    You know there are many dialects in China, and tea is pronounced as cha in Mandarin. But in Sichuan and Yunnan dialects, tea is pronounced as chai. Tea is pronounced "TEA" in the dialect of the southeastern coast of China.

      😂😂😂😂😂😂 Who told you that???????? All Indian Born religions(Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism) are told that "Ahimsa is Paramdham" for every living beings.... And yes, Veganism recently increased in India but not Vegetarianism. Because idiot Vegetarianism is more than 3000 or more years old in India....... Meat eating habits are increasing in India during the Mughal era & British, European colonial era. Do you know about that??????????????? Kaha se aate hoo tum log bhai???

      @jishnu9551 Před 2 měsíci

      ​@@AboutOurTimeNope that's not the case . Other than Mughal influences, there's not much of an outside influence of the scale of the culture born in India. It is not limited to Hindu Religion. Hindu Rashtra includes all dharmic faiths and other faiths born in india and cultural elements from here as well.

    Thank you so much for this video! I am soooooo obsessed with tea! I drink tea like 3 times a day ahaha! And since my family is so blended and multicultural, I'm super excited to share this with everyone I know! It's not only binding Indians together, but also binding countries across the world together (despite nationalities and race) and binding cultures and families 🍀💚

    So if Assam tea is native to Assam, and is significantly different from Chinese tea, and has been separated from China by the Himalayas for millions of years, then why isn’t it considered a separate species? Anyway, enjoying the unique hearty tea of Assam!

I'm planning a dissertation on tea in indian context, can you please tell me some readings where I can find all this information regarding distribution of tea in railways, how opium was grown in India to trade for tea with China, and everything about history of tea in India? It would help me a great deal!!

    Hello !! Namaste 🙏 Its a wonderful journey of Tea history. Flow of information is very sequential historically. Important details have been woven well with small and minute details. One can note down some good to know facts. A well organised video with perfect time frame. Not too long and not too short. Congratulations !! and keep posting such crisp videos.

    In video showing that tea was using as medicine when Buddhism came to china ….since Buddhism originated in India and traveled to china then Japan…. And there was trade between India and china… It might possible tea was using as medicinal in India as a different form or name other than today’s milk tea… you can see green tea (ochya )with different names in china and Japan even today .

  • @reym3475

    • @robertallen5422

      Indian Tea in reality is some nasty disgusting shit in need of lots of spices and other additives to make it 'almost' palatable.

    What were the genetic differences between the China bush and the Assam bush? I only know - as you portrayed - Camellia sinensis - so there must be varieties form cross fertilising etc.

    • @AboutOurTime
      @AboutOurTime Před 2 lety

      I think the Assam bush is a variation of the China bush. It is called Camellia Sinensis Assamica.
