Don should create his own documentary that digs deep into the roots of tea.

I am so happy to see people promoting the generosity of Chinese people! Maliandao is such a special place. I miss it so much!

A pleasure to follow you Don in Beijing. Love this. PS : I choose restaurants like you choose tea shops :)

11:25 That spinning tea was so mesmerizing. And what a neat way to steep tea by letting it sink into the water naturally!

My wife is a teahead and she's done so much getting our house packed and ready to move with 2 toddlers running around she deserves the good stuff

That guy was so nice just giving him the tea . made me smile .

The amount of shops is mind blowing

I’ve experienced the generosity of Chinese fellow tea heads twice! In my university dorm I met someone from Yunnan and upon finding out our mutual interest in tea he gave me a Bing dao cake, shu stuffed mandarins, and many samples of other teas. Another friend gave me about a half kilo of green tea from fujian!

I faced a serious injury not long ago. One of my colleagues from work came visiting me at home. He even bought me a gift. I want to say thank you and give him something back. He's Chinese and he always drinks tea at work so I know he will appreciate it! ;)

Don, I love your channel. Just watching you speak about tea puts a big smile on my face. A few years ago I have ditched the tea bags and started brewing with loose leafs, which changed my life. I'm now trying to get tea educated and have been trying to learn as much as I can about good quality tea. Mei Leaf is certainly the best tea channel on youtube. I'm on a Mei Leaf marathon and in a few days I will have finished watching all your videos. Please, continue to be that tea enthusiast and keep sharing your knowledge with us.

I'm now planning a trip to London so that I can visit your shop. My husband loves coffee, but I have been talking so much about tea this days thanks to your channel that he is now becoming more and more interested in tea.

I would love to watch a video where you tell a little about how you first started you tea journey and where you learned so much about tea.

A good friend of mine is a foreign student who loves good tea. I know he can't invest as much as he would like in buying high-grade tea right now so I know he will truly enjoy and appreciate such a gift, especially coming from a true connoisseur.

That's absolutely amazing! I can't imagine a place that big filled just with tea and teaware. I don't think I'd ever leave!
I didn't know about boiling white tea after you've infused it... I'll have to try it sometime!

I am from Germany and after I finished high school about 10 years ago, I moved to the US for a few years where I lived with another family. The father of that family introduced me to green tea and that is where I started appreciating green tea and tea in general. And since that father, who became a father figure to me shared his green tea with me for years, I would love to be able to return something show him that I appreciate everything that he has done for me. A delicious special white tea (I don't know if he ever had white tea) should certainly help bring the message across :-) We are both tea heads so, I'll probably share both packets with him.... Tea is so much better in company :-)

My best friend Khalea is the one person who will excitedly listen to me insanely and pretty much non-stop ranting how excited about every single new tea thing I find, she loves drinking gongfu tea with me, (when I brew it) but she recently moved a town over, and I just bought her some gongfu wares that are on the way currently (It's a surprise for her). Most of her tea collection is stuff that I've given her that I didn't want which means that most of what she has is low quality. Of course, she's tried my better quality teas, and she loves them but she doesn't ever make proper tea for herself. I know that one day I'll finally get through and she'll be drinking proper tea, she even says how she wants to be as into tea as I am, but I think she needs a final push, and she really likes white tea, so I'd like to hope this could be what it takes, (Also, oh my god do I ever want to go to China now..)

Absolutely loved this video Don! Thanks for the experience. I'd love to visit someday.

As to the kind offering I'd live to share this with a cousin who enjoys my coffee wares and will be visiting soon. I plan on turning him onto fine tea in the holiday and this would be fun to share with him.

We enjoyed our visit to your shop to celebrate my 40th. I took full advantage and my hubby treated me to some teas and a brew 😊

I would give it to my Dad. He's been to China many times, and every time comes back with Jasmine green tea like from the shop that you first stopped in. I'd like to show him what kind of better teas are available in the markets if he took some time to look for it.

I grew up drinking black Turkish tea and then married a HKG guy. We moved to the US and I fell in love with Chinese teas. That's all I drink now. I would love to give this tea to my parents who are still in Turkey. They have never tasted white tea before and just asked me to spend a few hours on my next visit telling them about tea trees and how they are cultivated. They are 8800km away from us but I can't wait to visit them with my gaiwan this time introducing them tea that is not dark in color and surprise them. Btw I started forwarding them your tea trip videos :)

I introduced a friend to tea nearly 3 years ago. After a few tasting sessions and an "aha" moment, he was completely hooked. We've shared tea ever since and continue to teach one another. I've had one aged white tea brick in the past and never got to share it with him, this sounds like it'd be a great start 😊

This makes me want to go to china and go on a teaventure.
