@Anjal PaudelSounds like you'd be better off with aged cheeses; those have only very small amounts of lactose. The aging process breaks it down.

@Berin Pekcan Turkish tea definitely takes the win. The first time i tried it was, funny enough, not in Turkey but in Prague 5 years ago. 2 years ago i actually went to Turkey, and the very first drink i've got was a free cup of tea coming with my Adana Kebab just 5 minutes past the Bulgarian-Turkish border. Then in Istanbul they tried to convince me that the strongest version of Turkish tea is too strong for me, but then i tried it and it was the best cup of tea i ever had. In conclusion - komşu, you have the best tea

This whole thing was weirdly horrifying in a way I cannot explain as an avid tea drinker. It was like watching a train wreck in action and I loved every second and will absolutely NOT be making my tea like this XD (also you can boil water in the microwave the only recommendation is do it in a mason jar because the glass doesn't retain the taste of anything really and also know your water type will make a difference in taste)

Marksmithwas12 หลายเดือนก่อน

@AJ Mac oh, I misunderstood you but get what you're saying now

AJ Mac หลายเดือนก่อน

@Marksmithwas12 It’s not heated past the boiling point. It’s just not boiling yet. It’s a bit like when you supercool water. The water isn’t colder than ice. It’s just colder than it should be to remain liquid. If you have a bottle of water in the freezer that’s supercooled it will stay liquid until disturbed. Then it will crystallize from the point it was disturbed. Superheated water should be boiling but isn’t.

Is THvid bugging out? I can see @ajmacphoto 's response in the preview, but when I open up these comments, there's only 3 replies? 🤔 I just want to say what they said (about boiling water in the microwave) explains why that teabag bubbled. I didn't even know you could heat water past the boiling point

@Octopie Dinoraptor no, it was neither. We don't have soap to clean with at work (we also clean up after ourselves), and the teabag did not do this in kettle boiled water

Santa Australia 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

@Jerkwell, perhaps that the English speaking world shouldn't use British tea as the default for the word for "tea" when the majority of the world has their own tea practice, with a longer history, and consumes more tea than they do. Turkey is the highest consumption of tea drinker in the world, and China outproduces anything the UK stole from India. If we stop defaulting to that, then maybe the non native English world won't be confused.

mentaya11 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

I mean, why not start a petition? They've done follow up sequels before, they might here too. So many people seem sore, even furious or insulting (not you, but some others) I think they went with British tea because 1: it is A common, well recognized method. 2: they have a native Brit working in their office and this gives them a chance to bring in an "expert" easily. 3: Stephanie is a huge tea fan. She must have preferences, and given this video and others, her likes likely lean towards British tea. If so, this allows her to compare teas she loves. I have no idea how much she drinks tea from other cultures. There is even a possible 4 in that their main demographic is American. There might be a bias towards one type of tea. I have no idea if there is a bias towards British style tea. If there is, it could be a factor. Still, no joke, if people want to see a sequel with tea from other cultures, just tell them. I'm sure they'd be willing.

There's so much they missed. The highly minty tea of the middle East. The super diverse tea of the East. The more fruity or almost mixed varieties of the South East. It's such a narrow view of tea.

ngaire G 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

Missed checking the correct temperature at which to steep the tea. It's important - as the different chemicals that make up the flavour and aroma of tea (there are 7-800 of them) are released differently, depending on temperature (and steeping time - which they did look at). The higher the temperature (and the longer the steeping time) the more likely you are to get the bitter tasting tannins. Rather than using boiling water, you should use water at 90-95oC.

You can now get a kettle that lets you select the temperature at 10 degree intervals from 70-100. It's great for cold medicine that you need to dissolve in warm water and yes, got tea at 90 degrees. Tastes better. Although I only like red bush tea. English breakfast tastes sour???

Alice Animated 713 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

MATT! You sir have forgotten to do the final and most crucial step.... The sugar, honey, milk type and or sweetener! As a British person I feel that you might need to add this step Edit: Thanks For all the likes you are all awesome 🌸🦋✨🌟👑💐( this is the most I’ve ever gotten)

WynneL 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

@Alice Animated 713 I think the issue is that all of those factors may well vary by the type of tea you are using and where it was grown, and it's also a very personal choice whether to sweeten it or not. Much like milk, which was already controversial. I'm with MatPat on that one. Coffee is bitter and needs milk/sweetener. Tea has a much more gentle flavor overall and just doesn't need to be mellowed IMO. So in other words, there are some things where you can only determine the best amount *for you.*

Alice Animated 713 หลายเดือนก่อน

@Team BATON in your opinion probably but it depends on the person drinking the tea

There are so many assorted brands of tea in the UK, such as Taylor's, Tetley's, PG Tips, and Yorkshire Tea, to name a few. All of them are different and require different brewing times. As a result, it's best to experiment and find the best time for your chosen tea that suits your tastes.

Mineral With a Medical Degree หลายเดือนก่อน

I was surprised that loose leaf tea wasn’t the best here - I always thought teabags usually had smaller particles, and lower quality than full, rich leaves? Idk but also on another note, I only love tea when scalding hot, and I hate when it’s put in a large (usually metallic) travel mug or foam travel cup. For me it’s gotta be in a normal mug.

FYI, in Ol’ Blighty, tea is sometimes called a ‘cuppa’ or a ‘brew’. Tea is also used as another term for supper. Furthermore, tea is used to refer to a kind of 4th meal at around 3pm, usually involving a sweet baked good and a cup of tea. All of this is depending on the part or the country.

AJ Mac หลายเดือนก่อน

@Karan Aher The British introduced large scale tea cultivation to the Assam region in the 1830’s. The Brits were having trouble in China because their plan to use opium to trade for tea was failing. Chinese leadership was fed up with the drug peddling British. The British had tried to smuggle and cultivate tea plants from China without success. They had even convinced Chinese tea makers to leave China to help. Eventually they “discovered” a variety of Camellia senensis that grew in Assam natively (which was already being grown and consumed by Singpho people) that could be cultivated on a large scale. With the help of tea makers (and a great deal of forced labor) they established the tea plantations of Assam.

@C British tea comes from Kenya mostly. There’s probably some Assam and Ceylon and maybe a tiny bit of Chinese tea in the blend but the bulk is most likely from Kenya.

I think this is the most relevant to me episode of Food Theory I have seen. I actually prefer to drink tea in the spring and fall because local honey is supposed to help with allergies and I’m surprised at what I’ve been doing right and wrong. I normally steep my tea until it’s at a drinkable temperature so I get more flavor but I didn’t realize I was making it more bitter. At least I got adding the milk second right

Danielle 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

It depends on your preferences. Some store bought teas, especially cheaper supermarket green tea, is a bit weak, so dabbing the tea up and down after steeping for 2-3 minutes can pull the flavor out of the bag going from a watery tea to a proper tasting one.

I make tea in my coffee maker. The flat bags are actually perfect for this because you can spread the tea evenly before laying it down. You only need one or two tea bags depending on how big they are, how strong you like it, and how much you're making. (My preference is to make 12 cups using either one large teabag or two small teabags. Different brands of tea use different sizes of tea bags and fill them with different amounts of tea.)

Ray P หลายเดือนก่อน

Hey Matt, if you ever come back to teas, can you look into if the flavor of teas change based on if the tea cup and pot are hot vs cold? I read a book many years ago saying to swirl hot clean water in the pot or tea cup before pouring the water over the tea. I personally can taste a slight difference, and it makes sense to me, but I would love to hear the science behind it and if it's right or wrong. These techniques were from Japan according to the book I read that had been translated into English from a old tea master or something.

Huliguan 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

i didn't realize that there could be so much of a different between tea. personally, my perfect cup is oolong tea steeped (with a lid or just using a small plate to cover the cup) until the color looks right. if i want it sweetened, i'll also add a chunk or two of rock sugar that's roughly the size of the first section of your thumb. my usual steep time is about 2-3 minutes (or longer, since i actually prefer a stronger cup) depending on the type of oolong tea, since the colors can differ, but also with loose leaf tea sometimes you want to steep it for less time. plus the flavor profile with oolong tends to shift the more you steep it since you can reuse the loose leaf for more brews. i'd love to see a follow up video where you guys test out other teas from asia since the tea culture is so varied with all the different types.

TheAllroth 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

Overall a nice video! :) But I was surprised you didn't test the tea leaf "geometry". In tea bags the leaves are in smaller pieces compared to loose leaf tea which often (?) has larger leaves, or leaf pieces, which, in theory, would affect the flavour; you even comment on the brew time difference. So in this test the "tea container" variable is not fully separated from the leaf variable. Ideally you would also test brewing the flat and pyramid bag leaves in a bauble for the same brew time. (Ideally you would also try loose leaves in the other tea containers, but that could get cumbersome.) I think I've heard at some point (although I forgot where and with a quick search I haven't found a source) that smaller leaf pieces can tend to generate a bitter taste in the tea due to more chlorophyll being able to "leak" from the larger "cut" area.

I have the tiny metal loose leaf tea guy, and I often open different tea bags (some from caffeinated tea, and some herbal tea) and mix it together before adding it to the tea cage. It is very fun.

Fun info for Chinese traditional tea: For good luck, when making the tea pot and cups, the leftover clay was used to make a tea pet, which you pour some tea on as a sign of good luck. There's color changing ones too to test the temperature of your tea, but it is a long term tradition. Plus, some ceramics will soak the scent of the tea (as mentioned by Matpat during the cup phase), so using the same tea regularly will cause your tea pet to smell delightful

@Mike Artem the Chinese way of making tea tastes sooooo much better than the British who steep it in water way too hot, brew it way too long, and then add cream because what they brewed was terrible.

If I may, my family has found that a) tea tastes MUCH better if you warm the milk too (eg 30 seconds in the microwave, b) put milk at the bottom, and c) brew the tea separately in a pot before adding it to the milk. If you put the milk in then the water and teabag it will taste sour, as I believe happened in the episode, but if the tea is brewed to completion in a separate vessel and THEN added it will taste magnificent. P.s as an avid tea connoisseur, I would also have recommended comparing large tea brands for maximising flavour :)

Great video, but two things: 1. You should have tested the steeping temperature, I feel most people make it too hot and scald their tea and for certain teas it might even be better to steep at room temp. 2. The pyramid bags may have micro plastics.

I think for the teapot, it cools when getting poured. A smaller exit area means you would lose some of the heat. Like, your breath is warmer when you exhale with an open mouth, but when you exhale with your mouth nearly closed except for a pinhole opening, the breath is cooler.

Nikita Karamov 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

6:47 I don't know whether it was a good idea to brew them for the same amount of time. Loose tea has a very different leaf shape and powdery-ness than the bag and pyramid one. I could imagine that there should also be different brewing times, similarly to how espresso is different from filter coffee.

Loved this! Only note is: what about brew temperature and water quality? As you go up in elevation, the boiling point of water goes down; currently living in Colorado about a mile above sea level where water boils at 205, and grew up in Wyoming at 7200+ ft above sea level where it boils at 201. As far as water quality goes, I try to use spring water to get around varying qualities of municipal taps (even filters can be hit or miss tbh).

Malcolm Rowe หลายเดือนก่อน

The material of the cup makes a big difference, I use about 5ml of milk to my tea, for the teapot, pre warm it before adding the bags and water

Lolthehihi 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

The British tradition is actually fitting for the old days. You did talk about how pouring in the milk first regulates the temperature to no break the mug. Back in the days,we didn't have this much mugs.

So I know this isn’t food, movie/tv, game related, but I’d love for you to do the perfect way to do laundry especially if you have a variety of clothing fabrics. My husband and I have been having laundry issues and I realize it’s because most of his laundry is made from cotton and it’s obviously needed to be treated with a special process. I wasn’t taught how to do laundry so I would love to see your process and the science and what it has to say about the way to do laundry.

@Max Verner i mean they acknowledged in the beginning that there is more culture to tea but the idea was to see how the british tea is optimized because of the tiktok video. They might branch out at some point and try asian teas as well but they said in the beginning they will be focusing on Britain.

We do something completely different in my country. We boil tea leaves, ginger, a cinnamon stick, lime juice, anise star, 2-3 green apple slices, and honey in a sauce pan. We never add milk. It is absolutely the most fragrant and flavorful tea I’ve ever had. This is why I require multiple tea bags when making a cup of boxed tea lol.

Jack Kuni หลายเดือนก่อน

As an American who recently discovered adding milk to tea, all of this about matches what I found to be best. Sadly the flat paper teabags are about all you can find and we don't have a teapot so the closest to proper tea is by cutting the paper bags open into a loose leaf holder

The best cup of tea I ever had was from a tea house at the end of a Chinese tea ceremony. While the Japanese tea ceremony is mostly about the beauty of the ceremony, the entire purpose of the Chinese tea ceremony is to maximize the enjoyment of the tea. If you get the opportunity to experience a Chinese tea ceremony I highly recommend.

Interesting…adding milk to the tea last is the equivalent of adding coconut cream last to curry. That makes sense! As for the teapot vs. mug theory, I wish that my mother, who grew up in China during Mao’s revolution, went over with me more of the science of food. It would’ve saved me a lot of experimentation time in my adult years and made me less resistant towards Chemistry. My mother told me not to touch cooking often because at the time, she wanted me to focus on my studies. But alas, despite me being smart, sweet, and hard working, both academia and corporate America didn’t like me wanting to prove that artists deserve to have decent salaries, work-life balances, and go see doctors whenever. As such, I felt that the kitchen was more of my safe haven as an adult. Plus, I wanted to prove a former abuse partner wrong that I’m allowed to be my own person and cook healthy foods. Long story on that one. Great episode by the way! Nice that you had a British person on board. :)

This video came back to mind while I was drinking my water. I live in a dorm and have to refill bottles of water I had before, while changing them out with new ones every so often. I noticed that the water I filled this wine bottle-shaped bottle our campus sells tastes far cleaner to me than the others, despite being the SAME water. Does the shape of the cup/bottle change how you taste water based on prior experiences with what you've drank from the same cup?

Funny thing is I don’t know any british person that puts milk in first, myself included. We always put milk in second so i think milk was ever only put in first to protect the ceramics, but have changed the order since then for better tasting tea. This was a great video and I definitely learned a lot, great job 👏

Bit of a history lesson here: Milk last is the continental way of drinking tea, whereas the British traditionally used milk first. As I understand, the reason is that the porcelain produced in Europe was of lesser quality than that of genuine Chinese porcelain, which were more readily available in continental Europe than on the British Isles, as the East India Company did very little trading in porcelain, compared to their Dutch counterparts in the VOC, who were famous for the trade in porcelain. This made pouring milk first more necessary for the British than the rest of Europe. But as said in the video, the global prevalence of high-quality ceramics has made this a non-issue.

EliteGeeks 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

well, my Grandma/Grandpa never did milk first, they are tea swillers from England... what they would do it, get a hot kettle of water, Pour in about 1/2 cup of boiling water, let it sit a few seconds... then pour it out... this would heat the cup, then add the tea bag ( PG Tips ) then slowly pour the water over the bags... Then add 1 teaspoon of sugar and a splash of milk... this is how I do it, this is how Grandma did it... this is the way we all should do it...

No, you're exactly right! It is a waste to wash your tea/coffee mug every time. I just rinse them out and only wash them maybe once per week.

i'm burmese, in my country we make tea by boiling water and putting tea leaves in. No bag and no milk, honey, sugar or anything like that just the leaves and we don't take it out, so you can imagine how bitter it is. We just kinda deal with the tealeaves floating around in our cups lmao so in the wise words of Zuko...tea really is just hot leaf juice💀
