Tribal People Try Matcha Tea For The First Time
About this video
A first taste of tea in the village. This Tribal People Try episode does what the channel always does: put something new in front of people who cook every meal from scratch and let them talk.
What is tea?
Tea from elsewhere: English breakfast with cold milk, Japanese matcha, bubble tea, iced tea, herbal teas, Turkish tea in tulip glasses. The tribe drink tea all day, so this is expert territory.
What to watch for
Cold tea is a contradiction to people who boil theirs. Bubble tea's tapioca pearls are a new texture that gets a lot of attention. Matcha's grassy bitterness is rarely a hit; Turkish tea, strong and sweet, is approved.
The comparison they always make
Doodh patti is the standard: tea leaves boiled in milk with sugar until dark. English tea, brewed in water with a splash of cold milk, is considered weak, and they say so kindly.
