  Would be fun to include a social aspect: what are the workers in the field drinking? What are the owners of the trees drinking? What are the merchants drinking? What are the merchants selling? What is sold in the region vs what is exported? What are the farmers teaching their children? Go for quality? Go for quantity? Sell the good stuff for good money, or keep the good stuff for friends and family? - What is drunk on religious holidays or for a marriage or a child birth?<br><br>There must be tons of cultural nuance.

  Can&apos;t recommend the sampler pack enough to new people. It&apos;s the best way to figure out what you like. &nbsp;A sampler pack has two of each tea, so you can split one with a friend. &nbsp;It makes it very easy to try new-to-you teas and figure out what kind of tea you like.

  Love the intro of &quot;somebody made a post saying &apos;I get to decide what counts as tea&apos; and everybody started fighting about it&quot;<br>The tisane argument runs strong

  According to Zuko it is “hot leaf juice.”

  I just met So Han Fan the other day!! I started watching Jesse&apos;s stuff, looked up tea houses in my area, found West China Tea House and had the best tea experience of my life.... and then Jesse casually mentions West China Tea House at the end of this.... i have made the right decision to become a tea head!!

  Herbal and flower teas seem really interesting to me, I frequently drink tea at night so an option without caffeine is almost always what I reach for

  Keep the videos coming! &nbsp;You&apos;re a great bridge between American and Chinese tea culture.

  Honestly his take on &quot;If you&apos;re not using it for them you&apos;re using it for you&quot; is something that I feel like people just need to soak in. I don&apos;t know &quot;insert adult word here&quot; about tea but just in general yes dude, just yes. You&apos;re a good man Jesse.
