💡Tip: Remember to always start with lower temp water and shorter infusion times with a newer tea, and gradually increase the temp and time, until you reach your desired taste profile, and don't forgot to remove the gaiwan lid in-between infusions too, to prevent dryness.

Thanks for the lovely video!

In the hot weather that we currently have here, I've found that Longjing works great as a cold brew. As an experiment, I've made two infusions: For the first one, I left the tea leaves to steep overnight in the fridge. The next day, after I'd drunk the cold brew, I added room-temperature water on the leaves and carried the bottle with me while hiking, which made the water about 25 to 30 °C. In about an hour or two, that produced a fine second infusion, less delicate than the first one but still refreshing.

This is a great video regarding the green.
My brother WANTS to like green, but he says it’s too bitter.
I told him, first, your green tea bags are nonsense.
Then I told him, that many people make 2 mistakes with green:
Too hot water, and too long steeping.
I brewed him some green, gungfu style, and he loved it!

Korean greens are my favorite, of course, like all tea, not every Korean greens are created equal. There are several ways I steep my Korean greens, i was taught one way was to put some room-temp water on the leaves then after 20 sec or so, add 200F water and let steep until the desired strength. I tend to use this way with later picked tea because it tends to "sweeten" the taste a bit.

Hi Jeffrey, you're a nice guys with nice videos which are both inviting and instructive. While there isn't one way to make tea the popular consensus for green tea is to agitate the leaves on the first several brews so you can break down the membrane walls to allow the natural sugar and enzymes to interact to experience their natural sweetness. Bitterness is a natural process that can be controlled through water/tea leaf ratio, water temperature and steeping time. Green tea typically has a slight bitterness which will lead to a sweet finish. Just sharing...

With Chinese greens I tend to use the glass method, or what some call grandpa style. Once I get down to the last 1/3 I top off the glass. When camping this method is also really convenient. In the colder months I also drink ball rolled oolongs this way.

Just stumbled onto your channel because of your brother. I like your videos, nice editing. My father is growing tea in germany and making his own tea, his youtube channel is Tschanara Teagarden in Germany, if you want to give it a watch.
