You're Doing It All Wrong - How to Steep Tea

[Trisscarro]

fuck you i always boil the oxygen out of my water, liquid hydrogen tea is the best.

[juicebodify]

this is an out of the box asian. cheers!

[xHOLLlSTERx]

This guy's voice is really annoying.

[niquilita]

you're doing it wong.

[yankeeschampsx27]

I came here because the picture for the video link looked a like weed.

[yarnbirdy]

What about the zojirushi water boilers? They always bring the water to a boil before letting it cool off to the desired temperature. Should they be used to make tea the "right" way?

[yarnbirdy]

@arcticagfive perhaps it refers to the original acidity of the water due to the presence of CO2 as bicarbonate? In the chem labs, we boil water to remove the bicarbonate before using the water...

[sam04017]

flattens the taste of WATER DAMN!!!!!!!! mind blown

[EeveelutionStorm]

What about dorito's connsomme?

[ShaluAloo]

They would make an asian the tea person

[KaineSpawnX]

From what I've learned, while over-boiling the water is bad, the water should hit a full boil for black teas, although I'm not sure about the science behind that. Some teas (including most black teas) can steep 3–5 minutes. Everything else in this video is consistent with how I brew tea... especially the part about not over-steeping green tea. I once left sencha in my pot and forgot about it—maybe about 4 minutes—and it was undrinkable.

[dusttides]

"Make sure it's a whole leaf tea." What about my favorite, PG Tips?

[lebrontravelled]

woah woah woah, boiling the oxygen out of the water? wtf, i guess in a way its true (in a retarded way). but that oxygen is attached to hydrogen and its sorta still water not oxygen, not to say this method is wrong its just i dont think his proof is right

[lebrontravelled]

@lebrontravelled also if anything by boiling the water you are increasing the ratio between impurities and the water that it is disolved in, which is what probably changes the taste, not lack of oxygen thats just stupid haha

[sharpezor]

@lebrontravelled yeah for each oxygen that gets turned into steam there are 2 hydrogen attached. Heat from a boiler does not have the power to separate the atomic bond of H2O, all the ratios remain the same. these videos can be taken with a grain of salt.

[lebrontravelled]

@sharpezor I know im just sayin like if he's gonna make a scientific claim at least be somewhat accurate

[GoldenPerogi]

@lebrontravelled He doesn't mean boiling the oxygen atoms out of water molecules...because that's impossible with a stove element, and what you end up with will be hydrogen and oxygen gases not water. What he means is boiling the oxygen gas dissolved in the water, as gases lose their solubility in liquid as the temperature increases (that's why your pop goes flat when its warm).

[excuseUjustanopinion]

I think all tea taste the same to me!!! LOL

[ReactorCrystal]

I hate it, if someone I've never seen before and who don't know me, tells me that I'm doing it all wrong....

[CodeTheName]

dont question this guy. somehow i feel like everything he says is right and just sounds smart...

[Neropatti]

I didn't boil the water and it really does taste wonderful!

[TheGunManX]

Heres how people from South Yorkshire make tea, boil the kettle, put a tea bag in the cup, 2 heaped table spoons of sugar, fill the cup to 3/4 off the top, add milk to the brim, stir and take the bag out. Northern English tea, jobs a good'un ;)

[Paulpunkrocks]

This really made the perfect cup of tea, I've got a boiler that shows temp so it was perfect!

[Neropatti]

@Paulpunkrocks Your username and comment combination created an image in my head that really cheered up my day. Thanks!

[krocket715]

Jeez all you little kids shut the f*** up u know nothing about tea you are STOOPID compared to this guy

[retrotw]

drink "tea-n"...

[rocketdood116]

Water doesnt have a taste....

[dying2comment]

@rocketdood116 actually, it does. water has a mineral taste because there is mineral in it. if you truly want water with no taste, then you would have to get it from some company that filters it completely, and that water costs around 11 bucks

[ranger0504]

i laugh that the part where he say TEAbag.

[PflGlace]

Damn his huge double chin make meh laugh.

[Elivyndyr]

Informative guide!

[mudcatred]

hahahahah he said tea bag!!!! BAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAA

[ReversedCorps]

His mouth makes me want to punch his face in.

[silverfoxcondor46]

Good informative video. thanks...

I seriously doubt pushing the leaves to the bottom of a press will force the flavor out of the water.....just does not make sense.

[nigarnigarnigar]

@silverfoxcondor46 He means that you'll be forcing the flavor out of your LEAVES, which will make your tea bitter.

[silverfoxcondor46]

@nigarnigarnigar OK thanks, use the pot , just don't press down.

[SUPERCRAZYSAIF]

What if I use tea bags? 

[alirolls]

I love this video! I drink tea, not coffee, so actually, yeah, it does matter. One observation: 180 F is way too hot of a water temp for the delicate loose leaf green teas. If I used water that hot, I'd get an astringent aftertaste. It's happened before. Yech. Here's a better guide to water temps for loose leaf tea:

Chinese green teas 70º C to 95º C

Japanese green teas 60º C to 85º C

Semi-fermented teas 95º C

Black teas 95º C

White teas 70º C to 85º C

[epiphoney]

I want one of those infusers. I went to Teavana for some tea, and they sold me the most expensive one (9$/oz!). The taste didn't impress me, but I was up all night.  Wikipedia says not to churn the tea, because it will get bitter.

[bigwerm14]

those eyes make him look high.

[j147able]

hahaha he said teabag hahah lol

[vannatrinh]

Teaspoon. With your logic, I should put a table into my tablespoon. Yum! Table! Perhaps I won't boil all the oxygen out of my water.

[pyro51090]

this is awesome

[lastmondaypast1]

lol the proper way of brewing tea. useless.

[kawaiipapillon]

@lastmondaypast1 tea is an art in asia... don't insult it it is important to cultures u rasist bastard

[xxMLIAerxforeverxxx]

if you cant see out of those slits you call "eyes" and your big enough to be a sumo wrestler, your doing it all wrong.

[firedragonxblade]

@xxMLIAerxforeverxxx If you are going to insult someone and you can't even spell "you're" correctly in the context, you're doing it all wrong. 

[Unanimous97]

@xxMLIAerxforeverxxx If you can't use proper grammar, you're doing it all wrong.

[csIsKrass]

me drinkin for coffein.

[genocidal123]

Still gay.



[Saltasuraelaka]

This is one of the very few CHOW videos that made me go "Wow, that's actually good to know!"

[MrGlennJohnsen]

Yeah if you have the time to do it right do it, making this tea is as good as getting coffe from a barrista or coffee house.

Instant coffee is just as bad as your ordinary cheap teabags.

[RonRicho]

If you want a good cup of tea just follow David Wong's advice in this video. After many years a making a good cup of tea I did and I now make a great cup of tea. Thanks.

[snoopyflick]

Fail. CTC pretty much fails right there, let alone brew at 180 for black tea. Pushing the tea down with a french press, though not needed, isn't much pressure for tea, so it's not a big deal. And the generalizations about brewing, ARGHH.

[gamemeister27]

So...Douglas Adams gave me bad advice on making tea? NOOOOOO!

[brandonpringle16]

i never knew i was doing it wrong,,, thank you

[fallendrgn]

What the fuck is wrong with you immature dumbasses?

Hes helping you make tea and you guys are insulting him?

I can probably guess not even 1/10 of you retards drink tea

[jeffzahnd]

i ALWAYS SAID: if you are going to learn anything in this world, it better be from a gay asian. but seriously, I have been doing it wrong. Thanks! oh and I love gays and asians do't read it the wrong way.

[SmokeTreeAllDay]

your face is wrong

[bmtimv]

I am not sure why you would want to brew black tea at 180 degrees but ok.

[puresickmermaid]

@bmtimv Yeah, 180 is usually for some greens, or Indian white teas. Some blacks are lower than boiling, but black teas are usually boiling. So to each their own, for him to call it wrong...well it isn't!

[LogInAnders]

This woman is not gay! LAWL!!!

[jngwatson]

Great presentation.

[FpsOwns]

I like Tea Bags

[omgitsjulian]

I use a ball shaped tea bag, is this ok?

[plplplplomg]

Very nice video, rly don't understand these critics in some comments. It looks like they were doing it wrong! and now are angry on someone else for realizing them that.

[elianpz]

and im an asian fag

[genocidal123]

Teh guy below is pretty correct...

[arbonac]

How do you boil the oxygen out of water and still have water. Won't it all turn to steam by that point? Water is composted of two hydrogen and one oxygen molecules.

[cybertooth49]

You do not comprehend.

[Noelbedford]

read the side bar its a man

[derekbegins]

lol he'sa  women? nice eyes u got comic,

[wowdanalise]

any black tea left to brew for 45 minutes at an extremely low boil, very VERY bitter, but i like bitter flavors, its delicious. use lots of tea leaves, you want it STRONG AND BITTER.

[glacialgenesis]

Gingerbread spice tea is good when steeped for about 4-6 minutes. It's sweet. I add three teaspoons of sugar and it's amazing.

[comicfl]

I'd rather do it wrong then listen to this bitter, annoying woman. She seems like she's angry because people don't brew tea her way.

[turtlevillage]

man

[rometour09]

I am a new tea drinker and these tips were very helpful...THANK YOU! I thought this video was EXCELLENT!

[ZeforceTutorials]

dilf

[KarongPally]

god damn this guy's voice is annoying

[mahawas3n]

wtf are you talking about thats harsh

[ellichan]

Nice tips, I hate tea, but still nice. It's just so bland to me, and my friend is obsessed with trying to make me like it. It may be healthy but so is orange juice and it has more flavor :P.

[aveslp]

You just need to try some GOOD tea. Trust me, most of it's an acquired taste, but some is incredibly delicious even for beginners. Good rule of thumb: if it smells good to you, it probably tastes good to you. Maybe try scented/herbal tea blends like jasmine green tea.

[PianoMann18]

thanks for the tips!

[sourfin]

tea sucks anyway..why follow all these fucking instructions for something so bland...even juice(although childish) is better than tea

[fudge1monkey]

"why follow these fucking instructions" if your english haha

[Euphoriate]

Sweet... however I've heard that some Green Teas (Gunpowder, for instance) should be left in for 3 minutes at 180 (as instructed by Adagio Teas).

[metalsk8terjoe]

yo to all you fuckers who thinks he's gay, i have a message for you all.......shut the fuck up and leave this guy alone he came here to tell you the proper way of brewing tea and this is how you thank him? this is just an example of how you people are all inconsiderate doochebags

[Keishiron123456789]

but dont u like it when he says tea it sounds kinda cool lol

[metalsk8terjoe]

it does sound cool

[brandonpringle16]

@metalsk8terjoe well said

[elroy1985]

@metalsk8terjoe Feelin ya on that one. I feel he made a great video. Told me everything I should know about tea and why. Now I know I screwed up on the cup of tea I'm drinking.

[fasanyawn]

@metalsk8terjoe hahahah hes sooo gayyyy

[plplplplomg]

@metalsk8terjo, well, this doesn't change that he must be gay.

[stuffzorzful]

@metalsk8terjoe hes doing a damn good job at it to.

[solodam123456789]

@metalsk8terjoe correct, my friend

[jer4703]

He looks like a teabagger.Sorry that was so Wong,but it felt so wight.

[frayser19]

rolitranco de MARICOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[thorerik]

[fubreezee]

[MorganDeLad]

gay..

[sourfin]

am i the only one who wants to stab this guy?

[JChan9219]

Your not alone...

[SammichBoy]

I have a question, what kind of cup is that yellow cup?

[darkevilandcoolray]

a piss cup

[HardAngryMangoz]

is he gay?lol

[CitrusFreak12]

Does it matter?

[JereHakala]

..Taste of the water?

[Reinos]

I fouond it makes a lot of difference with milder teas like white teas, but it's a pain trying to get it to th eright temperature... but it IS worth it!
