[ASMR] Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony

Sound design & Foley while having Chinese Tea Ceremony using Audio Technica at4053b recorded into Zoom f8n Pro.

Traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony popularized in the Tang dynasty has a long history and culture that ties to its spiritual and nourishing elements.

Many credit Shen Nong as the first person to discover the effects of tea and spread the tea culture.

There are many forms of Chinese tea ceremony. Here, I am practicing what my grandma has taught me and referred to it as Lao Ren Cha 老人茶 (old person's tea). It is now more commonly referred to as Gong Fu Tea.

For me, there's always a certain calmness and enjoyment in brewing Lao Ren Cha. The process lets the tea brew to its fullness and allows the full potential of tea tasting 品茶.

Different type of tea have different brewing process. Here, I am brewing Alishan tea, which is a type of Oolong tea, from Taiwan.

I didn’t like that the shots were cut so quickly, when the cups were being emptied and filled it should include a small pause between cups. This did not trigger an asmr response for me, this video should have lasted longer imo. Take advantage of the time it takes to actually make the tea, it would make it more calming and you’d buy my trust to slip into it ❤

[alinamalina]

everything on that video is just perfect❤
me too doing it everyday 🙏
i love that tea

[pharikhurra]

i love the video a lot, very nice for both relaxation and education purpose! please keep doing what you are doing <3

[calvinng]

curious to ask as to reasoning to why people wash the first brew?

1. to wash the tea leaves
(but some say that it is cause it was dirty)
and was deem abit wasteful for the first taste. as some of the first brew is really nice too.

if you could share some opinions, as im keen on learning the thoughts of everyone

This implies taking time to enjoy something, making a ritual out of something that looks simple. We in western countries are used to live fast, have it all ready in no time, not enjoying things.

Lovely to watch and listen!

I just got a tea pot set from China and I was happy to come across this video to see the process of using it
Nicely done :)

[sethgaston]

Great video! I have a question though, where does all the spilled water go?

[tinbeo]

Thank you for the experience. Is it ok if I use some of the sound in this video for my video work?

[johnkittinger]

Thanks for sharing.
May I ask what tea tray is that? It's lovely.
Thanks.

[Nhan_nguyen]

Can I ask what is the leaf shape filter made of and where can I get it?

[zava]

What kind of tea is this? Why it’s colour less?

[roadtoquality]

Did you pour boiling water directly to the tea pot ? 😅

[ViridianAubergine]

Wait... but I thought the first steep was given to the tea pet? They're thirsty :(

[lmrkwku]

"茶道(sadou)" is a Japanese word, right? We are both countries that use Chinese characters, but it's not good. Isn't it "茶芸" in China?

China is okay be pride ! Do not do the same thing as Korea! I love Chinese culture!

[shawnd]

3 gallons of water for a cup of tea lol

[ChatGPT.AI.]

So, it's about wasting water...

Какая глупость, налить в посуду воду, чтобы чайник стоял в воде. А потом полнять жиот чайник, с которого будет капать вода. Мы без глупости завариваем хороший чай. У меня нет времени на глупые вещи
