There are some green tea related videos on youtube. For example I did a search on Sencha, and found some interesting stuff. I imagine similar searches would turn other things up.

I found a lot of videos on youtube now for higher end tea related stuff.

-Pu-erh brick separation techniques.
-How to use gaiwan properly
-how to use yixing pots properly
-artistry of yixing and the sculpting process.
-ceremony techniques and proper serving in public

Its helped me get up to speed rather quickly over the course of the last week (that and a lot of googling and reading and asking questions here)

Gotta love youtube though... its easy to discern the good from the bad in the 1st minute. Most of those tea related videos I have seen seem to be all legit and have good information. It also helps to strengthen and further clarify many of the things I have read online and these forums.

I missed the pu-erh brick separation technique. Before joining the forum I mauled the end off one. Well, i guess I can start on the other end now. :)

Thanks for that Taiping. For my fellow fans of Artistic Nippon, if you noticed, that video was provided by Toru san.

Wow, that is a wonderful video. I didn't know at all about this dynamic in Japan.

Ahhh the next generation of tea drinkers. Are they drinking something green, or smoking something green? Or perhaps both.

Where can I get some of this GYOCROW tea they talk about ... grown in the shade just like Gyokuro. :lol:

Their enthusiasm is the best part. Really enjoyed watching them out in the Canadian woods there.

These two young Canadian gents are regulars to the Green Tea Forum. Their youth and enthusiasm for tea is an exciting combo.
