Every Tea Explained
should have used hojicha images for it
Tea is the second most consumed beverage on Earth — but most people only know two or three types. This video breaks down every major tea category, from the ancient pu-erh cakes of Yunnan worth more per gram than gold, to the Japanese tea that nearly went extinct due to a single supply chain collapse, to the colonial trade wars that turned a simple leaf into a global commodity.Green, black, white, oolong, dark, and everything in between — we cover how each is processed, what makes them distinct, and why the differences actually matter.

I lived in HK half my life, and its wild to me to hear the most common tea I drink at every single family outing, restaurant, or complimentary tea served to me as part of a service, (Yellow Tea) is a Unicorn, let alone partaken only within China.

Some white teas age really well too. Or a white-black synergy can age perfectly in good conditions as well.

Such a pity rooibos refuses to grow anywhere else than in small area. That makes it quite vulnerable to enviromental changes.

You completely missed the cultural importance of Hibiscus tea across Africa and the US South.
It is the source of 'red drink'
SciShow's Stefan Chin, is that you?
@Fire_Horse_NYCgng we are gonna invest in tea
@ShubhangnaththakurI wish I had somebody to send this to who would appreciate it as much as me 😭 😭
@briess1972why are you so fixated on how much the tea costs? Isn't this a video about tea?
@mcchicken_outDidn't know I've been making jun for about 6 years mainly thinking it's a different type of mead. I came to find ideas of different types of tea ingredients for future mead experiments.
@Undertaker1134TxI love tea, but man do I dislike Kombucha.
@aztecgoldmontizumaYellow tea is really good but you have to be careful not to use water that's too hot, otherwise it will taste *vile*. But if you use cooler water, around 70°, it tastes like a refreshing green tea but with a little more body.
@Timeskipper-g2nA cup of Rooibos stirred with a stick of cinnamon warmed over a lighter and teaspoon of Cape honey...PERFECTION 🇿🇦😋❤️
@DC_FedensOo I cccc
@ProfessorDetectiveYtGood Job! Could you please give a link for 8:55? I wonder, because the photo doesn`t quite match the name. Her full name is Bachinskaya Alexandra Alexandrovna.

@code360tyI avoid communist teas.
@dennis9401As much as I love tea, no tea, no matter how good or rare, should cost 1 million dollars.
@mariamikhaylova7695Everything always seems to go wrong when the Europeans are involved. Not even trying to hate, but they really just want everything to be theirs, with little hard work put into taking care of it.
@callmejiejie33what happened to jasmine and barley tea??
@meokids5082AMAZING VIDEO'S
@tastediscover647"I told you if we let Yerba Mate in, next thing you know you're rubbing elbows with that Hibiscus clown. So much of keeping it classy"
@gelonzo71🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️😍😍❤️❤️🌹🌹
@JunioSantos-l6cWhy are Chinese so crooked?!
@joshualifetree5398tight tight tight yeah. blue yellow pink whatever man just keep bringing me that
@Apoc_Bone_DaddyI fear you have further fueled my tea addiction 😅😅
@samermohamed7644Hibiscus tea I have a lot of those on my backyard😮
@strangerritsNeither Prussian blue nor gypsum (calcium sulfate) are toxic. In fact, Prussian blue is used as an antidote for cetain heavy metal intoxications, injected IV. None of this excuses the fact they were used to dupe customers, of course, but given the recent history of some unscrupulous Chinese folks using actual poisons to adulterate and fake food products, this fake green tea is positively benign...almost cute😂
@scibear9944Nothing quite like a cup of fresh hot jasmin tea with a spoonful of raw honey
@prestonnormile9996Longjing does NOT have a grassy taste.
@dogewow89994:13 not correct, you can also age white tea, they are also pressed into cakes. Even aged Oloong tea exists, but I would say white tea and pu erh usually get more expensive with age. I have a white tea with Jinhua - Golden Flower from the 90s and it taste wonderful unique. Overall there are a lot of generializations here, oxidization is not the only aspect of difference between the tea types, for example in Oloong teas there are some strongly oxidized teas (usually rock teas) and some who are barely oxidized (some green tie guan yin).
@ChillerNoKiller1Darjeeling 🤤☕🫖
@scottpeterson7500To me Hojicha tastes like stale old floor sweepings or the leftover fannings from the tea production. There’s just no disguising it.
I prefer by far Genmaicha. A wonderful green tea that’s simply incomparable. Blended with tiny toasted grains of rice that taste like nutty popcorn.
Gunpowder green and Russian Caravan for me.
@mattrobinson21I didn't watch the entire video but skimmed it I didn't hear Turkey at all. Turkey is the global leader in tea consumption per capita. We mostly drink black tea cultivate most of it ourself.
@alpborakirte801I bought Yerba Mate for the second time in 5 years, it's not really popular in North America, I can't wait to try it again, I also bought Macha for the first time, let's see :)
@IseenoobpeoplesIt's not Poo Air, no one wants that
@echeolasI drank 2 beer mugs and a cup of tea today and each was mixed with 2 spoonfuls of turmeric powder ;)
I also drank a glass of iced hibiscus tea once, at school. It tastes like medicine, specifically a cough syrup without medicine :)
i need to pee
@notorious3602Green are my favourite!
@foodlymapgreen tea
@dailytake-0k8drinking tea with honey is my favourite
@idenkeinChinese tea
