This is a bit of a different one this week, following on from last years coffee video, this is everything you need to know about proper tea, from the different types to what temperatures and brewing times. I found it truly fascinating learn so much, hence the slightly longer video. I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to check out Don's channel with the detailed links below.

10:03 Fun fact: older plants don't have deeper roots than younger ones. Saplings develop a taproot that grows downward to help anchor it and provide stability. More mature trees mainly develope horizontal root growth that allows to capture water and nutrients from a larger soil volume.

At first i was like, man, 18 minutes.....i don't know if i'll sit through the whole video.. but i did! You can tell the man has huge passion for the tea and was so informative! I'm a tea-drinker, but never gave it much thought, really, except for the fact that teas should be "steepped" at different temperatures.. :D Thank you Ian and Don! ^_^

THIS is the type of video I've been searching for! Everything else is saying like where to get the herbs and leaves from whatever supplier, how to blend, etc., but they never talked about this sort of creation and detail stuff that I've actually been looking for. Great video, very informative!👏👏

Nice video! As a loose leaf tea aficionado and daily drinker, thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! Don is quite knowledgeable… Only pity is that he didn’t mention dark tea when he’s talking about post fermentation tea. After all, it’s only 18m! Already a very good crash course for loose leaf tea (Gongfu or Kungfu tea)! Kudos

What an incredible video! I thoroughly enjoyed this one Ian. I am a tea junky having grown up in Asia and being half Japanese...but I had no idea about many of the things he talked about in this video. I learned so much and it was so interesting. Side note, and I'm sorry if you addressed this already but I seem to hear an echo in some of your videos. I think it might only be when you have a guest on the show so could it be dual mics or something? Anyway, thank you as always Ian...this was a wonderful and informative video.
