Transcript
00:00And we're back here at Mars Pamukkur.
00:03So Mars, what is the trip of Mars Cookie and Mars Belly?
00:08Because they were just having fun here in the corner.
00:11They were just drinking tea and then they were just chit-chatting.
00:14They were just chit-chatting.
00:15I'm not really sure, but I think it's just now that they're here again.
00:19You know, Mars, of course, they have a lot of things to talk about.
00:22So let's just listen to the latest from them.
00:25Correct.
00:26Oh, this is it.
00:28Because it's familiar to the millennials.
00:30Is it Generation X? Generation Z.
00:33Z.
00:34Z? X or Z?
00:35I don't know about the millennials.
00:36I think it's Z.
00:37Z.
00:38Okay, so this is it.
00:40This is the trend now.
00:41Spill the tea.
00:43Tea.
00:45Spill the tea.
00:46Tea.
00:47What do you mean by spill the tea?
00:49Yes, you're making me spill the tea.
00:51Not tea.
00:52Not spilling.
00:53What is that?
00:54Spill the tea means chismisang.
00:57Oh, so it's chismisang.
00:59That's what we want.
01:01Spill the tea.
01:02Spill the tea.
01:03That's it.
01:04What's the latest?
01:05Latest?
01:06Oh, this is it.
01:12Yes.
01:13Really?
01:14Yes, it's true.
01:15I don't think so, but you want the truth.
01:18What?
01:19This.
01:21That's too much.
01:22That's too much chismisang.
01:24You've been giving birth for a long time.
01:26What do you mean by a long time?
01:27I just gave birth today.
01:29Oh, Mars.
01:30If only you knew this.
01:31Did you know that...
01:37Is it true?
01:38It's true.
01:39They're so annoying, Mars.
01:41If only you knew this chismisang.
01:43You'll be surprised.
01:44Oh, we know that.
01:45We understand.
01:46We understand everything you said.
01:48Of course.
01:49Of course.
01:50But you don't know this.
01:58Is it true, Mars?
01:59Yes, it's true.
02:00That's why the taping was stopped.
02:02Yes.
02:03Yes.
02:04Mars, you know what?
02:06I'm sticking together with all of them.
02:09Me too.
02:10If only you knew this, Mars.
02:12Sometimes, it's not good to listen to rumors.
02:15Sometimes, it's not good to listen to rumors.
02:20Actually, sometimes, we feel like we're being talked about.
02:26But it's not true.
02:27It's true.
02:28So, I don't know if it's true for the feeling millennials.
02:33So, let's go to the traditional tea time with Kuya Kim.
02:37Yes.
02:38We'll learn a lot there.
02:40Watch this.
02:46In this pandemic, we need to support small food businesses to survive.
02:51And today, we'll visit a tea house called Tea House.
02:57Ralph, what's so special about your place?
03:00Well, it's a place for people to slow down.
03:03That's the concept.
03:04I have special teas here.
03:06Can you taste it?
03:08Sure.
03:09I'll be more than happy.
03:11Kuya Kim, what I want you to try is what we call Oolong Tea.
03:15Oolong Tea?
03:16Yes.
03:17Oolong Tea?
03:18Yes.
03:19If you drink a lot, it's called Oolong.
03:21If you drink a little, it's called Oolong.
03:24That's wrong.
03:25What do you put in your hand?
03:28This is Oolong Tea.
03:31Let's see.
03:32Ideally, if you want to do tea time, you want to show your guest what they're drinking.
03:40And I think that's what makes it different with how people normally do tea.
03:45Tea bag, nuglog, serve, that's it.
03:48This is different.
03:49Okay.
03:50What's our next step after this?
03:51Okay.
03:52So, what we want to do is we want to pre-warm your vessels.
03:57This is a clay pot.
04:00For me, I'm very particular with the taste.
04:03So, I want my clay pot to only use one thing.
04:07So, only Oolong Tea.
04:08Only Oolong Tea is allowed here.
04:09So that the taste of the tea won't mix inside the clay pot.
04:12Yup.
04:14And if you will notice, why am I spreading the tea tray?
04:17Why are you spreading the tea tray?
04:19Okay.
04:20That's the advantage of having a tea tray.
04:21Because this tea tray has a side.
04:23Yes, yes, yes.
04:24So, this tea tray is like a sink.
04:26Yes.
04:27Don't let it overflow.
04:29Okay.
04:30Okay.
04:31So, now that we have pre-heated our vessel, we put the tea.
04:37So, you need to pre-heat the vessel first before you put the tea.
04:41After that, warm up.
04:43And then after that, we do pre-wash.
04:46Pre-wash.
04:47Yes.
04:48There are a lot of steps in making tea.
04:51There's pre-heat and pre-wash.
04:53Then, why do we pre-wash it?
04:55Because if we will remember, tea is an agricultural product.
05:01An agricultural product.
05:02It's an agricultural product.
05:03The drying method, sometimes, we just let it dry.
05:07So, there are particulates like dust.
05:10Most likely.
05:11But it's organic.
05:12This tea is organic.
05:13Organic.
05:14I thought tea has caffeine, so it's high for you.
05:17But when you drink tea, it should be relaxing and soothing.
05:21Very, very interesting and brilliant, brother Kim.
05:24Because tea, yes, it does contain caffeine.
05:27But the difference with caffeine and coffee is that it has L-theanine.
05:32L-theanine is an amino acid that times the release of the caffeine in your body.
05:36Actually, it doesn't spike.
05:37Yes.
05:38It slowly becomes high for you.
05:40Exactly.
05:41You're alert for a prolonged duration.
05:44Not suddenly.
05:45Then, there's coffee.
05:46Here, brother Kim.
05:47Can I drink this?
05:48Yes.
05:49It's just a bit hot.
05:50Hey.
05:51For those who like pars,
05:53Oolong tea, specially prepared by Raffles.
05:56You should slurp it, right?
05:58That's the way to drink it.
05:59Put some air, right?
06:00Yes.
06:01For the Asians, when you go to the Western, you should drink it quietly.
06:05But for the Asians, you should drink it quietly.
06:09What are the benefits of drinking tea?
06:12Alertness in a controlled duration.
06:15Alertness in a prolonged duration.
06:19At the same time, tea is good for you.
06:23At the same time, tea is high in antioxidants.
06:27It's also high in anti-inflammatory properties.
06:31Thank you very much, pars.
06:33Thank you, pars Kim.
06:34For having me in your tea house.
06:38And I hope your business will succeed.
06:41And after we tasted the special tea,
06:43and we saw the special preparation of this special tea here in the tea house,
06:47we still have a lot to do.
06:48So, don't leave,
06:49Mars.
