Uncle Iroh liked that.

[@user-gv5ii2ez6r]

I started drinking tea because of him haha

[@ishaanpandey2432]

I’m gonna drink tea tomorrow

[@jungi001]

He is the reason why I got interested in tea and started questioning my consumption of plain super market tea lmao

@@jungi001 ikr I just got the uncle iroh blend from dollar tea club

I would advise, have fun, enjoy your journey, tea should be a pleasure. There will be teas you find are not to your liking, there will be over brews, and under brews, but that is part of the fun.

[@teaangle]

Indeed. It's all part of an ongoing journey and while it's nice to take things seriously, we also need to remember that in the end, it's just tea :)

New subscriber! And I love how this video came out on my birthday! Please make more informational and educational tea videos please :)

[@daneliasalazar5817]

Thank you for sharing yes it was very knowledgeable

[@teaangle]

Thank you for watching our video

[@Cratees]

Huhuhu don't know whether to start with puerh (and whether ripe or raw) or white, or black XD. Great video btw I like the format and layout

[@teaangle]

Thanks! With so many choices, the best thing to do is just pick one and start :) We'll try and bring more videos like this.

[@amychilde7060]

Thanks a lot for the steps! Could you please tell if there are any good Chinese tea brands available in Australia?I know that quality might not be as good as the ones from the Chinese vendors, But as a starter it would be more helpful to learn more if there is a specific brand associated...Thanks in advance!

[@teaangle]

Hi Amy, glad you found the video useful :) We actually run a Chinese tea brand based in Australia called Tea Angle. We have a tea studio in Sydney and you can book appointments for tea sessions via email. Check it out at www.teaangle.com

good price point suggestion!

[@teaangle]

Thanks Tania. What would be your main tip for tea beginners?

[@CuppaChaTEAChannel]

@@teaangle I agree with all your suggestions! I would add that it is ok to not like some teas. Don't keep drinking a type of tea because you are told it is good for you or it is the best. Drink it because you like it. Good tea is to be encountered not pursued!

[@teaangle]

@@CuppaChaTEAChannel Great point. Everyone has different tastes and preferences. Although I'd also say don't dismiss a tea outright if on your first experience with it, it didn't blow your socks off. Still give it a chance but perhaps after a few goes at it, if you still don't like it, then it's probably not the tea for you.

What tea should be use for relaxing or same effect of cannabis?

[@teaangle]

We've yet to come across a tea that'll get you on the same high as cannabis (not that we know what that feels like either), but, drink enough of certain types of Raw pu'erh and you may feel "tea drunk" at the end

[@victorzuniga8894]

I just need to know how to prepare tea in chinese way!! I mean what is the process??? I have not been able to find a video 😢😢

Are teas sold online safe?

[@teaangle]

Indeed they are. While we can't vouch for every vendor that sells tea online, there are definitely reputable online tea sellers out there (like us for example :p)

XIANG PIAN is da best

[@teaangle]

A great tea indeed :)

[@nithilapradeep3756]

This tea is helpful weightloss pls tell me

[@Quiro_Y]

if you wanna lose weight just eat less calories a day, if you eat 3 thousand calories a day you will never loose weight no matter how many liters of tea you drink

[@paullloyd4813]

@@Quiro_Y Lose an 'o'. It is now a capital crime to spell 'lose' with two o's.😊 'Loose' (rhymes with 'noose' and 'goose') is a different word and it means the opposite of 'tight' e.g. a loose fitting garment.
