7 dislikes from people in Salt Lake City

[Hokieson1]

what is like... good tea equipment? xD (rookie question)

[mashmusic11235]

@Hokieson1 All you really need is a kettle (either electric or stovetop), cups, a spoon, tea, a clock, and an optional tea pot (best if you're making tea for several people). I always use a pot that has a basket for the tea, or an infuser if I'm making an individual cup (go to any tea shop and ask - they'll know what you need), because it makes for easy cleanup. You can make a perfectly fine cup of tea with just these things.

[auschwitz41]

this might be the weirdest thing i have ever seen. and i watch a lot of vietnam documentaries. how does this guy know more about tea than wikipedia?

[aarossell]

@auschwitz41 perhaps the documentaries have spoiled your sense of what normal is.

[OCBsebastian]

@auschwitz41 because this man is a connoisseur dummy

[inuyashaspet]

this guy reminds me of Lewis Black

[devinsidell]

The real buzz-killington...

[hmp22]

I really like this guy.

[pdytko]

This guy speaks pure truth. Tea is the best drink you can ever drink. I have yet to discover my favorite flavor as I'm only 17, but I already fell in love with tea and Im on a quest for the perfect cup of team.

[ctdraper2]

Tea is the greatest drink....

[rw7aniat]

speaks like ozzy kinda

[AulicExclusiva]

I've known this gentleman's 3 tea books for 30 years and have had enormous enjoyment thanks to him. What a pleasure to hear him speak.

[LittoBUbbo]

lol I went and made green tea while watching this. He was so convincing..

[Ninja3737]

Cracks Me Up Wha tHe Says At 6:37!

[15000000th]

"Of course I use teabags! When we travel, it is the first line of self-defense!"

LOL

[vlcgo]

Man knows his tea business.

[turquoiseshopaholic]

This Man Is Hilarious And Wise

[ceromantique]

this man is so fake. who does he think he is kidding with his phoney accent? does he think he is mr .rockerfeller? mr. somelier? or is he from boston? perhaps even from harvard? what an asshole. i hope he dies or changes his accent to his real backwoods-country folk- assed- road kill eating- trailer park boy- change- begging- overalls- wearing -bare-foot shit eater. "putting on airs"! what a piece of shit charlatan.

[0megamanX]

[martenRMIT]

[twl8090]

The girl sounds too peppy to talk to this man. He's so elegant sounding, and how she says "Delicious" at 5:58 really gets to me

[pilaman82]

thank you for this video kind sir, cheers

[Xennia2493]

TEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[jingwu42]

is this for real lol

[Ericules555]

wine pales in comparison to tea they are not alike to be honest technically yes but actually no

[kickinbackinOC]

Nice video. I prefer a certain Yamamoto Japanese green tea, Sen Cha. No, I dont have time for leaves, just bags. But I do use filtered water. I never knew how much of a difference it made, until I was traveling in Europe, bringing my favorite brand with me, and when I made a cup over there, the mineral content was so high, I couldnt even taste the tea.

[Evologix]

How about we stop the mud slinging and have a cup of tea, huh?

[BASTEH99]

wtf is this guys nose blocked ?

[boardiee]

HE drank tea with a shitzu ?

[OGdank13]

i actually enjoyed this guys douchiness

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

@OGdank13; you would since you're a total douche bag.

[OGdank13]

@MoveOnDotOrgg too bad you dont have anything on your profile for people to know how big of a piece of shit you are who visits your faggot ass website

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

@OGdank13: obviously I hit a nerve, you are a true douche bag, laugh my ass off!

[XxgregfullxX]

@OGdank13 Yea you tell him George! remember the time we kicked this faggot's ass?

[1ms0l33t]

OFC I USE TEABAGS LOL!

[cloudwalkerteas]

"We as a people...will become a lot healthier and a lot less quarrelsome, if we start to drink a lot more tea."

- right on James.

[echo1v]

Excellent video. I know nothing about tea but this makes me want to know more.

[puresickmermaid]

@echo1v It's a fun venture. Side note, I think I just fell in love with this man's knowledge on tea, I love his swagger. They don't make them like they used to...

[echo1v]

@puresickmermaid Oh yeah, this is a favorite video of mine. This gentleman is obviously very knowlegabe on the subject of tea and does indeed carry himself with sophistication and style.

[JeffBilkins]

the man knows about tea. i like his way of talking and extensive knowledge. also bonus points for gentlemen grumpiness.

[illuminatioracle]

this guy talks like adam west

[MommyKiller1]

pass your cup i wanna see how many swimmer yea got

[adult93]

I love this guys voice. Even the way he says "Pass your cup" at 2:38

[MoveOnDotOrgg]

All the tea in China - how much $ ?

[Jrbangs]

Hahahaha...Calipkr you also missed an apostropheeeeeee

Deconverts...mmm yeaah...nice negative seven there...im sure more after i make my tea that takes 7 years to make.

[CaliPKR]

Deconverts, are you really that much of an out-of-touch troll? This is the texting era, and youre correcting punctuation? lol ok

So your oblivious comment basically says not one person drinks coffee with milk and sugar. Oh I am sorry but i drink tea Black and have a electronic tea pot. Guess what you hermit, I press one button and BAM...TEA....OH MAH GAWD ....SO HARD.

and one more thing mr. never wrong....kiida funny how you have 7 THUMBS DOWN on your comment... lol

[deconverts]

Calm down, Tiger(s)! Why so serious?

[LilDorrit]

Loved it! More please!

[mathatton]

I don't necessarily agree with his last comment... two examples that immediately come to mind are an amazing black tea with fresh rose petals I once had, and a white tea with dried peach. While a quality tea by itself is often best, pairing it with another ingredient isn't always a bad idea.

[AulicExclusiva]

@mathatton I don't think he meant to disqualify traditional, natural flower-scented teas. He praises them in his books and loves jasmine tea. I think he was talking about artificially-flavoured, chemically treated commercial offerings.

[iluvmycousin2much]

@AulicExclusiva yeah thats all nice and he is a good talker.. but can you ever trust a nonasian in matters about tea????

[deconverts]

I think it's incredibly rude to ask for tea if you come to my house. It takes so long to make and uses far too many ingredients.

Try coffee instead. Most people have a machine to make coffee at the touch of a button!

[johnoneal]

boil water, add tea. you're right, way too much work.

[deconverts]

When someone wants tea, it's usually:

1. Water

2. Tea

3. Milk

4. Sugar

That's four ingredients!

Now, when someone wants coffee it's usually:

1. Button press :)

And it's not a function of work either, for Espresso has a strong taste and can be combined with other ingredients if you are so inclined :P

[HaloMHM2]

i drink coffee black and tea plain

plus coffee you need water and coffee and most people use cream and sugar anyways

[Jrbangs]

Deconverts....youre an ass. have a great day

[deconverts]

LOL Jrbangs, you're welcome :)

I enclose some apostrophe's for you: ''''''''''''

[gogreen18]

LOL learn about tea like you learn about love-making.....this guy rocks.

[RyanSC12]

this guy is jumping around from tea to wine

[IkeaLamp]

i want to know his views on chai..and other forms of tea.

[mcmishmo]

i want this man to adopt me.

[fjdiazb]

This guy kicks ass

[ben314z]

Though Salt Lake's water may not be to this gentleman's tastes for his tea, don't be misled into thinking Salt Lake City's water is by any means subpar. In fact, the lowly municipal water in SLC has been voted the best tasting tap water in the country (TODAY, msnbc, 7 Jul 2007). In my experience it is best to pair one's tea with one's water, just as is done with wine and entrees. Keep in mind, when the Japanese tea ceremony first evolved, Brita filters were few and far between.

[WinkyMcGee]

Keep in mind, when the Japanese tea ceremony first evolved chlorinated and fluoridated water didn't exist.

Also, and this is just me being nitpicky, "first evolved" doesn't make any sense. Evolution is a process, not an event.

[ben314z]

I do agree with you about the chlorination/fluoridation issue. They began adding that crap to our water here in Salt Lake at the beginning of this year. :( Luckily, there are still a few local sources of unflouridated/unchlorinated water here. I was commenting more on the quality of Salt Lake's water au natural.

[ben314z]

I would also agree on your nitpick though I think "evolved" is perfectly appropriate. No tea ceremony that I am familiar with in any major culture was invented overnight. These ceremonies evolve over centuries as collections of slowly changing traditions. Just drop my "first" and treat it as " the Japanese tea ceremony evolved over time" heh. In my experience water with the correct balance of minerals can actually compliment some types of tea. Boy can I tell its late and my brain is fuzzy.

[deconverts]

Have you considered using Mineral water, or some other water product that hasn't been chlorinated?

Chlorine gives a very strong (and unpleasant in my opinion), flavour.

[BlackLily888]

I love Darjeeling...

[zelda1ftw1imo]

i think they forgot to ask him about iced tea

[nephildevil]

awesome!
