I’m so grateful to have finally found a podcast that’s packed with knowledge and information, true authentic information on all things tea! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for making these. It’s awesome. Thanks man
Episode 7 was fantastic. Derek’s musings on the complicated truths of tea, certain aspects of human nature, and One River Tea’s efforts towards transparency were thoughtful and enlightening. Bravo, keep up the good work.
Fantastic podcast! This really fills a void in the sort of knowledge readily accessible to English speaking Chinese tea lovers. I def came for the tea, but I’m sticking around for the excellent tangents 👍👍
I’ve been following One River Tea for a few years now, and enjoy their content. It’s very informative, easy to understand, and a joy to listen to. I look forward to hearing more podcast episodes. Definitely a must listen to for anyone who is interested in Chinese tea.
