  • Excellent, informative and insightful video.. thanks very much for creating it.

  • at 7:02 let me translate. Oh and of course I forgot there is nothing more enjoyable than showing off all my tea-making utensils to make you jealous of what I have

  • This was a very well put, edited and narrated video. Very helpful and informative. I also want to know how to make such blends. I'm trying to make nice lavender tea with real flowers. I'll look around YouTube.

  • thanks for posting this.  I am fairly new to making tea and it helped me a lot

  • so, can I just go into my spice cabinet, take out my jar of dried parsley or sage or oregano or what have you, and make tea out of that? I've really wanted to make a parsley tea in particular. So can I just use the regular dried herb I use for cooking?

  • @PumpkinMozie You certainly can do the same thing with any kitchen herb. However, you should research anything you plan to drink regularly. Some herbs can affect the body strongly or differently if consumed in concentrated or large amounts as compared to a pinch while cooking now and then.

  • wow, i love this video you were so helpful! thank you so much, but i'm wondering if i can use the needles from a pine tree or a blue spruce or a wintergreen tree because i've heard they have large amounts of Vitamin C and i have one in my back yard, im sick at the moment and i love teas!! also, i'm wonderinng if i could use a coffee filter for the time being because i cannot find a strainer.

    and just for the record i will be ordering from you when in need of herbs or tools!! thanks a lot :)

  • @skaterofdtown Many people love to make Pine needle tea. You can brew it like any other tea by making a light steep, or you can make a decoction for a stronger brew. Just be sure to research the plant species before consuming wild tea! Many thanks. Erin

  • Will the PH of the water have any effect on the potentie of the herbs?

    I ask because i make my chanca piedra thee now with alkalized water and the thee becomes much darker in colour.

  • Omg this is stupid, boiled water is 100 degrees, (celcius) and to make a good cup of tea with herbal tea, the water is supposed to be around 70 degrees, or else you won

    t get the right flavours... Sigh

  • @niggy730 Wouldn't it depend on the particular herbs and spices being used? Each plant would have a different best brewing temperature, just as different styles of actual proper tea does. It would also depend on whether you were more concerned with the medicinal or taste properties. Every herbalist seems to be of differing opinions.

  • @celticchrys

    I know what you mean. Personally, I use a hotplate and a visionware pot (like tinted pyrex) to keep the temperature constant. I re-use these little hemp drawstring bags to put my tea in because tea funnels and tea balls leave a metallic after-taste. I mostly use slippery elm and chamomile as an evening tea.

  • I love a tea sort called Gunpowder? anyone else who heard of it?

  • @niggy730 i have some gunpowerder green tea at home. very strong stuff.

  • love this video

  • Awesome video. I would recommend anyone who is new to tea, use a timer. So if it is bitter, you can brew a little less. "Make tea not War"

  • awesome!!! thank You!!!

  • Thanks for this video.. very helpful! :)

  • Based on herbal effects, do you think lemon balm and gingko would go well together as a tea?

  • Has anyone ever tried making tea marijuana?

  • dude its gross don't try it

    THC is fat soluble not water soluble so it wont even do anything for you....you're better off making brownies with canna-butter

  • @Sensadire

    no, but cocain leaf tea is an actual tea (seriously. it's popular in south america)

  • Hrm, thanks. If I ever happen upon some cocaine i'll try it.

  • "cocain leaf tea" seriously now?

    im pretty sure you mean coca leaf tea.

  • thats nasty

  • I'm sorry, i'm hearing impaired so i could not hear what you were talking about, so i need to ask you... is there actually much difference taste when you make the tea difference?

    I've just recently used loose tea's cause i felt it taste better, but i find it very troublesome to clean up, and especially when i put milk in i always feel my tea gets too cold fast! so, i've tried to heat the milk up... tastes a little difference, but it's much more warmer. but more troublesome too hehe.

  • I have ordered many times from MRH and loved the service.

  • Thanks Mountain Rose Herbs! Awesome video. Just got our Ancient Forest Tea in today and at this very moment am enjoying it immensely. Can't wait to try out our other purchase's. The quality and freshness is unsurpassed. It really was quite a pleaseant suprise to find you on the web and our first order of sage just blew us away. I really can't say enough good things about your products so I will leave it at that and say you have a customer for life...Thanks again....:)

  • I heart MRH. Awesome quality, friendly customer service, and great resource! I've been ordering their products for about 3-4 years now and have always had a great experience. When I called awhile ago to ask about their products, a REAL person answered the phone and was very helpful. :D
