I'm from Sri Lanka, and I find it quite strange to hear that Black Tea is made from old leaves. This is highly inaccurate, as far as where I am from. The majority of Sri Lankans drink Black Tea everyday, and it is always made using the leaf bud, or the first three tender leaves. There may be differences in processing depending on different countries, but I believe it is highly incorrect to say that Black Tea in general is made from old leaves.

Honestly: A very dishonest marketing video. 1. Caffeine content isn't as easily comparable as you make it seem here. It depends on many factors such as cultivar, roasting, which leaves were picked, etc. You'll find lower caffeine green teas and higher caffeine black teas. The general comparison you're making is dishonest. Especially since you're comparing an average cup of black tea to a premium cup of green tea. At least you're accounting for brewing temperature. 2. Just generally saying that black tea is often made from older leaves is irrelevant and wrong, because that's not an inherent property of black tea. There are black teas made from younger leaves as well. And there are green teas made from older leaves too (e.g. Bancha). Also: Nutrient density of tea is low, it won't really contribute to covering your daily needs anyways. 3. You don't cite ANY study whatsoever when talking about health benefits. That's just lazy and dishonest. Either you find data supporting your case or you shouldn't make that case. 4. Cold brews work with both teas. Whether you like one or the other more is just a matter of taste or opinion. It's not a fact as you make it seem in this video. I've had bad cold brew green teas and phenomenal cold brew black teas. It also just depends on the kind of black tea you're cold brewing. Same goes for the flavour profile. The flavour profile is not a factual "benefit" of green tea. Some people like green tea better, some like black tea better. It's just a matter of opinion. In conclusion: This video is literally just a bad marketing video. You're trying to sell your teas, I get that, but please don't use dishonest videos like that for marketing purposes. Just stay with the facts, cite studies and don't present your opinion (on versatility and taste) as an absolute truth.

All of this is correct. I believe this is because nio sells Japanese teas which are 99 percent green and therefore choose to ignore the wealth of high quality blacks that can be found in china india Kenya and the like. Sorry to anecdote but for one, dianhong golden tips are black teas made from the young tips and buds of the leaf. Caffeine levels among the same crop don't actually vary much based on how the leaf is processed.

@@phill234 elaborate on what? You asking for studies to validate a spokesperson for a company's opinion? I could rewatch the video, I don't believe they were passing off anything as fact. The exceptions that you talk about are in no way the rule. The vast majority of black tea is cheap bullshit. That's not to say there can't be very good quality and very beneficial black tea that exists. As far as health benefits I don't know much about black tea, but does the black tea contain the same impressive level of antioxidants and l-theanine? I don't actually know, I only drink matcha.

Drink all the types of tea, that's why it's superior to coffee! Coffee has one real method which is "take seeds and roast" and tea has all these methods where flavor can vary greatly. You can taste the raw burst of vegetation coming to life in the spring, or you can taste a leaf from later in the season that was taken during trimming and roasted slightly. You can have a freshly made first flush black tea from the mountainous regions of India and Nepal or you can have a complex fuzzy tipped Chinese hongcha. We even have tea that gets better with age, unlike coffee which goes stale in a matter of weeks!

eh, coffee is similar in that it tastes wildly different depending on where it comes from. and combining the beans from different places can get you unique flavor profiles. it can also change depending on how you make it. coffee also mixes with other ingredients much better than tea does in general. honestly, no clue why they are always compared. they are two very different kinds of drink that are similar at first glance.
