from Eastern Black Sea coast.
Mojo jojo they probably meant most tea consumption *per capita* which is true, turkey has the most consumption *per capita* . of course a country with a population of 83 million cannot compete with india's 1,3 billion, china's 1,4 billion, pakistan's 194 million or bangladesh's 165 million population count. even the smallest of these, bangladesh, has more than double the population of turkey. that would not be a fair judging point, because the numbers are vastly different, of course turkey would be outnumbered by a whole lot. as i said in the beginning, they are probably talking about a per capita ranking, which is true, you can look it up actually.
A very interesting cultural difference. In China, tea refers to water made only from tea leaves, just like in the American sense of coffee. I highly recommend you to try the Chinese way of drinking tea, because tea is slightly bitter and sweet after the wonderful feeling, especially black tea, will be accompanied by special honey and sweet potato aroma!
I'm upset there's no mention of Chinese tea, and yeah I get it China is China, but dayum missing Turkey and Ireland… all I can think of is sloppy journalism

Loved the fact that Argentina and mate (I totally share the spirit of mate and I love it) is featured, but technically TEA is the camellia sinensis plant infusion. Yerba mate is a totally different plant. Mate is not tea. These are two different things that come from a different plant... But I loved the episode! Greetings from Argentina!
Same with the Chai in the videoq! There's no tea in it. The Chai I drink has tea, and sweet spices.
@@sheilaathay2034 Traditional Indian chai absolutely has tea in it. Strong black tea (usually from Assam) is the base for a good cup of chai.
Sometime ago in china:
Student: There's a leaf in your water
Teacher, about to invent tea: Oh, haven't you heard?
Liu Xiaokun ehh close enough
That is exactly how tea came to be in ancient China, not joking. Some Chinese scholars/diplomats (I forgot whom) sat under a tree drinking boiled water when pieces of leaves from a tree above fell into their cups. Then bingo, here you have the birth of tea.

In Argentina when you're drinking mate with another person, you take turns drinking from the same cup, instead of each one having their own. You drink the whole cup before giving it back. In theory the metal kills germs but really no one minds the hygiene, it's such a huge part of the culture
The host is the only one who refills the water and usually drinks first, since the first sip is the most bitter.
In some places the guest signals he doesn't want any more by saying "thanks" when he gives back the gourd.
In the summer is common to use fruit juice instead of water
It makes me sad that because of the pandemic, I'd imagine most have stopped doing this. There's something intimate and friendly about sharing a drink.
Wow i would like to try this one. Amazing
I tried this when we had some Argentinian exchange students last year. Some people were understandably adamant about doing it, but I went ahead and mingled in the mate corner.

It is same in Turkish! "Çay" for tea, "şeker" for sugar

Duh ! Russian and Hindi are Indo-European languages.
The main reason is the means of transportation. The countries which had the leaves through land trade routes were named "chai" or "matcha" (generally Asian and Indo-european countries); the ones who went to Europe and America are just named "tea"

Here in Canada, we have something called a "London Fog" and it's basically a latte, but made with Earl Grey tea and a splash of vanilla. I'm not a big tea person, or a caffeine person in general, but a London Fog really brings out the floral flavours in the Earl Grey.

In Malaysia, we love to make thick tea, pour some condensed milk and evaporated milk then mix it all by tossing the tea from one cup to another. It will be so bubbly and you can put ice or just drink it warm and sometimes people prefer it to be hot. We call it "Teh Tarik" which literally mean "Pulled Tea".

If they learn and they know how to prepare it and know how to make something truly delicious out of tea I'm sure they would appreciate tea even more it's just like coffee. Only, as far as I can see, it seems like tea is harder to make into something delicious. I would never make tea on my own because my cousins' and grandmother's tea making I can never top.

"A measure to make people drink less alcohol"
I-
That's believable.
Fun facts about Russian history.
We didn't know about alcohol until 18th century. Really. Yep, we had beer and mead, but it was too expensive, and they wasn't so popular like zvar, kvas or kompot. "The great epidemy of alcoholism" started in 1960s, because of communists policy.
In our days, drinking alcohol in Russia is "зашквар".
In Hong Kong, karaoke packages thrown in mixers for free if you buy whiskey by the bottle. The mixers (by pitcher) are always soda water, coke and *green tea*. Drinking green tea with whiskey in rocks glasses is a time-honored tradition and initiation for those who choose to spend their 18th birthdays drinking. Also lots of healthy doses of Jay Chou, Eason Chan, Sam Hui, Sammi Cheung, Anita Mui, et al.

Funny story about matcha:
My friends and I came to Japan for a cultural immersion and one of the things in our itinerary was a Japanese tea ceremony. My friend was really cocky, saying he’ll enjoy the matcha since he enjoys matcha lattes. Keep in mind that matcha lattes in my country are really sweet since they are premixed for cafes to use. With that in mind I said ok, we’ll see.
We get to the tea room in the school that was hosting the immersion. We were given specific instructions and one such instruction was “eat the mochi BEFORE you drink the tea, and eat the sugar cookies WHILE drinking the tea.”
This idiot of mine didn’t listen to a damn thing. So while we waited for the tea master to finish boiling the water, my friend kept staring at the plate of sweets (1 mochi, 3 sugar cookies), and started eating the cookies. And I stared in horror, but then i said you know what nevermind let’s see what happens. They left one cookie, and the mochi alone. The tea master came down the line of students sat in a circle, then when she reached me and my friend, she just looked curiously at his nearly empty platter of seeets and looked at me with a “are they being serious” face. I shrugged and watched in bliss at the face of my friend as they slowly regretted not paying attention.
Morning Chai in India is great; but the feeling of having it on a beautiful rainy sunday evening in Bombay along with Kanda bhajji (Onion fritters) and Vada pav (Bombay style veg burger) is just serene and magical.

It was really fun to see your love for teas and herbals come through. I wish you had showed a bit more of traditional tea, especially from China. It's the birthplace of tea and I feel like you skipped over it. It would have been a great chance to showcase brewing in a gaiwan or clay teapot! Also, the word "tea" is widely used to describe the liquor from most plants after they have been boiled or heated, however, tea is technically a part of the Camellia plants. Also, if you make more matcha at home, you may either need to whisk it longer or use more matcha powder--you really want to see foam on the top. Cheers and happy drinking!
Understandably, it's a bit harder to master for a few quick seconds on screen and a quick sip. I can get a person brewing matcha for instance in just a few tries. Gongfu cha on the other hand takes some real getting used to. And brewing it wrong has some bitter downsides that will definitely skew the taste of a good tea.
@@BrandonColonel True but even just western brewing an Oolong or something and talking about China would have been cool.
@@raymondwhatley9954 True, but the thing I respected about this video and channel overall is that she actually gave a fair attempt to make everything she tried, while giving her personal impressions on what it's like.

When I went to the region of Daguestan, the last day we were invited for tea.Once there the host received us with a mighty meal and then reparted this curious looking cups.Or rather curious looking glasses.The tradicional tea cups are made out of glass, they have an hour glass shape, without handles.A removable metal structure covers the lower part and ends in a handle-Once the tea is poured , it cools quickly because of the design-Even though lemon was a not local fruit( the region is very dry instead) it has been commonly used to bring flavor to the tea.For centuries Daguestan was a melting pot of cultures thanks to its position in the map,you see, Daguestan was one of the cities who grew around ancient commercial routes and then the Silk Road -Finally the tea is acommpanied with a sweet conserve, my favorite being the figs one.

"Tea if by sea, Cha if by land"
No but I'm intrigued! Tell me more if u don't mind :)
So the idea of the phrase is that if a country was introduced to tea via the Silk Road they generally call it “cha” or some variation of it because that is the pronunciation throughout most of China. The “Te” pronunciation comes from the coastal dialects of China, so countries that got introduced to tea via maritime trade (like England and most of Western Europe) call it some variation of tea.

I love the stuff but I would never have considered it in a tea video, seeing its more of a herbal tea than an actual black tea
We drink it in Chile but mostly in the south and in private, black tea is generally king here
I love tea so this video made me feel all warm (no pun intended) and happy inside. Seeing the different cultures’ takes on the same beverage is beautiful, in a way! It also reminded me of when I took russian in college and the profesor (who is russian herself) had a day where she just explained the history and practice of tea drinking in Russia while we ate and drank. It’s a very fond memory!
She's talking about tea and I'm more interested in Blitz n' chitz poster
BLITZ N' CHITZ!!
asking for tea America: “auhhhh yeah i think we have some Lipton in the back. and you want two tea bags in that, right?”
Where I'm from, the question isn't how strong you want it, it's how much sugar/simple syrup do you want in it.
As a southern child, I used to be very confused when people drank hot unsweetened tea 🤣 sweet tea for the win!
Hmm not really. Maybe if you ask for hot tea, but most places will actually just give you Southern sweet tea.
We prepare our tea by steeping it in a harbor. 😂
...And that is why I bring my own tea when I go out of town. Can't expect American restaurants to offer good choices in that area, unfortunately. I think that will change over time, though.
Welcoming guests with a good tea is a universal goodie
I absolutely cannot believe that you skipped Turkey. The world’s most tea consuming country with our own domestically produced tea from Eastern Black Sea coast.
Well is it distinct from all the types of tea shown in this video ?
😐 the world's most tea consuming country! What about india, china, pakistan,bangladesh? They drink far more then you drink 😂😂
Mojo jojo in Turkey, in some cities people literally drink tea more than they drink water
They also skipped China aka the place who first tea
Mojo jojo they probably meant most tea consumption *per capita* which is true, turkey has the most consumption *per capita* . of course a country with a population of 83 million cannot compete with india's 1,3 billion, china's 1,4 billion, pakistan's 194 million or bangladesh's 165 million population count. even the smallest of these, bangladesh, has more than double the population of turkey. that would not be a fair judging point, because the numbers are vastly different, of course turkey would be outnumbered by a whole lot. as i said in the beginning, they are probably talking about a per capita ranking, which is true, you can look it up actually.
And then there’s me, an American, drinking my Americanized green tea sugar water that’s named after a state
Ha, I know which state it is. 😂
Price is on the can though!
Now that you mention it, it's a missed opportunity. The southern way of drinking tea that's made of more sugar than tea is very unique to America lol
I like their blueberry tea, but its harder to find.
I love my sweet iced tea! I prefer it made with black tea with no lemon or other fruit flavors. Very refreshing!
A very interesting cultural difference. In China, tea refers to water made only from tea leaves, just like in the American sense of coffee. I highly recommend you to try the Chinese way of drinking tea, because tea is slightly bitter and sweet after the wonderful feeling, especially black tea, will be accompanied by special honey and sweet potato aroma!
"We make tea with love so you feel appreciated and understand that you are important to us."
Watching this while sipping on tea.
Something about your face feels calm & invites serenity ❤
Not a mention of Ireland. We're the second biggest tea drinkers after Turkey (no mention of them either).
And Sri Lanka
Sanuji Ratnayake Sri Lanka isn’t even in the top 54 www.statista.com/statistics/507950/global-per-capita-tea-consumption-by-country/
@@steviedavidson5130 bruh
Gman _ Origin what?
I'm upset there's no mention of Chinese tea, and yeah I get it China is China, but dayum missing Turkey and Ireland… all I can think of is sloppy journalism
