    I love green tea but a lot of claims are very exaggerated, and a sign of something having improvements is not 'proof'. You can read more here.

    One of the ways my husband told me he loved me was trough tea. He knew I loved it, he didn't know much but he bought me a high quality teapot, everytime he was out and found an interesting tea he thought I might like he bought it for me, brew me a cup when I was sick, upset or sad and he kept a growing collection of cute mugs. What a lovely love language ❤️

  • @joela4007

    the acting in this is absolutely immaculate, I can feel the slow but ever creeping gloom and resentment rising from your character as they not only teach us all about tea, but goes into their own life, taking pauses to reflect, having slight cracks and less enthusiastic tones in their voice to convey this. its like they're aware they're talking to a camera and trying to put on a good face for us all but slowly loses the will to do so. this is storytelling at its finest, and my god do I respect it, keep at it my good man.
    Edit: Watching the end really made me feel whole within this story, it was such a sweet ending of the reuniting of love as he picks himself back up and rekindles his love not only for tea but his girlfriend. absolutely amazing.

    there's something so captivatingly beautiful of the way you do your storytelling, under the guise of something else, but not in a deceptive way, it makes metaphors and allusions so much more impactful and funner to think about.
    along with the way of speaking and writing being surprisingly genuine and human feeling, so many writers and speakers fall into the trap of writing like... some academic and way too uptight book, but I feel like the best way to convey any sort of emotion is with this style of speaking and writing that manages to be both deadpan and completely full of emotion and understandable feelings, it's great.

    My mom and younger sister are both obsessed with tea; they'll drink it almost every night, and spend loads of money on new, different varieties to try. I'm personally not a fan of tea, like at all. I kinda like the smell of some types, but to my pallet, it just tastes like water with a bit of leaves in it, which is essentiallyall that tea is. Despite this, I'll still occasionally have a glass with them, as I can at least understand why they like it so much, and am still able to appreciate it to some degree with them.

    I've never liked tea. I've always found it bland and boring. However there was one time an older lady from my former church had invited me in for tea and to chat. We had a wonderful time catching up, and the tea she made was actually very good. That was the last time I saw her. Soon afterwards she became ill and passed away.

    I agree with what other people have said about how touching and subtle this is but I also want to say that I love the character designs. The clothes and profiles are just really cool. Also, the narrator's sunken eyes and wide smile gives you a bit of apprehension, but it's not clear if they're just tired or hiding something else. It was excellent foreshadowing because it was so understated and something that you could have seen practically anywhere. It reminds me a little bit of what I look like when I don't sleep well because of my insomnia, even.

    Genuinely one of the most cinematically beautiful videos I've ever seen. It's not at all subtle yet it's completely unexpected the way you used tea as a framing device--or I, at least, did not expect it. I loved it. Thank you for creating a product which I love. It made me get up and make myself a cup of tea and throw some leaves into a bottle to invest in cold brew for the morning; my cup is seeping as I finished the video and typed this. You made me realise some of my favourite teas are not high quality but that's okay, I trust you. I hope you find something you love, Mattias.

    You shouldn’t use those small tea strainers, they don’t allow the leaves room to expand properly so you won’t get as much flavor and aroma. It’s better to use a large strainer (like think the kind used in those infuser mugs) or brew in a pot and use a small strainer to filter out the leaves when you pour.

      Obligatory "same here" echo on a surprising number of the specific things you listed
      Some things have a very short shelf life when it comes to attention, but a select few may linger a long time. Might even be cyclical. Something holds your interest a while, then fades, but eventually revives itself. And in some cases, later on returning to an old interest can be almost like seeing it new again.
      In any case, don't feel bad for tiring of things you once loved or for wanting something new. They made you happy for a time, that's the important part. Onward to the next passion!

    No work of fiction, other than your videos, have ever drawn out emotional responses to a degree that matters. You just have a beautiful way of conveying not just an idea, but how a person comes to get that idea and how they experience growth. It’s a little weird and wacky at times but in the end the talent you have for communication and connection with others shines through each and every (except fieldtrip I’m still confused) video :)

    So this video has two themes, "relationships" clearly, with this creature and his ex. and it keeps going back to this "its not good tea" thing, this sort of weird way people have high standards for things when it doesnt really matter. Which makes me wonder are the teas allegorical for relationships? The "you deserve better" line makes me think so, along the lines of "if youre drinking tea hoping this will solve all your problems tea is not going to help" but what is it saying specifically?

    I am so glad that you, your's channel, your's art and your's videos are exist because it's such a light (light like from sun, not like light as a feather) and humane experience. It's takes to the deep of human soul, shows it's, reflects and gives some answers, some points. It's such a meaningful and cryingly cathartic experience.
    It's such beautiful art where you can't add anything and you can't cut off something. It's just as much as it needed. It's really is a mastery, like some paintings, or music, or books and etc.
    Only one word comes to mind, and this word rather is too banal and became in our time too pompous. But for me this word is accumulating mastery/hard work, talent and understanding of what you do to extent when what you produce can give really meaningful experience not only for mind but for feelings. Word is "Genius". I find you a genius. Your art (videos as a whole) give me a feeling like art of Renaissance masters that gives off bright and gentle light and kind humane compassion feeling.
    Your art to the core such a humanistic act, I see something like that really rare and I say it again - I am glad that you and your work is existing. You give such strength and hope for my heart and mind.
