I had no idea how fascinating your youtube channel was until today xD binge watching time!

I wish that there were more tea shops in the USA, the were remotely as cool as these markets. In my state, shops keep closing, so really online is the only place to get high quality tea.

Tea is so interesting because it's one of those small things that I enjoy even though I don't like tea. I just like the peacefulness that comes with it, if that makes sense? It's just calming to see tea made.

Thanks Glen and Lamu, another very informative video. It is amazing the size of that place. I was pulling 1080p video

I've been to Yunnan before and unfortunately didn't visit this amazing place for tea. Thanks for the tour. I'll definitely have to go next time I'm in the area, whenever that is!

I love the videos you put out and the information shared. You've helped me learn a great deal, in a relatively short amount of time. Just placed my first order with you guys. Thanks for being a great channel and source of tea knowledge.

Thanks for the video. Would love to spend a week or so exploring!

Thank you for sharing your experience there at Yunnan.

Thanks for the tour. Crazy big.

I would love to go there!

Eeeey! I was just rewatching this, just to see what the tea market looked like in 2017 (I was there early November 2019). So when you stopped by HLH's shop I was thinking to myself "wait a second... isn't that the parking lot right in front of HLH?", and it was! Haha! I have to say that HLH is such a cool guy I really loved spending time at his shop. I think for me, he is not too pushy, I felt that a lot of places were quite pushy in terms of getting you to try stuff (obviously they want to be friendly and sell stuff). Maybe that was just the case of me not speaking Chinese though. I remember a shop where I was asking for Kun Lu Shan material, they got some samples for me, but they wouldn't really tell me the price before I would agree to try it. And so I felt uncomfortable when they told me it was 35k Yuan/kg, like I would never ask to try that because I know I could never afford to buy that from the get-go. It was an awesome experience though, and I really need to go back to Yunnan at some point in the future! Next time I will bring a Chinese guide though haha!

Awesome video, I want to travel there!!! I’m obsessed with Chinese tea!

These videos are great! This was really exciting cause I'm currently studying in Kunming and have made multiple trips to this market, but I did not realize the tea market was on both sides of the road. It seems I will have a lot more exploring to do across the street! Thanks for the videos!

7:31 min Amazing. Sounds like in Turkey. Same problem.

Hi, thanks for your video, very informative. We are heading to Kunming this month, planning to spend, at least, 6 months, and will be living near that market. Appreciate your work!

Great video as always, very informative, do 1080p next time, 'm sure it will be more candy to the eyes~

Fascinating! I would love to see a place like that, but only 2 dirty bathrooms? Hellz no! Hellz yes to the Irish Pub!

living in China adds up. sounds like america.

Few years late to this video - but this was super cool. The sheer amount of shops is overwhelming! I think it could be cool to while away an afternoon, but I'd probably spend way too much money. How hard is it to find the real good tea there? I know that sometimes there are a lot of "fakes" in the puerh world - cakes pretending to be something else. Is that sort of thing not tolerated at a market such as this, or is quite common there?

Another great video thanks. So, are all of those shops retail focused or is it more about wholesaling teas? I found it really interesting what you were saying about the shops not having to really differentiate themselves. Quite a bit different from the NA business model where differentiation can be key..

You have no idea how infinitely jealous I am of anyone living near that market. My God, I'd have no idea where to even start. What are the prices generally like? A lot of variation I would imagine. Good to see the Irish feature in Yunnan heh, anyone there from Ireland?

hi my name's Glenn, french guy running a tiny tea shop in the south, i'm going to Yunnan soon and would love a bit of advices before tryin to buy some tea there. As it's gonna be my first time in China !

Do these shops typically only sell whole cakes or can you buy a little piece of one big bing?

Did you ever make a tea ware market video

What is the name of this market?

You've reduced the number of "Ah"s in this video compared to older one's I've watched. That's cool since it was a bit annoying when you didn't speak as fluently as you do now. Overall, I like your videos. They give some real insight in the tea business which I enjoy :)

While your videos can be very instructive, I do wish there were fewer close-ups of your face, interesting though it may be. You tell us what you're seeing but rarely show us. Pity.

How more interesting your videos would be if you show more of where you are with your camera and much less of your face. Just talk Behind the camera, simple as that!
