Hopefully that will give you some blessings and attributes for your future life in terms of health. So when we talk about tea, we must get to know Shenlong. Shenlong spent his whole life researching and testing plants, performing herbal medicine for people. So in 5,000 years, probably you have 10,000 photos of that tea. And the only thing different, the only thing the same, is you can see the photo. Either you hold a plant or mouth to bite the plant. So that means his whole life researching herbal medicine. So from he found it until the next 2,500 years, tea was a detoxifier and an antibiotic used in China. And the first record of Shenlong and tea was in 1123 B.C. It says Shenlong drank tea to detoxify himself while he poisoned by testing people's plants. So that is the real history of tea. In terms of the tea culture, and everybody is probably famous, there is a person named Auguste Lung. I pronounce Asian because I'm Chinese. And he is the tea driver and the reference and franchise in the research, education and the marketing of tea. And he has such impact in the tea industry for over 1,300 years. And another major tea driver, very much important in the culture revolution, is the name of Woodington. Year 53 B.C. is the Qihan Dynasty. Woodington cultivated and replanted the chameleon seeds. So they drive the tea growing region by the coming Qing Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, which is technology in the farming and the manufacturing process are booming. So tea culture has been expanded dramatically. And a lot of other many cultures, tea culture at that time, not just expanded to China, but also expanded to Japan. So for almost 2,000 years, tea has been still kept the same in Japan. And it's very famous, everybody knows about tea. But that was the thing also, including the costumes and wear usually. It's all from the Qing Dynasty. With the Silk Road, tea also went to international markets all throughout the world. But it had a big impact in the early 16th century. In 1608, the first tea trade boat arrived in Poland. So that is a really stark tea culture into the western continent. And the whole Dutch actually keep it the same as a healthy drink for people. And at that time in the western continent, everybody was able to give it a great name for its oriental honey or oriental tea. So basically, for people who have problems with health, particularly with digestion of the stomach or nausea, that's why the western still has a great impact today. So with the marketing of the Dutch where it started, tea eventually went to many countries like Portugal, Spain, France, and Russia. And only English took some of it, because coffee was fashion in British at the time. So tea is of a similar nature. That's why British became a product of England. And because tea was a very sensitive item, and that's why the British wanted to control the global tea industry and take the seed opportunity. So they were having a war battle between England and the Dutch in the late 17th century and in China still. So of course, the British won, and that was a good pay for international. And the other thing, in the nature of England also, because tea is an up-class drink for health elements, the Duchess of Bedford, she actually has a great problem, and then because of her position, and also because of her fashion, so this concept of tea and the Dutch only became a recognition in England. And by the coming 18th century, the industrial revolution, so the easy-to-drink, every factory, every office. So tea has become globalized. So I have to say that England is down to the second-greatest tea producer in the world, because they have really much tea. Today, tea has the 690 category, and with more than 22,500 people who buy tea, and with 25,000 cups per second globally consumed per day. So it has become a second beverage. And scientists are finding almost 400 nutritional benefits of tea, and in particular, it is anti-oxidant, and keeps you young and excited. And also anti-cancer as well. This is a non-Western scientist finding, too. And also, the hydro-nutrients are there. So that was actually great for the public, for people drinking drunk tea all over. This element is fantastic. Most famous, the tea-over-health product, is all due to this element. Unfortunately, with technology change, the lifestyle becomes quicker and faster. People want the easy stuff, whilst others really prefer the fast stuff. So tea consumption in the past decade has been tremendously reduced, including people. And of course, last year should have been 2020, and then everyone stayed home and drank a lot of tea. But actually, tea, coffee, and also alcohol, also drink a lot. So gradually, still, tea consumption has dropped, because the purpose of drinking away coffee has some sort of status. People think they just relax, just sit with their things, while I drink tea, or rather, pour the coffee and make one sit down. Coffee is easy. That's it, and move away. But people don't realise, to spend a lot of time on a lamp, it can't lead society at the speed of light, because there's no light. So with the solution, it works to study stress, and people do spend a lot of time looking for answers. But a lot of them just don't get really delivered. But they are actually from the bottom up. Tea is there, everybody is surrounded by tea. The regular tea trees have been completely cut down. And the other hand with technology, it's also pushing by-products in the direction of development. So that into food, into beauty and cosmetics, even health supplements, medicine, it's already started happening. So in the short future, I reckon in the next few five years, tea is not just a tea leaf, it's become a product. So hopefully, with all of that contribution, the third peak of innovation is going to start, and hopefully we can get into it. And that is the history and the culture being changed. And now, in green tea. The traditional tea, now that we're working on it, in today's way, we're going to be able to do it. So of course, the traditional tea is green tea. The reason to do green tea is the last annual festival. The tea leaf has almost 25% of the nutrition for the whole body. But the green tea, because we need to keep it fresh, so they need to have a process to stop the enzymes active. So it keeps it fresh and it keeps the nutrition. So they need a process called filtering. The tradition of filtering is they use the stem. They put it in the tray and steam it up and then roll it and dry it. And so, in Japan, probably 99% of Japanese people all drink green tea. And as I mentioned to you before, orangutans contribute to the cultivation. So tea started traveling from the Yangtze River up to the west and north, higher, west and higher, which is the Sichuan province and also the Yunnan province. So they use the climate and they use the sunshine to do that same thing. And they travel down to the east, which is the Anhui, Sichuan province, and they use the dried rice. Dried rice. The reason to dry rice is hundreds of years ago, up to 180 million years ago, they don't use the dried rice to make tea. So the reason to do that is they need the tea to press in, the tea to come and leave in a certain shape. So I use the Longjing tea in a lot of black plants, long stick, so the leaves keep black. And the other is also famous for beautiful pearl tea. So they need to roll it up, so the same process can be done to make the tea shape. And further down to the south, the Fujian province that's located and the reason is because the Fujian province is very humid and the tea leaves quickly degrade. So green tea has four different processes, but the majority, as I mentioned, keep up with the climate. So as I mentioned, the fresh leaves keep up with the climate. So ideally, after making them, they kept up with the climate. And of course, that's why drinking, or even wanting to drink green tea, scrumptiously, is green tea. So it's fresh leaves, it's healthy, it's good for you, it's good for your health. So the second one is we put white tea and also further down is a yellow tea. We use this as a black tea. The only difference between that 10% to 20% and yellow tea is that yellow tea when it's produced as white tea. But the beauty with this process is it actually brings the reduced caffeine but of course also a little bit, but the main thing is the amino acid and vitamin C, particularly vitamin C out of the tea. So for example, for people we always say when we've got a cold we drink that and I do really scrumptious tea, but you can't buy a white tea. It's terrible. It's bad for your health but it's still much better. And also the white tea is also great for eyesight in particular with fatigue. And so, I mean not just cure but if you keep producing it that 18% so the middle further down through is what we call reason we call it a savvy so when you're producing from the green leaves there's usually a combustible bed on the spot on top of the middle of the leaf or the edge. So when blending together you can see the colour but it has a very famous effect So Oolong tea has the nature of green tea but also the process of black tea It's one of the most popular teas usually in China to produce Gong Fu tea is used to produce Oolong tea Oolong tea has the four different types One is from the northern region of Fujian It's called Anxi Tieguanyin It's from a very far north and then further down to the south it's a very famous rocky mountain in Yunnan and very famous for Oolong tea So that was actually because they had a different way of making it and created by the person who actually did the invention that's why it's very famous for the Oolong tea I'll tell you because tea like that is the best tea when you a quality tea in country So for instance in 6,000 kilometers from Yunnan you have the best tea in the country So in 2013 one bag of 20 grams of for about 60,000 dollars So that is what the Bahus are precious about and the flavor is very charcoal rich and really quite expensive because the key road area the black tea is because that double so that usually tea has small branches actually in terms of nutrition and the health and because looking bad and also taste so that is what the Bahus has small branches actually in terms of nutrition and so is the Bahus has in and taste so that is what the Bahus has small branches actually in terms of taste so that what the Bahus has small in of taste small in terms taste so that is what Bahus has in terms of taste so that is the Bahus has in terms that is what the Bahus taste so that what the Bahus has in terms so that is what the has in terms taste so that is what the has in taste so that is what the Bahus has in terms taste so that is what has terms taste so that is what the Bahus has in terms of taste so that is what the Bahus has so that is what the Bahus has in taste so that is what the has terms taste so that is what the Bahus has terms so is the Bahus has in terms of taste so that is what the Bahus of taste so that the Bahus has in terms is the Bahus of taste so that what the Bahus has terms of taste so that is what the Bahus has is what the Bahus has in terms taste so is so that is has terms of taste so that is Bahus has taste so that is what the Bahus has in terms of taste so that is what the Bahus has in of so is the Bahus has in that is the
