This is #4 in a series of six videos describing the basics of the six classes of tea. Mary Lou Heiss shows the various manufactures of the most frequently found styles of oolong tea, and describes what to expect from each.

Wulong tea
Oh, and I noticed something very interesting. In your story, you are talking in past, and then you changed to present by mistake (I was in a negociation, and I DRINK a sip) Well, it was correct. In stories you can use the present tenses to highlight the key moments, to make your story more dramatic. Eg “I was sitting at the table, and then they BRING this strong tea. I DRINK just a sip and suddenly I FEEL dizzy…” Of course, you do it in the most important moments.
Great story! It was so funny!
Is this 烏龍茶?
Do you have any idea why it was called like that? I have been looking for information about it but I haven’t found anything interesting…
By the way, can we suggest topics for you to talk about? I think It would be really interesting if you talked about 三足烏… it would be awesome to listen to you talking about your culture.
By the way, I would appreciate any information about the books of calligraphy and insects you sell. Thank you very much!
sure we would love to hear more your stories or anything you film it’s always unique and entertaining I learn many things of your videos of everything so its very wonderful to view I don’t believe we waste our time on your videos its enjoyment that follows

I found it online. But I have never been there.

Have you heard if Dr Tea. It is a tea shop I went to in Beijing and got to try it for free. I also bought some tea.
Yes. It is strong flavored. A few leaves, light color, but very strong, very bitter, very unpleasant for people who is not used to.
where can i get this tea and at a cheap price and at a large quantity?
please and thank you
More stories please!
This tea sounds interesting. Is this a strong flavored tea, and please more tea stories, I learn things I didn’t expect to learn in them.
Thank you for the stories and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and your country. TFS
