Hey guys, what's up? it's Alex, so it's actually, um,

8:30 in the morning. I am not in my city. I'm in London in the UK.

to 不定詞

For a specific reason because this afternoon, I've got a conference during which I'm going to explain my journey

but until then I've got some free time so I thought

do an episode I've been willing to do for so long? My goal today

Is just to guide you through this discovery I made in the past. What does it feel to taste real tea?

I hope you understand the basics also the different types of tea, so I say we start with the common stuff:

For this experience I'm going to use PG tips. Which is a very common key here in the uk and

Brew for 1-2 minutes, as it's written on the package then remove the teabag. Always use fresh milk. [haha]

Shit, the color is not bad. It doesn't shout tea to me

It's sweet. It's soft. It is slightly fatty there is a light bitterness behind this. Do not get me wrong

It's not bad, but it's not good either so at the end of the you're not left with

Something very you know persistent in the mouth. So now I say we move on in this you know tea eye-opening Journey I

Don't know about you guys, but I've always had this thing with tea that I feel like tea is

British in some way, but the more and more I learn about tea and the less and less I feel so I feel now like

Asian than western so we are going to take the bus to go and see my friend the tea specialist

And I think it would benefit from that time just to share with you some knowledge

I learned the hard way about tea. First thing you need to know about tea

Is that all the tea on the planet comes from one plant and one plant only. The specie is called

[so] long story short the mic was off the whole duration of the bus journey how lovely is that anyway

I'm going to dub this part, so [that] plant Camellia, Sinensis

Is a subtropical region, but it's now available

Everywhere on the planet. It's worth mentioning that it's the second most

proper brew is made by infusing the leaves

tea plant into hot water usually boiling water, but it isn't have to be always boiling

[alright] people I just arrived at my friend's place

So I see we're going to keep learning new things about tea, and hopefully drink some decent tea now

[see] you man such a nice place, [really]. Oh, thank you. Let me show you around

and now my studio organization looks rubbish [ah]

Can you tell a bit - the viewers about what you do

I'm a tea lover, first and foremost a tea lover. So that's my that's my whole remitted life

In London Mayleaf tea house where we just have loads and loads of different types of tea. We've got a Youtube channel

That you can learn everything and anything you need to know about tea.

Alex: Did you just plug your Youtube channel?

Don: Yeah, of course. You've got to take every opportunity

The different types of tea so can you help me doing this around the shop?

Don: You will know about white tea? Alex: Yeah absolutely

Which has been picked and then dried very very simple.

But it needs to be done right with anything that's simple as you know, with cooking if it's not done spot-on

It's not going to be good. So the green tea green tea is basically what they're doing

Is they're picking very young leaves buds and young leaves and then they heating the leaf up very quickly

Okay Roger that --Right so you heat the leaf up to deactivate enzymes in the leaf- stops it from oxidizing

Next up is probably one of the most rarities is yellow tea. --Yellow tea?--Yellow tea.

They produce in an exact same way as green tea, but then after the heating phase they cover it up

They wrap it in a nice blanket. They steam it, they let- wrap it up and it basically

Exists in a kind of humid environment. --You see that's the passion we're looking for;

this right here.-- I can't help myself, right?

Next one --Next one is Oolong tea.--Oolong tea, I love oolong tea. --Many people have a

passionate love affair with oolong tea and the reason for that is because the palette of flavors for oolong tea is so wide

Because if you imagine green tea is unoxidized tea right? Because it's been heated to deactivate the enzyme

Black tea is fully oxidized tea so about 80 to 90 percent above

You've got this window from about 10 percent to 90 percent that's oolong tea. Come around here

Next and probably the most widely known is black tea.--Black tea. So I had black tea -spoiler alert-this morning

I had a tea bag of PG tips as I told you I'm guessing this is not exactly the same stuff

It's not exactly the same stuff. We're not gonna-- This might be very offending just to say that.--No. no, hey

I've been brought up on the tea bag tea so like you know I've drunk a lot of that

But this is like a whole other world. It's just a different- It's just a completely different drink really so black tea is

Fully oxidized tea which means that they pick it, they allow it

They roll it either by hand or with small machines

So they roll it they crush the leaf, they get all the essential oils to the surface, leave it in the air to oxidize and it

becomes black, right? and then they heat it, dry it and sometimes roast it

So I have a this question about black tea . So is this really more powerful than [than] green tea?

Is it stronger in terms of taste or is it stronger in terms of caffeine for example?

It's not stronger in terms of caffeine. It's a very common misconception that the darker and stronger

the tea, the higher the caffeine that's not true. --Okay

The caffeine content depends on a whole load of things, but specifically which part of the plant was picked

--Mmm, that's the bud thing? --buds, young leaves-very, very important okay?-- okay, Cool

Right, now now we're entering a whole new world. Okay. This is a really interesting world and it

Needs a whole episode basically, but post-fermented tea is basically means you're picking the tea

And you're processing it similar to a green tea right, [but] your sun drying it so it doesn't

Deactivate the enzymes completely so they're kind of slow and then you'd leave it for years

And that's it. Those are your different types of tea. --Can we do a proper

You know tasting of a loose-leaf tea  because the the one I had this morning
