Inside America's Only Tea Plantation - Staples, Episode 7

1. One of the top teas in the world is from Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka); the famous Ceylon Tea. Ceylon Tea has a rich aroma and taste.
2. This is pretty close to the lowest possible quality of tea you can get
3. No wonder bigelow tea is so yummy!
4. zagat. you guys have to find a better editor
5. this guy forgot about white tea and pu erh. dissapointing
6. his voice is so funny at 0.5 speed
7. Should definitely be a Molly tube..
8. I live in Hawai'i and i have 2 tea plants in my back yard we use tea as medicine. The first tea is mamake and the second is kokolau these tea are very light and sweet not bitter like a traditional black tea. We pick the leaves green and dry it in a box. we don't grind the leaves we boil the leaves whole. These two teas help with diabetes and cure all kind of things
9. You could say it was, high qualitea
10. I'd be interested in a whole leaf offering from these guys!
11. He's in error to say that that plant is the only plant suitable for tea. America actually has a native shrub that carries the highest volume of caffeine of any known plant next to coffee beans. It's called the Yaupon Holly (illex vomitorius), and it's been cultivated by Natives for as long as their culture has existed. They used the leaves to brew a thick stodge that they would imbibe during a purification ritual, and it would make them vomit, thus purging evil spirits and impurities. Obviously no one is going to drink that, but it makes a good, strong tea. As strong as coffee. I know for a fact that there are a number of family plantations that have sprung up in Florida, Texas and Louisiana. If you live in the south you probably have them growing on your land. No need to import invasives.
12. Charleston, SC, is such a great place not surprised they grow tea there. Even Bill Murray lives there.
13. America the continent, or America the word people mistakenly use to refer to the USA? Because the map at 1:11 leads me to believe you're just dumb.
14. Ehh.. there are different classification of tea.. 7 if you consider flower tea as well.. Green, White, Yellow, Black, Oolong and Dark Tea.
    
    Also, although they all come from camellia sinensis, there are different varieties within the same species. Some of them are short bushes, ie. it doesn't grow higher than 4-5m even after a few hundred years. Some trees like the Pu Er Trees are tall varieities and can shoot up to a 20-30m or even higher. So it's not really the same just because it's the same species.
15. Garbage tea, bagged bullshit
16. you explained it very easily...thank you
17. Name of the song at the end of the video?
18. so I was fooled to think that Lusanne was harvested in Louisianan.
19. too bad they aren't making top quality tea.
20. Please be advised that there is a new tea plantation in Mississippi, owner's first name is Truitt, so there are now at least 2, and this one is an organic totally green operation, preparing to seel to the public beginning in the next 12 months.
